The floating market is exactly what it sounds like, and I've never seen anything like it before or since. We managed to get on the only paddleboat/kayak I saw, the rest were packed with tourists and noisy, where as there was only room for me, my friend and an old woman who 'let' us row for about half the journey when she was tired.
Ask local Thais about this. Be warned, though, the prices are a lot higher than other parts of Bangkok and Thailand.
