While you are on the boat trip, remember do NOT hold on to the edge of your boat. If you can see from this picture, sometimes boats glide by each other with no space in between them. It is wise not to grab the edge of the boat especially during 'traffic jam' on the main canal.

We walked along the canal to get to the floating market one morning and ran into a very large lizard roaming around a local farm. No idea what it was but, it could probably do some damage.

You might take a picture of a woman sitting in a boat on one of the klongs but it's not worth a more than 1 hour travel from BKK. There are lots of longtails and other boats packed with noisy tourist groups, some of them drunk. Dozens of souvenir dealers are lined up at the klongs and try too pull the tourist boats to the shops by using bars with hooks. The price for a boat can be extremely high. 'Call Coke Pier 2' charges unbelievable 4000 Bath for a 2 hour tour. Some taxi drivers in Bangkok offer passengers special deals for a trip to Damnoen Saduak. Don't do it. Thre are several other floating markets in Bangkok and Thailand which are tourist attractions, but this one ist the worst I've seen.
