Charm of floating markets of Bangkok

October 27, 20201359 Views

Thai capital Bangkok has a host of floating markets. The floating markets in Bangkok are one of the country’s biggest attractions. Although many of the waterways have been replaced by the road, their unmistakable charm makes them destinations worth visiting. These floating markets are very popular among tourists especially for shopping. Almost every traveller has a visit to at least one on their first trip here. The colours, chaos, flavours and atmosphere make it a unique experience, and the novelty of buying a snack from a passing boat takes some beating. Floating markets are Taling Chan Market, Bang Ku Wiang Market, Tha Kha, and Damnoen Saduak. There are actually several floating markets around Bangkok open all day, including a small but very nice one just 12km from S...

Chef Emily Wells was unsure what to expect as she opened the doors of her seasonal restaurant in rural Prince Edward Island the same day Canada’s four Atlantic provinces bubbled together, allowing travel between them while keeping their borders restricted to everyone else. The result was far better than she could have imagined. “It was a remarkable summer, I was floored by it,” Wells said. “The bubble made all the difference. It certainly worked for us.” The border restrictions along with tough public health measures helped the east coast provinces, which have a combined population of 2.4 million, tamp down COVID-19 early on and largely keep the virus at bay even as the rest of the country entered a second wave of infections.

अपनी पिछली यात्रा की यादें धुंधली भी नहीं हुई थी कि एक बार फिर अंडमान जाने का मौका मिला। पिछली यात्रा से बिलकुल ही अलग, इस बार कुछ काम करते हुए, बीच-बीच में वक्त निकालकर घूमना था- अंडमान की उन जगहों पर, जहां पिछली बार नहीं गए थे और जहां पर्यटक भी बहुत कम जाते हैं। लेकिन जब हम अनजानी राहों पर होते हैं तो चाहें काम ही क्यों न हो, हर अनुभव घुमक्कड़ी को ज्यादा मजेदार बना देता है। खासतौर से तब, जब आप पहले सब कुछ तय नहीं किए रहते, चाहे आने-जाने का साधन हो या फिर रुकने व घूमने की जगहें। मिडिल अंडमान का धानी नाला बीच पर्यटक, ट्रेकर और घुमक्कड़- तीनों की लिस्ट में अंडमान और निकोबार द्वीप समूह ऊपर ही रहता है। पर्यटक तो सामान्य तौर पर पोर्ट ब्लेयर, हैवलॉक, नील, रॉस, नॉर्थ बे, जॉली बे, बाराटांग आइलैंड तक ही जाते हैं। इनमें से भी हर कोई हर जगह नहीं जाता। ट्रेकर और घुमक्कड़ इन द्वीपों से अलग नॉर्...
