MRT & Bus or Taxi
You can take the MRT Blue Line to Bang Khun Non station and then get on a free electric BMA Feeder bus that is going to 4 floating markets in the Taling Chan area, with bus departures scheduled every 30 minutes from 09:00 to 17:30.

You can take Bangkok bus No. 40, 511, 515, 516, or 556 to the Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (Sai Tai Mai) and board the free electric BMA Feeder bus there.
As the free bus going to 4 floating markets in the Taling Chan area is not very frequent, you might prefer to take a taxi that should cost about 60-80 THB.
If you want to reach the place nearest to the market by public bus, you need to take the local bus No. 146. You have to drop off at the bus stop opposite to the “Southern Association” and then get a songtaew ride. We wouldn’t recommend this option because waiting for the songtaew can take really long. It’s better to get a taxi there, as they are regularly passing by along the main road. Otherwise, you can just walk, as the distance from there to the Khlong Lat Mayom floating market is only 1.5 km.
Taxi to Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market
Taking a Bangkok taxi is by far the fastest and easiest way to get to the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market from anywhere in Bangkok. The cost of the trip will depend on the place where you are staying. If you are staying around the Khao San Road area, expect the taxi ride to cost you about 250-300 THB each way.
