I have shopped in some very strange and interesting places. The best place I have ever been to is the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. It is located about 80 km from Bangkok, in Thailnd. The market is over 100 year old and hardly changed for all that time.
What market my visit to this market so special is that whole market is on a canal and the brightly-dressed merchants sell their goods from their colourful boats. The day that I was there, there were hundred of boats crowded together, where you could buy everything from fruit and vegetable to clothes, toys and even cooking meals. If you wanted to buy something, you could eiter wait on the banks of the canal and the boats to pass by or you could hire your own boat and join in the fun!
