The famous floating market in Thailand, Damnoen Saduak or locally known as Klong Latphli Floating Market, is located about 110km west of Bangkok. Hundreds of vendor boats crowd the market area, mostly paddled by women in Thai style hats called NGOP, selling everything from vegetables and fruits to wooden carvings, clothes, hats and handbags, to freshly-cooked noodles or sweets.

This bridge showcases the magnificent architecture of what steel can do. From any angle, bottom or top view, its design elements are aesthetically pleasing. It is perhaps one of the most photographed bridges in Putrajaya, overlooking the lake and the government official buildings in the area.

Kampung life at Sekinchan
|
|
|
This is the home of the padi farmer and his family. A simple, Malay kampung house made of wood with a zinc roof. That's his tractor parked upfront. He also plants his own crops of vegetables, and rears chickens. There's not much entertainment here for his children, so they usually hang around the front yard playing their own games.
