Description: |
|
The lifestyle of villagers who depend on the flows of Chao
Phraya River for a long time is very intriguing. Both sides of
the riverbank are filled with stories of prosperity, history,
civilization and significance of the enthronement of several
kings.
Khlong Luang district is one of the origins of
historical legend with a great number of mysteries unsolved.
Since the old days, the lifestyle of Khlong Sam residents, who
are closely related with the river, has shaped up a set of
beautiful community culture in the middle of nature-bound way of
life. Now it is an opportune time for Khlong Sam locals to
retell their glorious past in a whole new account that people
from all over the country can be proud of.
Such pride is the emerging of Khlong Sam Floating Market.
Khlong Sam Floating Market is one of the latest tourist
attractions through the cooperation of both the public and
private sectors. The support given to the establishment of this
floating market community tells not only the story on the
beautiful way of living in the ancient time, but also a true
preservation of nice culture and festivals amidst the modern
life.
Throughout the total 20 kilometres
length of the canal, visitors can find more than 100
small boats fully loaded with all kinds of products for sale,
such as agricultural products, handicrafts from Pathum
Thani, a large array of foods and desserts, as well as
souvenirs.
It can be said that this is more than just a
newly-founded floating market that attracts tourists with its
charm. Khlong Sam Floating Market has well cooperated in keeping
the water clean by utilising modern technology. It is hoped that
tourists can get to learn more about the past. The
transportation has been improved to connect the land and the
water for more convenient access and an aesthetic impression
from truly being one of Thailand’s floating markets. |
