 | |  |  | Floating Market: On the way to the market (I) | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
We went to floating market from Bangkok with a little company. The six of us were the only passengers and we didnt take the boats at the main pier of floating market, but at least a couple of kilometers far from it. It was one of the best things that could happen to us: we enjoyed the trip so much, there were so many interesting things on the way... First of all, it was like a complex net of small cannals, with so many crossings that we even commented if the boat driver would know well the way, because it seemed easy to get lost. Then, the houses at the banks. They were not floating houses, but life there was thought to be the water its main concern. It was funny to check that there was electrical power, we had a feeling of being in such a remote place that perhaps this was the only reminder we had of modernity. Fuimos al mercado flotante desde Bangkok con una empresa pequenha. Nosotros seis eramos los unicos pasajeros y no cogimos los botes desde el embarcadero principal del mercado flotante, sino al menos a un par de kilometros de alli. Fue una de las mejores cosas que nos podia ocurrir: disfrutamos tanto del viaje, habia tantas cosas interesantes por el camino... En primer lugar, era como una compleja red de pequenhos canales, con tantos cruces que incluso comentamos si el barquero conoceria bien el camino, porque parecia facil perderse. Luego, las casas de las orillas. No eran casas flotantes, pero la vida en ellas estaba pensada para que el agua fuese su medio fundamental. Fue curioso comprobar que habia energia electrica, tuvimos la sensacion de estar en un lugar tan remoto que quizas ese fuese el unico recordatorio que tuvimos de la modernidad. Directions: About 2 hours by car outside Bangkok city center
