bamboo raft

River float craft

A bamboo raft is a simple watercraft made by lashing bamboo poles together into a flat, buoyant platform.

Used for fishing, river transport, and tourism in Southeast Asia and other regions where bamboo grows abundantly: We floated down the Li River on a bamboo raft.

The natural buoyancy and availability of bamboo make these rafts practical and inexpensive.
