Wajib disinggahi
Subur berkat perairan Chao Phraya,
sebagian besar Bang Krachao dikelilingi
hutan bakau, sementara interiornya
berselubung hutan lebat. Pengendara
sepeda bisa melintasi jaringan jalan
beton elevasi, yang menjadi akses
bagi warga lokal yang tinggal di
sekumpulan rumah satu lantai
di bawah kanopi hutan lebat.
“Pengendara sepeda di Bang Krachao
pada akhir pekan wajib singgah di
Bang Nam Pheung,” kata Patricia.
“Tidak seperti kebanyakan pasar
Bangkok lainnya, pasar terapung
ini bukan tempat wisata—nuansanya
benar-benar masih autentik. Penduduk
pulau dan penduduk Bangkok datang
membeli produk lokal murah
setiap minggu.”
