History:

A sampan boat (thuyen tam ban) is a relatively flat-bottomed Vietnamese / Chinese/ South East Asia wooden boat. Some sampan boats include a small shelter on board and may be used as a permanent habitation on inland waters. Sampans are generally used for transportation in coastal areas or rivers and are often used as traditional fishing boats.
