Ampahawa seems to be growing each time I dropped by. The last time I took a night fireflies boat tour - noted a section along the Khlong I missed out before; fronted with few shops and mostly guest houses or home-stay outfits.
View from the pedestrian bridge - water level risen a lot now.
Food vendors are busy as ever along the embankments.
Turning right from the bridge away from crowded area above lead to this stretch of guest houses.
Atmosphere is filled with another sort of quiet charms. Interesting for a night stay here I reckon.
A couple of lizards waiting for preys showed up as an interesting shot!
Amphawa's floating market
Another big draw of Ampahwa is the weekend floating market, located in town along the Mae Klong river. It is a night market crossing a floating market.
By the early evening, crowd begin to build up. There are so many delicious Thai food to sample!
Local crafts.. decorative lamps shades made of coconuts!
Can't resist these grilled squids! Huge, aren't they?
Drinks made from local fruits.
This fish curry sell out fast!
Steamed fishes are very fresh too!
Someone once told me, if the food vendor look well fed, their food must be good!
I always order a "cafe yian" (iced coffee) when I see a store like this
My favorite shot.. girl checking out Thai dessert made in fruit form, so colorful!
Flower garlands!
More desserts!
Mini dumplings
Can't miss out the tropical fruits!
Photo shooting tourists over the bridge.
It's the floating market below, of course!
See the crowd sat by the canal side & enjoyed the food!
Delicious food of all sorts
This soup seem to be very popular!
Make payment & take delivery via basket hung on a guide wire
Another way to serve, spot the lady stretching out with a bamboo pole?
There goes the delivery to a customer!
In spite of busy thoroughfare, the atmosphere is still casual
Souvenirs shops lined the walkways where tourists goes.
Tourists on boats to fire fly watch at night.
Technicians serving engines of tourist boats.
Drying food out in the sun at the market.
An old charming house across the canal.
Their skills of boat handling with single oar impressed me.. you'll know what I mean if you have tried before!
Fishing game - kids get to keep their catch with paper scoops!
