floating market trip of Thailand

Ever taken taxi motorcycles in to side - streets?
Many would say yes and become familiar, while many who have never tried feel it is kind of exciting new experience sitting behind the bycicle rider running swiftly forward.
And when going to the sea, ever hired a long - tailed Boat to tour around? - especially in bright sunshine, calm sea, the mall boat roars while penetrating the blue water having the mild sea breeze on your face..oh my an offer on a yacht would be hard to decide.

Welcome to Bangkok the nickname "Venice of the East" at a time when most transportation was by boat.

An elaborate network of canals known as khlongs gave Bangkok the nickname "Venice of the East" at a time when most transportation was by boat. Today, nearly all of the canals have been filled in and converted into streets. While many khlongs still exist with people living along them and markets often being operated along the banks, most are severely polluted. A notable khlong market is the floating market in Taling Chan district. Through downtown Bangkok runs the Khlong Saen Saeb, which has a canal boat service. The wide river Chao Phraya, flowing through the city, has several cross-river ferries and the Chao Phraya Express Boat with as many as thirty stops along the both banks extending as far as the northern suburb of Nonthaburi.
