At a floating market, whether there are boats floating to sell things or not, you will find nearly the similar items available at a common supermarket. But shopping at a floating market allows you to have a chance to see an ordinary atmosphere of the daily life of the natives and enjoy bargaining. Things that become signs of a floating market are "boat noodles" and ancient-style coffee. Home grown fruits and vegetables are on sale. A great selection of Thai specialties range from rice and curries, papaya salad, roasted chicken, chilli paste to all kinds of typical Thai desserts. Plant collectors will also enjoy picking up and buying from an assortment of blooming plants as well.
