The Red Lotus Floating Market: A Year-Round Oasis

The Red Lotus Floating Market, spanning 44 rai (approximately 17 acres), boasts a 24-rai (9.6 acres) lotus pond that flourishes year-round. This verdant haven cultivates two distinct lotus varieties: the "original lotus" and the "Maemiao red lotus." Visitors can embark on scenic boat tours through the lotus fields for 100 baht per round, accommodating 2-5 passengers. These intimate journeys allow for close-up encounters with the vibrant blooms, offering ample opportunities for selfies and capturing the essence of the landscape. For those seeking panoramic perspectives, drone photography services are readily available, showcasing the market's modern amenities.


The atmosphere of the floating market here is relaxed, well-organized, and clean. The air circulates well, with a constant breeze that prevents it from becoming stiflingly hot. There are many beautiful spots for taking photos.


The Market's Charm: Lakeside Shops and Scenic Views

Nestled beside a vibrant field of red lotus flowers, the market's shops stretch in an L-shape, offering a diverse array of goods. From souvenirs and plants to delectable snacks and refreshing beverages, the market caters to every need. Comfortable tables and chairs are scattered throughout, inviting visitors to relax and savor their purchases while enjoying the picturesque surroundings. Whether you choose a local delicacy or a handcrafted memento, the market provides ample space to find the perfect spot and soak in the scenic beauty.


The Red Lotus Café, the only café in the area, offers a pleasant atmosphere with air-conditioned rooms and freshly brewed coffee. A must-try menu item at the café, and a must-try at the Thung Bua Daeng Floating Market, is the "Mieng Bua," a dish made with sweet pink lotus petals.


You can sit outside to enjoy the view of the red lotus field and the floating market. Or you can go up to the rooftop on the second floor, where you can see a panoramic view from a higher angle. The atmosphere is very good.


Another attraction is the **"pedal boat"**, a small lake located behind the floating market. This spot is popular with both children and adults. The rental fee is 60 baht for half an hour.
