Khlong Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Taken from a bridge that spans the “khlong” (canal) at the heart of the market; this shot offers a glimpse of how transportation and commerce took place in Bangkok when it was still known as the “Venice of the Orient”. These days, most of the khlongs in the capital have been replaced by congested streets. However, it is still possible to find active floating markets all over the kingdom, such as this one in Ratchaburi Province.
