Why are there so many floating markets? I’m so confused and which one is worth a visit?

*Explicit content/language might bother you

Do you ever wonder why there are so many floating markets in Thailand? And if you have just a short time in Bangkok how do you know which one is worth visiting?

Many of you have a dream before you come to Thailand. You’ve seen pictures of floating markets and they look so beautiful and authentic in the photos. You tell yourself ‘I gotta go see this shit when I get there’ but then when you get to the floating market it turns out to be nothing like the picture! And you get disappointed and beat yourself up ‘What’ve I done?! The hell am I doing here? But my travel agent booked me this trip’ …Of course they did…Here’s the thing all of the travel agents will send you to the same floating market and that’s why they are full of tourists! Well…you can’t blame them for this though, you didn’t tell them which floating market you wanted to go to. No no no I didn’t say it’s your fault either, because you didn’t know there are so many freaking floating markets!

We’ve done some research work for you and compiled a helpful guide too. Here are some links to Floating Markets around Bangkok and some details of each place. They give you full information and pictures, and it might help you decide. As I’m a local…number 5. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the most famous one and everyone knows about it, so you do the math.

Thailand’s Extraordinary Elephants

The elephant has been a cultural icon of Thailand since ancient days called “Land of white elephants” The white elephant, Airavata(Erawan), carries the Hindu god, Indra. These white elephants have traditionally been treated as sacred animals. There is even a common belief that Gautama Buddha appeared in the form of a white elephant in a previous life before he was born as a human. Because of this, white elephants are a major symbol of divine royal power in Thailand. The number of white elephants a king possesses symbolizes how much power that king has.

Thailand is the only Southeast Asian nation that has never been colonized by Europeans, making our culturally strong. Our government remains purely Thai. The white elephants help to symbolize this. Thailand is known as “land of white elephant” because Thailand has never been colonized by the Europeans, because through diplomacy the former King of Thailand managed to keep Thailand from being colonized by the superpowers then. France, Britain, Portugal, Netherlands were all in the land claiming days and all countries were taken except Thailand which remained free and independent. Thai means free, as in independent. It was once an uncolonized nation, unlike other SE Asian countries. Because in Thai the name means “land of the free”

Colonialism is dead…instead of riding elephants learn to care for them instead. By feeding and bathing these incredible creatures you are honoring their true nobility…and yours.
