Floating Market near Bangkok





Floating market was the last stop in Thailand. Well, nothing much was left from the traditional market place where local people were doing daily shopping on the river. It has been transformed into tourist place where you can buy some souvenirs and... beautiful fresh juice of coconut or mandarins - spectacular!!! Still, worth seeing and with a little bit of imagination you can go back in time and imagine how it used to be. It was funny to see traffic on the river where boats were hitting each other and sometimes you couldn't even move at all. The sellers had special sticks with a hook at the end, with a help of which they were bringing boats with tourists towards their ones and then trying to sell some products.
