Khlong Bang Luang Market

Khlong Bang Luang Market is a canalside art market in Phasi Charoen — a quiet heritage community on the Thonburi side of Bangkok where descendants of the original canal-dwelling residents have preserved their riverside way of life for modern visitors to experience. Despite being known locally as a floating market, it’s not a floating market in the traditional sense; it’s more of a canalside cultural quarter, with the canal itself providing the backdrop rather than the trading ground.

Baan Silapin – Artist’s House
The centrepiece of the market is Baan Silapin (Artist’s House), an old wooden house dating back to the Ayutthaya era that has been converted into a gallery and creative space. Inside, visitors will find traditional Thai paintings, handmade products, and opportunities to craft their own souvenirs — including necklaces, bracelets, and hairbands. Every weekend at 2:00 PM, Baan Silapin hosts a traditional puppet show at the market entrance. The performance changes weekly, making each visit a different experience.

The Market
The market itself is compact — around 15 minutes to walk through — with retro-style craft stalls selling handmade, high-quality products at affordable prices. Some stalls are air-conditioned, others open-air. Food options include Thai eateries, good coffee, and boats selling noodle dishes from the canal. Krua Khun Oi restaurant near the market entrance is a popular spot.

Heritage & Art
The Khlong Bang Luang community is notable for murals inside the local church by Khrua Inkhong — a celebrated 19th-century Thai painter. The area also features two bridges that serve as popular photo spots, along with Baan Phueng Silp and other scenic corners. Long-tail boats pass the canal every few minutes as part of Bangkok canal boat tours.

Getting There
By car: enter via Soi Phetkasem 20 and park at Wat Kamphaeng Bang Chak. By public transport: take the MRT Blue Line to Bang Phai station (exit 4), then a motorcycle taxi (15 baht) to the market. Walk left from Wat Kamphaeng, facing the canal — the entrance is near Krua Khun Oi restaurant.
