Boat Ride Through Floating Market in Ratchaburi
#awesomepic #visitthailand #friendstrip
You should try this floating market experince at least once when you are in Thailand. Yes, there probably some seller trying to set a higher price for tourist but it’s an experience that you’ll hardly experience again. If you are a person with good negotation skills, you can definitely try asking for some better price. I noticed that most of the stall busy selling traditional handicraft, light snacks, local foods but of course there were also many other options as well. Back to my own experience, apart of shopping from our boat, we were also able to step out of our boat and take a quick visit at this temple, Wat Charoen. You could check the maps on the whole market and discuss with the boat owner if you could stop on some spot for quick visit. Just keep in mind that the boat are rent by hour.

Float along Damnoen Saduak with Trip.com 🛶
I booked a day trip to the floating market and the train market through trip.com. We booked for a private transfer to both markets. We were picked up from our hotel at 9am and taken to both. Our driver spoke good English and was also very kind and helpful. He made sure we were comfortable and shared a lot of information with us about both markets.
The floating market was super busy (we arrived around 11:30). We were taken to the boats and driven along the canals until we reached the shopping area.
If you want to stop and look at the stores, you need to speak up! The same goes for food and drinks. Otherwise you’ll float along without the chance to see much. 🤭
Note that most stores have similar items to sell and the price is higher, but it is on the water, and there are many tourists. You can use your bargaining skills to barter with the store owners.
We didn’t get the chance, but you can also get off the boat along the canals and eat at local restaurants there! #mytravelhacks #trip #thailand #thailandtravel #floatingmarket #holidayvacation #bangkok
Is it worth to visit Thai floating markets?
First of all is important to know that when You go to Bangkok there are many floating markets. The famous one is called Damnoen Saduak, It takes around 1.5 hours to get by car.
Is worth to spend around 2 hours and if possible rent a boat to bring You inside the market and have a full experience of It. But if You prefer also can just walk around the market, all site are accessible by walking.
If You rent a car is important to know that the drivers might try to bring You to some different area from this market and try to sell You another market activity saying that the market can not be acceded by walking. If It happens just show Him the map where You wanna go and tell Him that before come You had searched about It and You know how it works!
By the way is a nice activity to know more about the local culture and old costumes.

#celebratewithtrip
Damnoen Saduak is one of the most popular floating markets around Bangkok. It has a lot of amazing things to look forward to, from shopping to dining and strolling around. Because of this, it is explored by many locals and tourists every year.
My visit to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was truly memorable and enjoyable because of the great selection of fresh finds, local foods, and unique items.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market truly makes up for a great Bangkok day trip. This is such a famous floating market because of the vast number of locals doing business on wooden boats.
For a fun and unforgettable trip you have to go there for yourself
🇹🇭 Floating market Damnoen Saduak
One of the floating markets in Bangkok is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. I used a private driver for this day trip because I needed to drive more than an hour to reach this floating market. Back in the days in Thailand, floating markets were common for daily activities and also known as “Venice of the East”. It is important to keep your belongings waterproof to prevent any accidents. Also, try to have some small notes ready to pay the vendors. I will suggest you have a friend with you so that you can concentrate on taking photos while your friend does the buying and paying the vendors.

Damoen Saduak floating market
#asiatrip
Damnoen Saduak floating Market in Ratchaburi is one of the most popular floating markets in Thailand. Every day many Thai and foreign tourists travel here to shop, eat, and absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years. Klong Damnoen Saduak Damnoen Saduak is the straightest and longest canal in Thailand. The canal was built on royal initiative as King Rama IV of Thailand wanted to link the Mae Klong River with Chinese river ways to support transportation and trade. It took over 2 years to dig, and was eventually finished under the reign of his successor King Rama V. The canal is 32 kilometers long and has more than 200 branches
Open: 7:00am - 5:00pm

Damnoen Saduak Food Trail
Getting There - Guided tour with car / taxi
Attractions - Shopping at the floating market via a boat
Hotels - N.A
Food & Restaurants - Great noodles, coconut ice cream, grilled pork
Shopping - Souvenirs are quite overpriced at up to 300% more. Be prepared to haggle especially when they know you're not a local. Don't be afraid to walk away or ask that your boat be released if you get a bad deal.
Overall for my first visit here, it was sad to see how quiet the pandemic has made this market due to a lack of stores open.
However, it's also presented a great opportunity to explore without the crowds with an off the track experience available from visiting the old market where there's a more rustic and authentic experience with the community.
This is a must go for a tourist in Bangkok. Its an experience of Bangkok outskirt. Being a regular tourist in Bangkok, this one off experience is worth the time. Plenty of food priced reasonably. As for goods and local products, its kind of pricey.

Shopping at the floating market
There are various floating markets in Thailand from the one in the city to the one outside of Bangkok and the one we went to called Damnoen Saduak Floating market, one of the biggest floating market in Thailand. It took around 2 hours from Bangkok by bus. It has always been one of the experiences that I wanted to try if I ever visited Thailand. I'm sure you have heard of the floating market and like its name it means the market is floating on the water. So first, you begin your journey by taking an excited boat ride through various water canals before reaching the market. The market vendors are on the water or on a boat, and you can shop and experience the market as you ride the boat along the canals. Nevertheless the price of the food there is kinda pricy so beware if you decide to visit 😉. We went on this trip by booking from the tour we found in trips.com. It was an easy way to book and find the right location to go. #familytrip #thailandtrip #floatingmarket #shoppingexperience

It’s like a new travelling experience to Bangkok after covid and a couple of visit before - things have changed but this oriental city remains vibrantly energetic, colourful and creative! Appreciate the fresh ideas and innovative displays here. It’s also charming to a historical and cultural lover how the decedents of Thai-Chinese have been living here for some generations and for sure this will go on #bangkok #maeklongrailwaymarket #Damnoenfloatingmarket #ancientcity #siam #ayuttaya #thonburi #Rama #Thaichinese #thaimassage #thaimassage #thaifood #thaicuisine #tomyum #boatnoodle #pandancake
Bangkok niche check-in place, this floating market is super distinctive.
When traveling to Bangkok, in addition to experiencing the bustling international metropolis, you must visit 1-2 local characteristic markets!
There are several floating markets in Bangkok. After considering factors such as fun, photogenic rate, and transportation, we chose [Danen Sado Floating Market].
.
📍Danen Sado Floating Market
🎫Free
🚗About 100km from downtown Bangkok
.
✅Transportation Guide
▪️Because it is far from downtown Bangkok, it is generally recommended to take a chartered car or join a tour group.
▪️If you are traveling independently, it is more troublesome. You can take a train + ferry + train + taxi. It is recommended to play with the Maeklong Railway Market together. One day is just right, but you must strictly control the time!
✔️We chose a local group tour of Maeklong + Danen Sado for a day, so we don't have to worry about transportation
💰About 180r per person
.
✅Shopping and Photography Guide
🚣 When you come to the floating market, you must experience shopping on the water!
❶There are two types of boats: hand-paddled boats and motorboats. Each boat can accommodate 4-5 people.
❷Hand-paddled boat 1000 baht/boat; motorboat 400 baht/person, starting from 4 people.
❸Highly recommend hand-paddled boats, which are more comfortable and not too noisy!
❹If you are traveling independently, remember to bargain!
❺When the boat passes by various stalls, you can stop when you see something you want to buy
🛍️Local snacks, handicrafts, etc. are sold here, and the prices are cheaper than downtown Bangkok, but more expensive than Maeklong.
📸After taking the boat, you can walk around the market
❻The observation deck by the water and the bridge are higher, which are more suitable for taking photos.
❼You can check in at the iconic location at the entrance of the market

Bangkok was known as a small trading center and port community on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River about 200 years ago. Today, although it can be called a modern city that is very up to date, the grandeur and luxury of its past history are still very much felt. Start your journey by visiting Wat Arun or commonly known by Bangkok residents as Wat Chaeng. Located west of Thonburi on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. This is one of the most stunning temples in Bangkok, not only because of its location on the riverbank, but also because its design is very different from other temples. Wat Arun (temple of dawn) consists partly of colorful towers that stand majestically on the water.
Don't forget to stop by the Grand Palace & Wat Prakeaw. The floating market in Damnoen Saduak is one of the spots that you must visit. Various types of food are sold here; from fresh tropical fruits and vegetables, ready-to-drink coconut water and local food cooked from a floating kitchen directly on the boat! Chatuchak Weekend Market is one of the must-visit places for those of you who like shopping. This market houses more than 8,000 small stalls. On weekends, more than 200,000 visitors come here to shop. Tired of walking all day, don't forget to taste Pad Thai, Tom Yum, or the typical Thai dessert: Mango with Sticky Rice.
Very good hotel and so cute.
Great hotel and so cute
