In the past, daily commerce in Thailand was conducted mostly along rivers and canals (or khlongs in Thai). Bangkok's water network was busy and served as the principal means of communication causing Bangkok to be called as the “Venice of the East” by early European visitors.
Today Bangkok's floating markets may not be quite so vibrant. The best known Floating market is at Damnoen Saduak, some 109 kilometres southwest of Bangkok or approximately two hours drive. It is a ‘must-see' destination and probably visited by nine out of every ten tourists who visit Thailand. Every morning, hundreds of boats crowd the market area. Most of them are paddled by women with picturesque straw hats. Visitors can find everything from vegetables and fruits to freshly-cooked noodle and souvenirs at this lively market. |
