A lot less known than its neighbors, Damnoen Saduak and Amphawa, Tha Kha Floating Market is certainly more modest but so much more peaceful. Some people say it is more traditional authentic.

First opened just a few times a year on dates complicated to know because they were calculated according to the lunar calendar, Tha Kha Floating Market is now open every weekend. Don expect to find souvenir shops here, here vendors mainly sell fruit and vegetables and meals cooked on the boats. But you can hire a local to take you to a rowing boat tour. You will discover the market channel and surrounding channels with some wooden houses and even a palm sugar factory. A much more authentic tour than those offered at Damnoen Saduak floating market.

Tha Kha is more relaxing to visit because it is still unspoiled by mass tourism. It is a good alternative for those who want to discover Thai floating markets but do not like the crowd. Very small, installed on a piece of canal which must not be 200 meters long, the Tha Kha floating market is a morning market.

Practical information about Tha Kha Floating Market

The floating market is open every Saturday and Sunday from 6 am to 2 pm.

How to get to Tha Kha Floating Market ?

A tuk-tuk will cost you around 200 THB to take you the 10 kilometers that separate Damnoen Saduak from Tha Kha. A car with a driver will cost you 500 THB to take you there, wait for you to visit it (and take the boat tour, which I highly recommend) and bring you back. Check with your hotel or guesthouse in Amphawa.

There were also songthaews that leave from Samut Songkram or pass on the main road outside 325 of Amphawa and go to Tha Kha market but they were not easy to take when you did not know because everything is written in Thai (20 THB) and they were not very frequent (1 every hour only). It seems that since the post-COVID recovery, they no longer come to Tha Kha Floating Market. So I advise you to hire a tuk-tuk to take you to the Tha Kha floating market to wait for you and then bring you back or take you to discover another market.
