Taling Chan

We wanted to visit some floating market, but didn't want to get up at 5am to reach the famous Damneon Saduak, which is also full of tourists. So we went to Taling Chan instead, which is open almost all day and also it's much closer. There's not much boats selling stuff though, but it's still nice to visit to take a boat cruise around the nearby canals.

There's several boats with people making thai food - I think this lady was making Som Tam - green papaya salad - which I love when it's not spicy.

I took these photos during our two different visits to Taling Chan market, and you can see that my post-processing is different too 😏

During a boat cruise you can see these unusual water streets and see local life

Overall I think it’s a good way to pass the time if you’re spending a lot of days in Bangkok. It's not very crowded and locals still outnumber foreigners, so it's pretty authentic.

Oh look, this time my bf took my picture too! 😁

All photos taken by me with Canon 550d except the last one.

Stay tuned for more photos of Thailand! 😇
