Visiting The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
During our short stay in 🌆 Bangkok a few seasons ago, we tried to see as many sites as possible. One such place and certainly worth the visit, is to the …
🥢 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
With only a few days in the city, it was difficult to choose which places see, of the many wonderful sites of Bangkok. Visiting a traditional Floating Market was an easy decision and a “Must Do” for us.
One of the highlights of this tour, was leaving our 🚌 mini tour van close to the Market, and stepping into a traditional longboat.
Taking a ride down the canals to the floating market was an awesome experience!
Check out my very short amateur 📹video of our riverboat adventure, giving you an idea what the canals and way of life on the water is like, for many Thai people.

Traditional Long Boat To Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
This fun and interesting ride offers a glimpse of authentic Thai living, for those locals with homes and living on the banks of the river canals.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is the oldest and largest in this region and really is a must see, for those wanting to experience a touch of; Thailand’s true history and culture.
Located about 1 ½ hours from the City of Bangkok, this half day tour to the market and river, was definitely worth the time. It is certainly a sight to 👀 see!
Below, are a few of our own travel 📸 photographs, taken while on our half day tour from the city.

This was definitely a worthwhile half day trip that was very affordable and perhaps,

Bangkok Floating Market – Travel Tips
Here are a few helpful tips if you and your family are considering taking a tour to a Floating Market while in Bangkok:
✔ I recommend the half day early morning tour to the Floating Market.
The drive is long, days are hot and humid. An early tour will have you back to your hotel just after lunch.
✔ If you love authentic Thai food, there plenty to sample from the boat and vendors at the market. If not, I suggest bringing along some of your own snacks for the trip.
✔ Do not forget your camera!
✔ It gets very crowded particularly at the Damnoen Saduak market, so expect a large crowds, in a small space, at times.
✔ There is plenty of souvenir shopping as the market has become very commercial, but remember you are helping to support the locals in the area.
✔ Above all, relax, enjoy the experience and have fun!
