Tant and Martin waiting to go to The Floating Market. Nice
Temple on the road. |
 |
 |
Smart assed driver Dum, and dumb he was, tried to fleece Martin.
Funny house on the road. |
 |
 |
Taking off the highway, it was this flooded
underpass that grabbed Martin's attention. Murky, green slimy
water at The Floating Market. Not very appetizing. |
 |
 |
The waterways are impressive. Have a look at a
short video. It is
quite peaceful to ride on these boats. |
 |
 |
The undergrowth has a kind of sorcery feeling about
them. The flowers are nice too. |
 |
 |
You have another video, some 166 Mbytes that you
can watch from these waterways.
It is many of these cronies in these system. |
 |
 |
Nice flowers and lush vegetation characterizes
these bushes. One house has metal plates as sheeting in front of
the house. |
 |
 |
Derelict buildings all along the canals.
And some have nice flower arrangements in front of their entrances. |
 |
 |
Queues are all along the lived in houses. Most of
them are abandoned. Then the shops, and there are hundreds along
the water ways. |
 |
 |
Nice saleslady too.
They are rebuilding some to the stuff along the canals. |
 |
 |
The view is nice.
A ingenious fence made of empty plastic bottles seems to work. |
 |
 |
Some washing hang out to dry.
All the houses have the Thai flag and/or the yellow King's flag. |
 |
 |
There are gangways along the canals
that can be used by bikes as well. There are bridges so the
bikes can cross. |
 |
 |
The boats have fancy engines.
Some fancy signs are up too. |
 |
 |
Shoes for sale. The prices are
excessive. A beer usually twice the street value on the waterways.
Spices are a very popular product. |
 |
 |
Old lady taking it easy in her sales
boat, catering for hungry and thirsty tourists. Sarongs are also
a popular sales object. |
 |
 |
Hazy mess of all kind for sale.
These mini bikes are impressive. If Martin had money, he would have bought one. |
 |
 |
The fruit is delicious. These are meant
for resale. Bags in all shapes and sizes are for sale. |
 |
 |
The food boat. Martin bought some
chicken and spring rolls. It was delicious. The canals could be
crowded at times. |
 |
 |
The even sell plants from their boats.
A Swede had hung up a fancy sign from Sweden, saying he was here. |
 |
 |
The wide water ways. Fun to travel fast
on. See video. The
main shopping area. |
 |
 |
The flags over the bridge.
And washing outside the houses is a sure sign somebody lives there. |
 |
 |
Nice curve on the water way.
The flowers are lovely. |
 |
 |
This must be a parody of John Lennon,
Martin thinks. The water level is a little bit high due to all
the rain lately which is unseasonal. |
 |
 |
Nice lowered gang way.
The bridges impresses Martin as the old civil engineer hi is. |
 |
 |
An ongoing boat at full steam makes it
fascinating. Calm waters. |
 |
 |
Mystique undergrowth are nice.
Martin's leg in the narrow boat. |
 |
 |
After leaving The Floating Market, we
passed a traffic accident. This man doesn't look too good. |
 |
 |
On the way back to the city some 100
kms away, we passed this tall building among many. The skyline
of Bangkok form the South. |
 |
 |
Martin and Tant is having the last
dinner at Rosabieng. Martin likes it there and enjoys the music and company.
We had a steamed fish for dinner, nice but not enough for two. |
