Floating market is a traditional market where all activities are carried out on water or by boat. The unique and distinctive floating market atmosphere is to jostle between large and small boats. They are looking for mutual buyers and sellers who are always milling around the river.

 

Interestingly, in this floating market there is still a barter method between traders. There are no merchant organizations, so the number of those who trading on the river are countless. They came to sell and disperse themselves immediately when the morning sun began to blaze.
