Bangkok Thailand, Day 3 - Amphawa Floating Market

After visiting Maeklong railway market, we went to a floating market which is around the vicinity.
It was a Sunday noon, but the floating market was kinda quiet...
 Most of the 'floating stalls' sell food/local delicacies, and nothing more
 basically the entire floating market is just a water village with some souvenirs shop, snack shops and
homestay...
There was an art gallery in one of the lots...
It is not guarded...and these paintings are not for sale
these were just for display only...
 Here's the quieter side of the floating market...The local villagers are still residing there but most of them shut the windows and doors tight.
 Meanwhile at the busier part of the floating market....
 there were tourists around but mostly were there just to look-see, not much on shopping
 As the weather was hot, we took shelter at one of the cafes and ordered an iced Thai milk tea
 leisurely enjoying the drink at this quaint village

Quite interesting lah these floating markets. SO far I have only seen on TV. More amazingly, they also sell food!

During the weekdays, the driver would picked us (me & colleague) from the apartment at 8am daily. Sometimes he would use different route...
