    Paddle through the floating market and keep an eye out for souvenirs, traditional handmade toys, silverware, textiles, fresh fruits and vegetables, and Thai delicacies and snacks prepared by locals. You can even try some crocodile satay, or BBQ crocodile, if you have the stomach for it! In the afternoon, cultural shows such as sea boxing and dancing occur in different parts of the market, which you can enjoy. For some pampering, you can even get a traditional Thai head, foot, or facial massage before you continue exploring the magic of Pattaya.
