Thailand like many other Asian countries is famous for its floating markets. This old tradition has found an interesting popular take in Thailand. This traditional attraction has been turned into a crowd puller by adding several other activities of tourist interest to it.

The small rivulet in Chonburi where the typical market used to take place has been surrounded with several pretty wooden decks from where tourists can experience this spectacle. Vendors selling fruit, flowers and fish travel across the water in tiny canoe boats. You can even hire one of these boats but it might be expensive for smaller groups. It is more economical to hire a water buggy and take a joy ride through the place. The place has been decorated in a rustic way and there is a lot to see and do here.

Interestingly, they have tried to include the varied traditions from the different parts of Thailand in this place. You can also shop for silk, clothes and fresh and dried Thai herbs here. A lot of handicrafts from the country are also on display. This experience is not to be missed when in Pattaya.
