Located on the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road (north of the city center), 5 minutes from Dream World (Theme Park) and 10 minutes from Future Park (one of Asia's largest shopping Mall).
It's not the floating market where you expect to see traders paddle their boats selling goods. It's not a tourist destination either; thus not much visited by foreign tourists but is popular with the local Thai people.
Inter-linked barges docked along the canal selling authentic Thai food; mainly boat noodles which is famed to be the best.
Kuai Tiao Ruea, literally means Boat Noodle. So called because noodles were sold from paddled boats in the past. Some vendors still preserve its originality of selling noodles in their boats docked at the sides of the barges.
Origin and History of Boat Noodle
Variations and Names of Noodles
The first 2 barges housed a mini museum exhibiting the Origin and History of Boat Noodle and the Heritage of Rangsit Floating Market. Delicious and inexpensive Thai food are best tasted here, as well as experiencing the Thai way of Life.
Can you find me a table for 4, please?
There.. at last a vacant table for 4 of us - my parents, my brother and me
"Don't take my picture na, Later i forgot how to Cook...hehehe.."
Cha Yen - Thai Signature iced Milk Tea
Kuai Tiao Sen Lek (thin Noodle) Nam (soup version) Neua (beef)
Kuai Tiao Sen Yai ( broad Noodle) Haeng (dry version) Moo (pork)
Noodles come in different sizes, variations and served in a variety of meats. Make it clear when ordering as well as your preference in soup or dry version. If it sounds complicated, just order 'Kuai Tiao' and take what Come may!

Condiments, dips and sauces
My Brother can finish a bowl within seconds!
Khanom Thuai - traditional sweet dessert of steam Coconut and Cream. Sold in a set of 2 pieces. A MUST try Thai dessert. Yum Yum!!
Surprisingly, there are friendly Arowanas performing teasing flipping acts like dolphins in the canals to catch your attention. But its hard to capture them in my camera.
Maybe i should buy them some fish food first? Take a packet and drop 10 baht in the Piggy. Still no luck. The Arowanas flip here flip there in the speed of lighting.
ArGhh.... Maybe i should go for a traditional Thai massage instead; at the last barge managed by the Rangsit Municipal women's group.
If you have a day to spare, do visit Rangsit. First to the floating market, then to Dream World, and ending the day with shopping at Furture Park would be just perfect.
