It’s a Sunday when I visit the Ayothaya Floating Market so it’s not surprising that it is full of locals, making a daytrip up from Bangkok or including it in part of a weekend holiday. There are families with children, grandparents, young lovers. For me, I get more pleasure out of seeing everyone enjoy the markets than from the site itself. Candy canes and face painting are not really my style. But, strangely, I feel less like a tourist here than in other parts of the country I’ve visited. I feel almost invisible, watching life go on around me.
Let me share with you now some photos of what I can see, so you’ll perhaps understand a bit more of what I mean.
