Why are there so many floating markets in Thailand?

Thailand's floating culture boasts a long history. Before modern technology, people chose to settle along rivers rather than clearing dense rainforests. Notably, in Thailand, where wealth disparity is significant, rivers are not privately owned, allowing even the less fortunate to start businesses without paying fees. Additionally, floating houses offer a cooler living environment than land-based homes due to the tropical climate. These factors likely contributed to the development of Thailand's unique floating culture. Don't miss the chance to experience their way of life firsthand at the Pattaya Floating Market!
