🇹🇭 Pattaya Floating Market: Worth the Hype or Tourist Trap?

📍 Pattaya Floating Market (aka Four Regions Market / "Du La La" Market) ⏰ Open Daily: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM 🌟 Why Go? ✅ Unique Vibe: Food cooked on boats! Try: Banana Roti 🍌 & Oyster Omelet 🦪 (must-eat! 50 THB). Skip the seafood noodles (⚠️ reported trap). ✅ Nearby Fun: Black Water King Shooting Range 🔫 next door! ✅ No Language Barrier: Vendors speak fluent Chinese 🇨🇳 (and Hindi 🇮🇳). 👎 Downsides 1️⃣ Tourist Central: 200 THB entry (+ 600 THB boat ride). Pro Tip: Book online (¥20 combo ticket) a day ahead—no same-day sales! 2️⃣ Souvenir Overload: Mostly cheap trinkets & Thai costumes (💀 skip shopping). 📸 Final Verdict "Cute for photos & snacks, but not 'authentic Thailand'—manage expectations!" #PattayaFloatingMarket #TouristChecklist #EatThenLeave
