Take a tour of Floating Markets of Bangkok in Bangkok, Thailand – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

In Bangkok, a hotbed of Asian business and tourism, an interesting tradition flourishes.

Along the city’s canals are vendors of every imaginable ware – all traveling in tiny boats.

Weaving in and out of river traffic, merchants vie for attention in a bustling economy.

One woman prepares fresh tea from her floating café.

Another dishes up a quick and delicious meal.

A wide variety of farm fresh tropical produce is readily available.

It’s no wonder this delightful bit of Thai culture is often called “the Venice of the East.”
