Touring a Bangkok Floating Market

We are in Bangkok for 4 days. On our first day, we paid for a tour to see a floating market. I first saw the floating market 49 years ago when I was backpacking through Thailand. From what I remember the floating market was a crowded busy scene on a river with Thai people in boats selling fruits, vegetables, and household items to Thai families living along the banks of the river or canal. Things have changed. We drive almost 2 hours through heavy traffic from Bangkok to Damnern SA-Duak, and the entrance to the floating market. We got into a boat with a driver who managed the boat, and then we started moving through a complex of canals. The canals were dug between 1866 to 1868 to connect the Mae Klong and the Tha Chin rivers. <a href="https://medium.com/in-living-color/touring-a-bangkok-floating-market-4a272689d4c0">Visit Now</a>
