New Experience on Floating Market

Oh my God....i don't know why Thai people like us having wonderful traditinal floating market like this.


My brother gave me wonderful surprise by waking me up very .... very....early morning one day and invited me to join his Floating Market trip. Yeah, it's a bit difficult for me to get up too early when going to work... ha ha ha.... but this is for sightseeing!! Why not!!

After a quick bath, i'm ready to go....


Going out of town makes me happy...


Just let me stay away from busy town and have a break...

Our destination is "Damnoensaduak Floating Market" in Ratchaburi province, only 80 kms away from BKK to the Southwest. It takes us only one hour to get there.

Along the way, we had one stop to visit Coconut Sugar Home Industry. Of course, it's something interesting as u never imagine how those sugar came from..











Proceed further...We were dropped at the pier... Ah...it's time for taking a long-tailed boat crusing along the canel and see thai traditional life style along both sides of the banks....

Once we arrived the floating market area, the long-tailed boat stopped and we got out of the boat and walked along the floating market area.

Wow....this place is really interesting as expected. It's crowded with many people / sellers / buyers / tourists etc. and we saw wonderful small wooden boats laden with variety of fresh fruits, colorful flowers, vegetables and food stuff etc.

We thought about taking padling boat trip cruising along the canel.





Having something to eat on board...

That's nooldes....this's grilled pork....those're fresh fruits...these're fruit juices....

THis is such wonderful experience once in life...

Let's give it a try....

Still remember my last visit, taking paddling boat while having fresh pandan coconut juice on board was wonderful. I couldn't stop buying those fresh fruits...highly recommend this place if you go to Thailand. Love to go there again!!
