Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Bangkok, Thailand
There are at least a dozen floating markets in and around Bangkok. Yet every tourist wants to hit the same one: Damnoen Saduak.
曼谷周边至少有一打类似的水上市场,但是所有游客都只想去这一个:Damnoen Saduak。
It used to be a legitimate place for locals to enjoy some boat noodles or shop for produce and knickknacks. Today, thanks to every tour company in the world pushing it on tourists, it's about as authentic as that pack of Viagra for sale in a back soi on Sukhumvit Road.
这里最初只是当地人合法地吃碗面或者买点小饰品的地方,但现在,在各家旅行社的大肆鼓吹之下,这里几乎变成了像素坤逸路(泰国主要公路)背街出售的伟哥一样的东西。
And be ready to duck. Things can get dangerous when boat drivers raise their long boat propellers out of the water to navigate through canal traffic jams.
还得做好落水的准备。当船夫们举起长长的船桨试图通过交通拥堵的运河时,危险随时可能降临。
