Floating Market of Sam Khok - Relaxing in a Community Near Bangkok

Hello everyone, today we will take you on a trip to a small community market not far from the capital, just around Sam Khok, Pathum Thani! This market is called "Ing Nam Sam Khok Market". We guess the name comes from the fact that the community is located next to the Chao Phraya River.

The community consists of wooden houses built close together along the riverbank. It is a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere, especially with the light crowd and few open shops during our visit. The constant rain throughout the day might have contributed to the quietness. However, locals assure us that the area is usually bustling with numerous shops and activities.

We stumbled upon a graffiti of a "tigerfish," which was quite amusing. Tigerfish are abundant in this area, and they serve as a local emblem. (I attempted to capture a real tigerfish on camera, but the rain made the water murky, resulting in blurry images.)

We stopped by a small coffee shop for a break. The shop, "Kham Khlong Cafe," is decorated with vintage toys and collectibles in a biker style, giving it the feel of relaxing in a garage.

• The arcade game machine really caught our eye.

• A small and cute Volkswagen garage.

Our order has arrived, but I can't quite recall the name. Was it Mint Macchiato? (Not sure, haha)

The restaurant also has seating on the second floor. This photo was taken from the second floor looking down.

After sitting for a while, we went out to take pictures around the community. But because it was raining continuously, we didn't get many pictures. Our camera isn't waterproof, haha. We have to be careful. We haven't finished paying for it yet. T-T

Let's stop for a quick photo at this bridge over the canal. The bridge's colors are incredibly vibrant, and Mom Chamroen's outfit is just as colorful. It's as if they planned it! Haha.

Even though there are fewer people than usual, it still seems quite crowded. Haha.

This is a cute restaurant boat. We originally considered going in to eat, but the seating was limited. My boyfriend's long legs told him that "it would be difficult to bend his legs," so we skipped it.

This riverside balcony is delightful. The breeze is cool and refreshing, and the houses in the vicinity are meticulously maintained. The wooden floors gleam brightly in every home.

"Ubiquitous image" is an accurate description, as it can be found throughout the community, even reaching those "above" (figuratively speaking).

I'm secretly taking photos of him making traditional coffee. Hehe.

Only 20 baht per glass (remember what they shouted to attract customers). If you come to visit, please support them... I didn't get any advertising fees, just to let you know. Haha.

We walked a little further and came across a gas station. We decided to stop and take a look around.

Beaming with excitement, I asked if I could sit in the captain's chair. Haha!

It's time to say goodbye for now. We'll share more stories about our next adventure. Until then, take care and remember to follow us for more exciting content. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

On the way back, I saw a tiger. Haha.
