About Pattaya Floating Market (Four Regions)
The Four Regions Floating Market is a large purpose-built attraction on canals, with vendor boats, Thai food, crafts and cultural shows. It's man-made and touristy, and it charges an entry fee, so go in with clear eyes about what it is.
Opinions genuinely split on this one. Some find it a tourist trap, while others enjoy the food, the photos and the boat rides. If you like the idea of a floating market and don't mind that it's built for visitors, you'll probably have a decent time. If you want authentic and cheap, Thepprasit night market is the better call.
Come late morning or late afternoon to dodge the midday heat, and factor in that the boat rides cost extra on top of entry.
