Amphawa Floating Market Thailand-40a

            Men sit on tables and eat food from river boats at Amphawa floating market which is located 50 km from Bangkok.  This once small village was apparently already present in the mid-Seventeenth Century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that we went on Friday to avoid the crowds.  The food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets.  The main draw is of course eating seafood grilled on wooden boats moored. 
Customers perch on rows of narrow steps leading down to the water and food is brought directly from the boats onto really tiny tables. There are restaurants with real tables and chairs and food venders everywhere. 

Wooden shops along each side of the Wat Chula canal sell Amphawa souvenirs from T-shirts to some more interesting creations. In all streets radiating from the market you can find an incredible array of local food sold from small carts. 
There are longtail boats to explore the surrounding canals and rivers.  Fireflies can be seen along the river at night and there are several Buddhist temples.
