In Bangkok, a hotbed of Asian business and tourism, an interesting tradition flourishes. Along the citys canals are vendors of every imaginable ware all traveling in tiny boats. Weaving in and out of river traffic, merchants vie for attention in a bustling economy. One woman prepares fresh tea from her floating cafe. Another dishes up a quick and delicious meal. A wide variety of farm fresh tropical produce is readily available. Its no wonder this delightful bit of Thai culture is often called the Venice of the East.
