Pracharat Floating Market

Pracharat Floating Market is a community floating market in Suan Yai Subdistrict, Mueang Nonthaburi District, Nonthaburi Province, just north of Bangkok along Khlong Bang Sue near Wat Khema Phirataram. Established under Thailand's Pracharat community economy initiative, it features vendors selling from boats and canal-side stalls. The market is notable for affordable local foods, traditional sweets, handicrafts and OTOP products, offering visitors a glimpse of canal-side life close to the city.

Visitors can expect a small canal-side market with vendors selling from moored boats and stalls along the walkway beside Khlong Bang Sue. The setting is a residential canal community with a pier, covered walkways and simple seating areas. Visitors can browse local foods, traditional Thai sweets, fresh produce and handicrafts, watch food being prepared on boats, take photos of the canal, and experience a quiet local market atmosphere rather than a large commercial floating market.

Established around 2016-2017 as part of the Pracharat Rak Samakkee community market initiative to promote local economy and preserve canal-side market traditions in Nonthaburi. The market was developed along the historic Khlong Bang Sue canal network that historically served as a transport and trade route for communities in Mueang Nonthaburi.

Reflects traditional canal-side lifestyle of Nonthaburi communities, showcasing local culinary traditions, traditional sweets, and OTOP products. It serves as a community gathering place that preserves floating market culture close to Bangkok and supports local artisans and farmers.
