In Asia, they love going to markets and bazaars. Their markets are rich with different kinds of vegetables, fruits, fish or meat. One interesting thing is that they also have floating markets. Those markets are usually on a boat on rivers passing through the city. Markets that has everything that a normal market has, and tourists having a boat trip can easy shop. There are also floating restaurants that serve food on the go.
Boats in different colors filled with different kinds of food is something you will see only in south-asian countries. India, Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam are rich with those kind of markets. Here we wont talk about if this is a good and healthy way of selling food, but you must admit they are stunning and unusual. Take a look at these 6 floating markets, sure there are much more but these will give you the whole picture of how one floating market looks.
