Thailand's floating markets are among the most-photographed destinations in the country. The river and 'klong' markets give a realistic glance of how daily life must have been in earlier times. The floating markets are where the sellers, their boats laden with a wide variety of tropical fruits, flowers, vegetables and fresh produce, come to meet and barter their products with other traders.
It s very common to be approached by small boats carrying goods to sell on the 'klongs' of Bangkok so don't miss the great photo opportunity.
A great way to fully appreciate a floating market is to hire a long-tailed boat for the day. A tour along the 'klongs' also gives you an appreciation of Thai houses along the canal banks. Don't forget to get up real early for a trip to see the markets. Usually they start at dawn, and most traders have already gone back home by late morning.
