Visit Ayothaya Floating Market: A Blissful Holiday: Elephant Rides, Boat Trips, Shopping, and a Glimpse of Old City. If you are looking for a place to visit in Ayutthaya on a Saturday-Sunday holiday that caters to the whole family, is easy to travel to, and has activities to do without getting bored, "Ayothaya Floating Market" is the destination that sookjai wants to recommend you experience for yourself. Because this is not just an ordinary floating market, but a realm of enjoyment that combines the Thai way of life in one place.
Experience the elegance with the "Elephants" of Ayutthaya. As soon as you arrive at the entrance of the floating market, the first thing that will catch your eye and excite tourists is the army of clever elephants that welcome everyone. An activity that you should not miss is feeding the elephants, experiencing the cuteness and friendly eyes of the elephants up close. Or take an elephant ride. Anyone who wants to open a new experience can jump on the back of an elephant and admire the scenery around the floating market. Let me tell you that the photos come out cool and retro.
Chill with the "refreshing" atmosphere of the floating market, comfortable even though it is an outdoor floating market. Here, the environment is simulated to be shady, with streams flowing through the middle of the market, along with wooden bridges connecting back and forth, making the overall atmosphere cool and comfortable throughout the day. Suitable for bringing the family to stroll and relax on a busy holiday to turn it into a day of happiness.
Heaven for shoppers and foodies (Weekend Shopping). Anyone who loves shopping and eating, get ready to empty your stomach. Ayothaya Floating Market is bustling with many products that are selected specifically for tourists, food and drinks, from delicious boat noodles, rare ancient Thai desserts, to cool herbal drinks in bamboo tubes. Or it could be utensils, souvenirs, local clothes, handmade crafts, wickerwork, and famous souvenirs from Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province.
Check-in photo spots There are beautiful corners decorated in retro Thai style to choose from to press the shutter until the memory is full for sure.
The highlight that you must try is "boating" around the floating market. If you come to Ayothaya Floating Market and don't take a boat trip, it's like you haven't arrived! This is the real highlight because you will get to sit on an ancient rowing boat along the stream, admiring the beauty of Thai houses and shops from the middle of the water. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic at the same time. It is a relaxation that recharges the mind very well.
