Talad Nam Lam-Paya Floating Market

Our friend, Jiraporn, who lived in the U.S. ten years and has a doctorate from Oregon State University in Fisheries and is now a lecurer in the Department of Fishery Management of Kasetsart University, generously drove us to the weekend Talad Nam Lam-Paya Floating Market about an hour north of Bangkok. No tourist would ever find this market unless they knew exactly where to make the various turns and even Jiraporn got off the track a couple times. Only the locals go to this market that sells food and useful household items.

After choosing more food than we could eat in two meals, we feasted on a cruising ferry while it meandered down a river to a Buddhist temple. Then Jiraporn and I had a Thai massage in an open air pavilion…this day…one of the most pleasurable I have spent in Thailand.
