説明板: The Floating markets were part of the traditional way of life of communities along the riverbanks of Siam. The Ancient City's floating market recreates the structures and landscape of the past, with the aim of revealing their underlying meaning. A long canal was excavated and the architecture of an old community re-established, especially the homes and shop houses along the river bank. Visitors will see a Buddhist temple, a Chinese shrine, a Christian church and an old Muslim masjid settled harmoniously among traditional Thai style houses, large and small, all reflecting the simple beauty of folk wisdom. A pavilioned pier and a bridge link both banks, allowing visitors to explore further. The floating market allows visitors to experience the atmosphere of a peaceful Thai community which welcomes visitors from all walks of life, regardless of race, nationality or religion. The pleasant society along the waterway celebrates mankind's ability to live together in peace and harmony.
