Riverside Lifestyles
The architecture and way of life along the river and canals continues to remain true to Thailand’s beginnings. Floating markets are a colorful reminder of the days when farmers brought their produce to sell by boat early in the morning. Popular floating markets include Damnoen Saduak, Taling Chan, Amphawa and Tha Kha. For more insights on the riverside community, take a canal trip along the canal of Klong Om to the island of Ko Kret in Nontaburi, home to the Mon community. Enjoy the lush fruit orchards with a visit to Ko Kret pottery village, and Klong Khanom Wan, the “Dessert Canal.”
