Unique shopping experience
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 Thailand.
The market is over 100 years old and has hardly changed for all that time.
What maked my visit to special is that the 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 vegetables to clothes,
you could either 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!
Tt wasn't just the sights,
though, that made this visit such an unforgettable experience.
this market offers a feast for the senses!
All around me were the sounds of wooden boats bumping together and the noisy chatter of the crowd.
I had never been to a place whit so many different smells: the aroma for freshly ground spices,
exotc fruit and vegetables, seafood and meats,
all mixed with the mouth-watering fragrance of fresh cooked Thai delicacies.
When i finshed my shopping for the day,
I felt tired but excited and happy.
It was certainly an experience i would never forget.
If you are ever ti Thailand,
you should definitely visit the floating market.
It's an unique experience.
