Bangkok is also known as Venice of Asia, and river is one of main travel channels from places to places. Up to this moment, locals still travel by boats and in certain towns, daily activities on the rivers still remain unchanged.

Fruits seller in the floating market
We can find many floating markets in Thailand, some start early in the morning and some late afternoon. The most welknown floating market in Thailand is in Damnoen Saduak. I have been to this market coutless times because I've had so many visitors and this is one of the places I'd recommend if the stay is more than 3 days.
The scenery in the floating market is fascinating. The colors, the activities, the boat traffic and experience of eating noodles on the boat, all these made a great start of a day. If you can feel the locals ways of living (even thought this market is becoming more of the tourist spot), blend in the society, that's the best way to travel and get to know the beauty of their cultures.
