Floating Market

We were suppose to go to Monkey Island, but no dice. Instead, while reading the weekly Ex-Pat newsletter delivered directly to my email, I discovered that the Floating Market was having a cultural event. Since Brian missed out on the parade yesterday and I missed out on taking pictures, it was the perfect opportunity.

Type of sweet food stuff.

Thailand Almonds

Apparently, the floating market here is modeled after the actual thing in Bangkok. A straight forward tourist attraction. It was a bit busy when we arrived. A couple ladies where dressed up... gave me hope that it would be as nice as the parade we stumbled upon... but it wasn't.

More Food

Lots of Canals

We eventually made our way to the back of the market. Something very VIP was happening - lots of paparazzi. I have no clue who the celebs were. Either way, that was the extent of the cultural event that was happening.

 We ate our way back through the market. It's nice that admission is free.

 Shopping!!!

 After a day at the market, we went across the street from our house. In these jars are homemade whiskeys that are different flavors. Brian and Emily love them. I think it taste like liquid ginseng. Which I guess is a good thing because you can't taste the whiskey. They coat the bottom of the shot glass in honey, and give you pickled fruit to eat with it. Interesting.

Pick your poison.

Cheers!
