Located opposite Wat Khlong Hae, it is an essential weekend destination for both locals and tourists, particularly from Malaysia and Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market&#8217;s charm comes from its traditional aesthetic and commitment to sustainability. Vendors, often dressed in Thai retro costumes, sell a wide variety of local snacks, drinks, and souvenirs directly from small wooden boats moored along the canal banks. A unique feature is the use of <strong>eco-friendly containers<\/strong>, such as coconut shells, bamboo tubes, and earthen pots, replacing foam and plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a true culinary melting pot, offering a diverse array of local Thai and Muslim-friendly food. Visitors can feast on grilled seafood, traditional desserts, and spicy southern dishes. Beyond the boats, a sizeable land area hosts more stalls and a lively atmosphere with occasional cultural performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market operates on <strong>weekends (Friday to Sunday)<\/strong> and public holidays, typically from the early afternoon around 1:00 PM or 3:00 PM until 9:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-79355195 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-5d2ad37d\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dsfsdf-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dsfsdf-edited.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dsfsdf-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dsfsdf-edited-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dsfsdf-edited-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-abfc14c6\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dfsfs-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dfsfs-edited.jpg 526w, https:\/\/www.malaysiatravelpedia.com\/theia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/dfsfs-edited-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-webfactory-map\"><div class=\"wp-block-webfactory-map\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed\/v1\/place?q=Khlong%20Hae%20Floating%20Market&amp;maptype=roadmap&amp;zoom=12&amp;key=AIzaSyCB9S5YMeU5UxYofTA4_m6luYifwap_OsY\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Khlong Hae Floating Market is a vibrant cultural landmark in Hat Yai, distinguished as the first and only floating market in Southern Thailand.
