Khlong Sra Bua Floating Market
More of a cultural theatre than a functional market, Khlong Sra Bua Floating Market is a replica of the ancient Khlong Sra Bua village, a community of clay potters and home to an important river trade route north of town.
Today the replica village brings a slice of the ancient village to life, with an addition of fascinating performances on its water stage – the main highlight of the floating market. The performances depict various scenes from traditional Thai folk tales, boat songs and stage dramas, which can rarely be seen today.
