#Floating Market
Despite the emergence of the ubiquitous farm pick-ups, paddy farmers and orchard gardeners still continue to meet and barter their products in age-old trading spots on the cannals (Klong). Early every morning, sampans laden with all kinds of tropical fruits and vegetables and fresh products, wind their way to the floating markets around Bangkok. There is one particular floating market in Bangkok that visitors can enjoy : Taling Chan Floating Market is a weekend market in front of Taling Chan Distric office, open from 09.00 to 17.00 hours. Boat trip services are available for sight-seeing along the cannal where gardens and a village lifestyle are still to be seen. (Bangkok Metropolitan Administration: 2001: 223)
