I had a couple of stamps dedicated to 50th anniversary of state visit of queen and king of Thailand to Pakistan and i thought that it would be very nice to send a postcard with this stamp to someone in Thailand. So i contacted several people and some of them liked my idea. Glen was one of those people and kindly agreed to swap with me. That's how i got this postcard.
The floating market in Rajburi. I have other postcards of this market but non of them looks so nice. It's all because of the water that looks like a liquid gold.
Glen also wrote that Bangkok used to be crisscrosed by many canals like the one on the postcard and so gained the name "Venice of the East" But today most have been filled in and converted into streets. My home town Saint Petersburg is sometimes called "The Venice of the North")))
