Photo Of The Day: Venice Of The East
In travel media, we hear a lot of city comparisons: Ljubljana is the new Prague. Shanghai aims to be the Paris of the East. Looking at today's Photo of the Day, you'll think, "Wow, that looks like Venice. But in the East!" Taken by Flickr user Ver Argulla in western Thailand, the photo shows the floating market of Damnoen Saduak. Its proximity to Bangkok has made it a big tourist attraction, and while it may have lost its authenticity as a market for locals to grow and sell food, it still makes for a stunning photo.
Show us the next Rome of the North, and add your travel photos to the Gadling Flickr pool for the next Photo of the Day.

Venice is a city like no other. It is still remains one of the most romantic, lovely and interesting places left in the world. http://www.backcountrynavigator.com/
