An impromptu birthday lunch for a friend took us to the floating market about 1 hr outside Bangkok - a local produce / fish market where vendors prepare meals in woks on tiny canoes aside the floating platform.
Having been in BKK for over 1 year now, everyone was surprised I had not taken the time to see this yet, as it is a BKK institution. However, as most of you know, I spend most weekends traveling - the result of which is I realize I haven't actually explored my own city as carefully as I would like. I guess the equivalent would be my living in NYC for 14 years and never visiting the Statue of Liberty (yes, also true).
Sitting on thatched mats on the moving floor (floating platform, remember?) we enjoyed lots of local fish, dried catfish, chicken and basil stirfry, morning glory, fresh mangoes and much more.
I guess one could day this is the weekend equivalent of brunch in NYC....just another day in Bangkok.J
