Don Wai floating market is located in Samut Phran district, Nakhon Pathom in Central Thailand. This market is opened early in the morning and would fully close by mid afternoon. It is situated next to a river. There are many varieties of items available in Don Wai market.
Compared to the usual market, it has a lot of unusual items, well known delicious food and ideal place to get souveniors and gift items for example roasted walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts that are freshly made. And it is not a tourist place, the patrons are almost all locals.
