The heaving souks of Marrakech hit all your senses at once – the smell of spices mixing with the shouts of vendors and the vibrant colours of the goods.
Inle Lake’s local market

Flowers in the air
Bangkok’s flower markets are a 24 hour affair, where professionals and visitors can pick up some of the freshest produce in the country. Full of colour!
