    We took a boat from Ratchawongse - to Thewes - and passed a flower market - but came upon this amazing local market on a klong - which just had the most incredible foods - some of which were fairly unappetising! I have been back to this market several times - and never cease to marvel at it! Makes Western supermarkets look pretty damned boring!

    The small home communinits on the Chao Phraya River are normally missed by visiters to Bangkok. These communities appear as old wooden shanty type homes right in the river up some of the less traveled canals. They are very interesting to check out! Great for photo journalism too.

    The klongs in Bangkok are incredible. Bangkok was once referred to as the Venice of the East. If you take the ferry to the northern most stop. N30 - Nonthaburi, you can hire a thaistyle long boat and go on a tour around the klongs. You will see life on the klongs, as it has been for hundreds of years!

    Hire a river taxi and cruise around for an hour or two. On the out-of-the-way canals, you'll get to see lots of the most friendly Thai people waving to you from their houses on the water. On the main river, you'll be able to see some of the incredible contrasts in Bangkok.

    Take a boat trip along remaining canals (klong). There are only some canal left and most of them are on the west bank of Khao Phaya river.

    Hire a water taxi and take a tour around the klongs. You'll get an insight into how people live on the riverbank and see the city from water level. It's a very different world from the commercial centre.
