Floating Markets - what a concept

Even though the destination has become quite full of tourists - it still was interesting to see. About two hours outside of Bangkok by a local bus is a small town that for most part still operates like it used to for hundreds of years. Filled with little channels - most of the weekend commerce happens right outside of the houses lining the channels and right on the little boats. At this point a lot of goods are very tourist geared (crafts, hats, coconut decorations etc.) but we were still able to catch some of the authentic produce exchange in action. Of course we would not leave without sampling the local food, appropriately served from the boat, too.
