Customer Reviews
The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is Thailand’s most famous floating market, located about 100 km southwest of Bangkok. Vendors sell fruits, vegetables, Thai snacks, and souvenirs from wooden boats along scenic canals. It’s colorful, lively, and we especially enjoyed the 30-minute longtail boat ride to Lao Tuk Luck market. Foodstuff may still be reasonably priced, but but souvenirs and other merchandise may not be. Overall an experience not to be missed!
⭐ Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. A Full Day Thai Adventure That’s Touristy, Pricey… and Absolutely Worth It Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Our day started early in the morning at the famous Khao San Road in Bangkok. Around 9:00 AM, the area was still quiet and sleepy, which is exactly when a local approached us offering a tour to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Yes this kind of approach is usually considered a tourist trap. And yes we would do it again without hesitation. Why? Because this is Thailand: fun, friendly, relatively affordable and full of incredible sights, culture, and art. We were told the floating market is about 1.5 hours from Bangkok, and the plan made sense: go early while Khao San is quiet, then return in the evening when it’s alive and buzzing. We were also told it was the last open day before a traditional holiday, which added a bit of urgency. We did the math, jumped into the taxi with a dedicated driver, and went for it. When we arrived, we reached a small area filled with tour and boat agents. This is where the real catch appeared: the wooden motorboat with a private driver costs 4,000 THB (about $130 total). After a long drive, turning back wasn’t really an option and honestly, it didn’t feel like a big deal. Once on the boat, the experience truly began. The floating market is huge, with a maze of canals, boats, vendors, food stalls, souvenirs, and daily life happening right on the water. Most of the tour is done from inside the boat, with occasional stops to get off and explore certain spots. Important to know: • Prices are higher than regular Bangkok markets • Vendors can be very aggressive • Our boat driver often stopped near stalls claiming they belonged to family or friends • Bargaining is essential don’t be shy You can’t see everything in one day, so you’ll need to choose additional attractions wisely: long neck village, temples, elephants, tigers, and more. Practical tips: • Wear long sleeves (strong sun all day) • Bring water, a hat, and sunscreen • Expect heat, crowds, and sensory overload Bottom line: It was beautiful, intense, unique, and unforgettable. We spent almost a full day on the water and would absolutely do it again. Returning to Khao San Road in the evening now vibrant and alive. We finished the day with an amazing Pad Thai and more shopping. We love Thailand 🇹🇭
very amazing and qonderful experience for me and my friends. it shows the creting snd enterprising spirit of Thai people. the ride was safe comfortable and relaxing. the scenry of the nature and the stalls was most unique. I glad to join this tour.
