Floating Markets

"Venis of the East" was what they called the Land of Siam centuries ago. The Thai lifestyle along the 2 sides of the many canals was very common at the time. However, those pictures are hard to see these days, except at Dumnernsaduak Canal , Ratchburi.

The Floating Market at Dumnernsaduak Canal, the link between Tah Cheen and Mae Klong River , is a highlight of most tourists holiday in Thailand. The early morning welcomes the sellers who paddle their boats into the area and form the floating market. When the tourists arriver, a fun-filled day begins with noisy bargaining as they shop for all kinds of food, local vegetables and fruits, traditional arts and crafts, potteries and much more.

Life along the sides of the Floating Market is simply intriging, and the sight is unforgettable. One could only hope to revisit, and that Dumnernsaduak would always stay as attractive as today.
