Floating Market represents a trading activity unique to Thailand's central region as most old folks relied on the waterways to travel around. The Chao Phraya River, for example, provides the nation with a lifeline. However, at the advent of roads. people enjoy easier accesses, and floating markets gradually gave way to land-based markets. Thus, some were forced out of business; others must adjust to survive the changing social behavior. Although some of the existing floating markets have deviated greatly from their original function, the allure of markets over the flowing water continues to grow in popularity.
