The Real Floating Market

Trent's parents were in town so a group of us took an afternoon that turned into an evening, too, and went an hour or so out of town to the floating market. There's a touristy floating market close by, but we went off to the real one, lots of Thais and hardly a farang to muck up the place. Except us, of course. There were a couple blocks around the canal, just off the river, with stall after stall of little Thai delicacies and other sorts of crafts. We grazed along the streets, then walked along the canal and grazed some more, straight off little boats piloted by little old ladies. I grabbed a barbecued squid off one boat and some spicy palmelo salad off another, then poked around for some food to take home for Dung. We took a boat ride up the river for a bit, then came back and got even more food. Thai heaven.
