Klonghae Floating Market is in Tambon Klonghae in Amphoe Hat Yai (also spelled haadyai). It has been open since Dec 2008 and they already have an impressive array of vendors selling food. A good sign of success is crowd size and there were certainly a lot of people there.

The floating market is open on Friday to Sunday from 3 p.m. until about 9 p.m. If you go earlier you can hire boats to go for a paddle and they apparently also have boat tours of the local area. The market seems to be in the middle of nowhere but you can take local transport from Hat Yai City. I think this place will become popular with Malaysians who drive up to Hat Yai for the weekend.

Hatyai is a city in southern Thailand near the boundry to Malaysia. Hat Yai is the biggest city of the Songkhla Province and the largest metropolitan area in Southern Thailand, and is thus often mistaken as being the capital of the province. However Songkhla is the capital. Hatyai is famous and known extremely well to Malaysian as a shopping paradise and nightlife heaven. Hat Yai's nightlife is legendary! Simple as that! Live cabaret, rock bands, dance clubs give the night scene in Hat Yai.

  • is that halal food?

  • @merekaketawakentut No I don't think so. Or maybe it's mix, because there's Muslim Thai selling there also.

  • you are welcome :)
