Floating markets are like living museums where you can immerse in the local culture and way of life as it once was before the arrival of global consumerism. Totally lively and somewhat chaotic, small 'khlongs' or canals are filled with flat boats piled high with fresh produce, each jockeying for position and paddled by ladies ready to stop and bargain at a moment’s notice. It’s colourful, noisy, touristy but great fun. During the long-tail boat ride to market, you’ll pass orchards, traditional teak houses and local people going about their lives. To be visited is Nakorn Pathom town, site of the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia.
Bangkok Canal takes you by boat along the legendary Chao Phraya River and some canals on the Thon Buri side is the most pleasant way to explore the city once dubbed “Venice of the East”.

The palace begun in 1782. It is a consisting of several building with highly decorated architectural designs.
