This weekend Jessica, Pavla, Emily and I visited the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market just ouside of Bangkok.
we took a boat to the market - klongs full of people selling stuff out of other boats. This one was kind of touristy, but there are many more floating markets around Bagnkok. They seem to be a relic from the traditional lifestyle where Thais were dependent on the klongs and rivers for transportation. They used to load up their goods in their boats and paddle them into town to the market to sell.
typical Thai house on the side of the klong with the very common elevated concrete walkways (like the ones by my house) along the edge. I can't figure out how they build the walkways.
selling fruit at the market - pineapple, pomelo, mango, rambatan, banana.
