Thai Food
There is food represented at the Floating Market from every corner of
Thailand. Delight in North Eastern fare like Som Tam Bpu Bpala (spicy
papaya salad with rotten crab) and fresh vegetables with Nam Prik Tha
Dang (spicy fermented fish paste) Barbecued chicken and sticky rice.
The North Eastern region of Thailand is also knows as Issan and you
will find some of the spiciest food on the planet comes from here. The
foods suggested here are intense, spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter
all at the same time creating a veritable symphony of flavors. If you
want to be ultimately adventurous try this super spicy fare.
On the other side of the Kingdom far to the south you will find some
of the best curries around with ingredients like bamboo shoots, lotus
stems, and phak tong, a japanese pumpkin.
The central region produces milder fare and is known for the variety
of kanom (snacks and desserts) available. I suggest the cotton candy
like knom from the Ayutthaya region, the former capital of the kingdom
of Siam.
For Northern fare check out all the different types of sausages
available to try. Some are spicy and some are sweet. They are made from
pork, chicken or fish.
Perhaps before you decide on the best type of food for lunch you should tour the market in the traditional style.
Thai Food
As far back as the late 1600s the Ayutthaya region was known world
wide as the Venice of the East. This feeling is still captured when
visiting there, and the floating market of Pattaya has captured the
essence of this feel as well.
Hire a row boat (bpai lira) powered by a man to tour the 100,000 sqm
market the traditional way. The boats are typically large enough to
accommodate up to 4 people. The ride down the canals is peaceful and you
can even conduct business from boat to boat just like they have been
doing in Thailand for hundreds of years.
