We went to one of the "floating" markets in Bangkok last weekend. It is called Thaling Chang, and looks just like any other produce/simple goods market ...until you reach the river.
The docks have been turned into simple dining rooms like this. Not one chair to be found. Instead all the guests slip off their shoes and sit Japanese style around a very short table as they FEAST on every kind of seafood you can think of.
Lucky for us, the people at the table next to us ordered something that looked pretty good. We basically pointed, said please, and got the biggest grilled fish in Asia.
It was WAY too good!
This is where the magic happens. The kitchens are nothing more than dug out canoes tethered to the side of the dining room docks.
that is so awesome. I'm jealous of that fish. Looks like a great time!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the fish had a very good time at all.
