All along each side of the canal, old charming wooden shops sell Amphawa souvenirs, from the obvious T-shirt to some more interesting creations, and of course lots of sweets, snacks and ice cream - Thai people have a very sweet tooth and a passion for nibbling all day. In all streets radiating from the market you can find an incredible array of local food sold from small carts during the weekend only. Most food looks familiar but some really look unusual or even funny, from ice cream sandwiches to alien-looking helmet crab egg salad
Once you have had enough walking around Amphawa, it's time to take one of the many longtail boats and explore the surrounding canals and rivers. It's not as impressive as the Bangkok Khlongs but it's always good fun, and after the heat of the market the breeze from the river is a welcome relief. Two tours are available from the many counters found around the bridge: the temple tour and the island tour. Both usually coast 50 baht per person for joined tours and 500 baht for a private boat. 50 baht appears cheap but the tour last a lot longer as the boat has to wait to be full to leave then wait for all passengers at each stop
