Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Tour from Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a must-see on any itinerary from Bangkok. Experience the traditional Thai way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables, and other goods from wooden boats on the canals. Travel there by vehicle and boat, with about 1.5 hours to spend at the market. Round-trip hotel transport is included.

After you're picked up from your Bangkok hotel, board your tour vehicle and travel west to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located 68 miles (110 km) from Bangkok. The rural drive takes you past rice paddies and salt fields. En route, visit a farmhouse and see how sugar is produced from coconuts.

Your tour continues with a 30-minute speedboat ride past fruit plantations and Thai-style houses that showcase a traditional way of life along the riverbanks. Arriving at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, observe wooden boats overflowing with flowers and fresh produce, which vendors sell to people on shore. Let your guide know if you'd like to hire a small boat for a closer look, or try your hand at bargaining with local merchants.

After roughly 1.5 hours here, you'll make the return journey to Bangkok where your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.
