Just off the island to the west in Ayutthaya is a surprising floating market called Krung Kao Floating Market. Its located between the river and the Wat Tha Karong temple or in Thai it’s วัดท่าการ้อง.
The temple itself dates back prior to the first conquest of Ayutthaya by the Burmese. During the second capture of the city it was completely destroyed for the grounds to be used to set up cannons to shell the city. Since it has been rebuilt and is again a working temple.
The temple complex is a maze of shrines and a mix of different religious displays for people to pray to. It is probably the most unique religious site I have ever seen in Thailand for the amount of stuff going on.
In addition to the old temple the floating market is a great way to spend a few hours shopping and eating food. There are plenty of local favorites to enjoy while you shop or go on a boat trip around the area on the Chaopraya River.
I show you what to expect if you ever find yourself at this temple and floating market. It is something to see and enjoy. There are better floating markets but this one is near the old capital and very easy to get to.
Enjoy the video!
