Traditional Hat On A Boat

Female oarsman in Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

The female oarsman was rowing a boat in Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Shot in Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand.

In spite of the quietness, some boats were running the canal on which the water market was open. It was hard to feel the bustling atmosphere of a local market because it was a dead season.

Like other many markets in Southeastern Asian countries, I could see many women working here. They did even though the job requiring heavy lifting. The women were also good workers here.

I thought it was a kind of heavy lifting to roll a wooden boat seen on the canal. Some boats were motorized. Yet I saw also many rowing boats here. And it was often seen that the female oarsman was rolling the boat.

A female oarsman also sat on the edge of the boat in this photo. She wore a traditional hat and grabbed a wooden oar in her hands.
