R Rajesh is R Correspondent in Thailand

Our Marketing guy R Rajesh was seconded to Pepsico's Asia Region Headquarter in Bangkok as Beverage Platform Director. Rajesh is an enthusiastic shutterbug and regularly delights his colleagues with unflattering mugshots of them.

He now shares these pictures of Bangkok’s famous floating market. Rajesh seems to be on the verge of discovering a new platform for sale of Lays. Hey Rajesh! Go ahead and strike a deal!!
Have a sneak view of Bangkok’s most popular floating market – Damnoen Saduak. The Thai name for Bangkok is Krung Thep Maha Nakhon

Rajesh shares :

"The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is
located about 105 kms from Bangkok. The excellent quality of soil beside the
canal makes it suitable for growing many kinds of fruits and vegetables. The
area is famous for Malacca grape, Chinese grapefruit, mangoes, bananas, and
coconut.

Here one can see the traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables, etc., from small boats. A boat-ride along the canal is a great way to see the traditional Thai houses and the way they live and conduct their daily lives by boats.

The sheer hustle and bustle in the early morning as the sellers spread their wares and buyers jostle for a good bargain and the tourists crane their necks for a good shot makes it one of the “not-to-be-missed” attractions of Thailand !!"
