yes, indeed, Joseph…and trading on the river has caught the government’s attention and buildings were constructed, the river was deepened, motorized boats increased in folds, etc.
This is gorgeous! A friend just returned from Myanmar with beautiful photos similar, but certainly not on as grand a scale or as brilliant as these. Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
I only posted 4 photos of the floating market…the rest are in my gallery…I think you didn’t have interest then …because you haven’t opened a blog yet, haha…but now that you have your “Where to next?” blog, your interest in taking pictures was revived, LOL…. 🙂 Thanks, Leggypeggy

It is nice that they still keep this tradition going. A way of life for them handed down from generation to generation

Thank god they did not try to stop them from trading as I think that would have happened here in Canada.

Great shots of the Bangkok floating market. I first saw it in the 1980s, and never had the sense to take pictures.
