Anyone travelling to the Far East this spring might want to head to Thailand for an unforgettable experience alongside Bangkok's floating bazaars.

The Damoen Saduak region of Thailand is close to the country's capital and is well-known for its water-borne market trading but in March the local canals are even more lively than usual.

Women from the surrounding countryside bring their goods to market, while a variety of boating contests and demonstrations of how Thai food has been cooked for generations take place on and around the water.

Of course, as one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, near-by Bangkok has plenty to offer European travelers, including a wealth of cultural heritage and all the trappings of a modern Asian metropolis.

There are now close to eight million people living in and around Bangkok and the Thai capital continues to attract British visitors throughout the year.
