One side trip outside Bangkok was a trip to a floating market, and we passed this orchid farm on the way.

We got into long boats and sped to the floating market via a series of narrow canals.

A typical house along the way - easy access to the canal!

They were blowing soap bubbles and tossing rocks into the canal, and waved as we passed by.

A portion of the floating market. People would sell their wares or cook food as we wandered by. While many vendors carried their stock in boats there was also a larger permament building with various souvenirs for sale... that portion of the market had all the signs of the classic tourist trap. ;)
