Chefs, cooks and locals frequent this market for fresh produce and low prices on raw meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits and more."},{"type":"text","content":"## Hour\nThis market never sleeps. Merchants and restaurateurs usually arrive around 1 a.m. to buy groceries for their stores, but the market remains open all day for those looking to buy their daily groceries.\n\n## How to get there\nIt is located on Rama IV road. The nearest metro station is Khlong Toei, about a 10-minute walk from the market.\n\nTake the exit marked as Khlong Toei market. Then walk east on Rama IV Road for 10 minutes until you reach the major intersection of Rama IV Road and Narong Road. The market will be on your right hand side.\n\nAlternatively, you can catch a bus going east along Rama IV road opposite the metro station (no. 45, 46, 72, 102 or 107).\n\n## Tips for finding authentic food\nGo early in the morning as the main action starts at 6am and lasts until 12pm."},{"type":"link","content":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru9qYqD7yuI"}]},{"address":"Taling Chan Floating Market","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":13.776321553893613,"longitude":100.45652630000001},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Taling Chan Floating Market"},{"metadata":{"width":563,"height":373},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2F16jJ5oFjeADPdQP1JiAC%2FTaling-Chan-Floating-Market-5.jpg?alt=media&token=0c94ef77-cdb8-4419-81e2-2d7d53f7df6a"},{"type":"text","content":"Like most of the Floating Markets in Bangkok, Taling Chan Market is located on the periphery of the city while still being accessible from downtown Bangkok.\n\nIf you haven't tried the bus system in Bangkok, head to Taling Chan which will give you a chance to ride the rustic buses. If buses aren't your thing, catch a Grab Car to get to the market from downtown Bangkok in half an hour.\n\nTaling Chan Market is a lovely little market with many food shops selling fruit, juices, desserts and food.
