An Independent Trip To Northern Thailand & Vietnam, Part Two: A Day At The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Then Bangkok Markets, 14 March 1996

Janie loves a market and our first full day on this trip was very much a “tour markets” day.

Salty scenes on the way to the floating market

Rose early – left for Damnoen Saduak Floating Market with private guide Priong and driver Roj.

Look round market (very photogenic).

Very photogenic – see headline picture, above and below. In truth quite a touristic place, even back then.

Return to town – fabulous seafood lunch on Soi 24 Sukhamvit – top rate.

Then home straight on to Oriental Hotel and shopping plazas – light supper in River City Shopping Centre – then home for early night.

I look a little under-dressed there for the Oriental Hotel, but oh my gosh I still have that holiday short-sleeved shirt
Daisy looks like the sort of lass who likes her grub.

All of our photos from the Thai leg of the journey can be found on Flickr through the link here and below.
