Thailand: Floating Market

On our last morning in Bangkok we drove south to visit the floating market.  There are a TON of markets in the Bangkok area but this is one on water.  We rented a boat of our own and were off to explore.
People were selling everything a tourist could ever want, including food!  they would chop, cook and serve food from their little boats.
These were all over the place. Brent wouldn't believe that they were coconuts until the last day when he said "Those really ARE coconut!"  I just said "What do you think I have been telling you."
Can you believe how excited this manequin is?
This is such a great picture to show you what is on display.  Look at all those yummy fruits!
While on the canal, boats would ram into you and get totally stuck.  It was so congested.  
Once we finished our shopping, which wasn't much since every single vendor had the same items that we had been seeing all week, we went off to find some food.  Here is what we found.  It looks dirty, unsanitary, questionable but it was SO SO SO DELICIOUS!  We both had Pad Thai and it was so good that Brent ordered a second meal to eat in the car.  
Don't worry we didn't get sick, but we both kinda thought we might. After we finished at the floating market we packed up and headed to the airport for a trip to the Islands of Thailand!
