Prachuab Khiri Khan - Hua Hin Floating Markets

Two retrostyle attractions of the "floating market" type opened last year near Hua Hin as if this country needs more fake history and more shopping venues. In Hua Hin, the new markets are miles from the nearest river, but that does not seem to detract from their attraction of being places to take "cute" snapshots and buy tacky souvenirs. 

That these markets were opened only a few kilometers from each other is a bit of a mystery from a competition perspective, but the explanation must be that they are located where land was available. The floating markets are located in a rural area on what used to be pineapple fields. The pineapple fields surrounding the markets are still dry reminders of how fake the floating markets are.
