Thailand - FLOATING MARKETS 水上市场

Amphawa Floating Market
Amphawa is the second most popular floating market 50 km from Bangkok, not as large as Damnoen Saduak but more authentic, with visitors almost exclusively Thai. This once small village was apparently already present in the mid-17th century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets.

The main draw is of course eating seafood grilled precariously on wooden boats moored around the famous central bridge, serving an appetizing array of huge prawns, shellfish and squid. From noon until late in the evening, the smell is simply irresistible and customers flock to each side of the river all day long.

In 2008, the community was granted an Honorable Mention Award from the UNESCO Asia–Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.


Pattaya Floating Market
Pattaya Floating Market is a new tourist destination for Thai cultural conservation located in the heart of Pattaya city. It was established as a center of tourism focusing on cultural conservation that simulates the simple way of life of Thai people. It is also a learning center for Thai self-sufficient living connected with water, and a fascinating view of the local wisdom of four regions of Thailand: the North, the Central, the North East and the South.


Plearnwan
Plearnwan is an eco-vintage village near Hua Hin that features a 1950s faux-Thai high street that evokes the good old days of traditional Thai culture. Plearn is a combination of “play” and “learn” while Wan is from “wunwan”, meaning good old days.

Two-story wooden shop-houses in the center are decorated in old-fashioned style with advertisements, film posters, fashion magazines, appliances, and collections connote a nostalgic time.

Plearnwan includes a radio station that entertains all day long with oldies. Also, visitors can take vintage photos with a picture of Hua Hin Station as a backdrop. On the weekend, visit a funfair, an outdoor cinema, a Ferris wheel, and a variety of amusing side-stalls and games. Indulge in dishes at Khao-oon Kaengron, a renowned local restaurant, such as skewered sweet grilled fish, Thai style noodle rolls, Thai coconut pancakes and ice pops.


安帕瓦水上市场
安帕瓦是曼谷附近第二个受人欢迎的水上市场，规模不如大丹能沙多，但却更加正宗，参观者几乎都是泰国人。它位于距离曼谷50公里处，17世纪这里还是一个小村庄，现在已发展成为泰国周末度假聚集地，各种美食从河岸远远铺设至周围的街道。最吸引人的当然要数在桥中央停泊的木船上吃海鲜，它可以为您提供开胃的大虾、贝类和鱿鱼。从中午到深夜，美食的味道简直不可阻挡，使得游客络绎不绝地涌向河的两侧。2008年，社区被联合国教科文组织授予亚太地区文化遗产荣誉奖二等奖。


芭堤雅水上市场
芭堤雅水上市场是泰国文化保护旅游胜地，位于芭堤雅市中心地带。它侧重于文化交流，竭力模拟泰国人简单的生活方式，充分展现了泰国人民靠水吃水、自给自足的生活方式，与此同时，这里还展现了泰国北部、中部、东北部和南部本地人民的优秀智慧。大城水上市场，围绕一个大池塘简称，中央有一个小岛。它保存了大城时代沿袭下来的泰国传统生活方式 - 服装、建筑、艺术、文化和食品，供游人欣赏。


往日情怀
往日情怀是一个靠近华欣地区的生态复古集市，以仿造的50年代古老的泰式街道为特色，这让那里的老人回忆起过去的美好时光，让年轻人了解传统文化。而往日情怀的取名就是结合了“学”与“玩”，寓意着美好的过去。位于市集中心的一座两层高的商店木屋，上面贴满了旧时代广告，电影画报，时尚杂志，室内还有古老的电器和各类收藏。这种装饰勾起了人们对过往的回忆。

往日情怀市集内还有一座广播站，用来娱乐当地的老人。当然游客们也可以照一些复古的照片留作纪念。周末的时候还会有游乐场开放，场内设有露天剧院，摩天轮和一系列小游戏设施。玩可以在那里著名的餐厅khao-oon Kaengron大吃一顿，有烤串烤鱼，泰式拉面，椰果松饼和脆脆冰。
