Talaat Nahm Khwan-Riam is a floating market located on Khlong Saen Saeb, a major canal in Bangkok, i.e. a section past the last jetty of the Bangkapi express boat service near Wat Sri Boon Reuang.

 

The market area is around Wat Bang Peng Tai (fig.) and both sides of the canal are connected with a bridge in the form of the skeleton of an ancient rice barge, referred to in Thai as kradook ngu.
