Experience the infinite charms of a floating market, synonymous with life in Bangkok, with this comprehensive tour of the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
Our day begins with a panoramic drive through the countryside of Ratchaburi province, a carnival of emerald rice paddies and shimmering salt fields. Get a taste of Bangkok’s suburban life and exquisite natural beauty while treating your eyes to some of Nature’s best spectacles before landing up at the jetty, here, we will embark on our thrilling long-tail speedboat ride along the Damnoen canal to the floating market. Along the way, make a quick stop to visit a traditional Thai house, where you can see locals making brown coconut sugar.
Arrive at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, the country’s most popular one, to marvel at its incredible array of handicrafts and local produce stall. It’s astonishing how the entire market manages to capture a bygone way of life with hawkers selling wares on boats and floating stalls set on stilts as well as a sense of cosmopolitanism with tourists from around the world. Indulge in an incredible paddle boat experience to cruise through the market - the vibe is infectiously gleeful to say the least that literally makes you want to stay here forever!
You will have an hour to explore the market, so if you want, try some authentic Thai foods, such as Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, Boat Noodles or Coconut Ice Cream sold along the canal. Meet up with your guide to head back to the meeting point in Bangkok.
