Southern Thailand's only floating market, on a small canal about 6 km north of central Hat Yai. Vendors in flat-bottomed boats sell southern Thai snacks — grilled satay, curried noodles, sweet sticky rice, the famous Hat Yai fried chicken — to crowds eating on the canal-side wooden walkways. The atmosphere is touristy but the food is authentic and inexpensive.
Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from late afternoon (around 3pm) into the evening. Best timed for sunset, when the canal-side lamps come on and the cooking smoke catches the last light. A tuk-tuk from central Hat Yai takes about 20 minutes.
