Song Khlong Floating Market, Taling Chan Temple was established on January 12, 2013. It gets its name, Song Khlong due to the fact that it is flanked by Khlong Chak Phra Canal and Wat Taling Chan Canal. Song Khlong means 2 canals.
It is a fun little market with a lot of character. It’s not overly large and mostly off the tourist trail with being over shadowed by the larger, more famous floating markets in the area. It’s just a short distance from the larger floating market, Taling Chan. Both could easily be visited on the same day.
The market is open every Saturday - Sunday and public holidays continuously from 08.00-16.00 hrs.
