bangkok floating market

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Bangkok Floating Markets

Short and Easy
Famous tourist site
Local food and snacks
Family friendly
Floating markets are like living museums where you can immerse in the local culture and way of life as it once was before the arrival of global consumerism. Well on the tourist trail, a trip to the Damnoen Saduak floating market will be a highlight of your trip to Bangkok.
Totally lively and somewhat chaotic, small 'khlongs' or canals are filled with flat boats piled high with fresh produce, each jockeying for position and paddled by ladies ready to stop and bargain at a moment’s notice. It's colourful, noisy, touristy but great fun. During the long-tail boat ride to market, you’ll pass orchards, traditional teak houses and local people going about their lives. You'll also visit Nakorn Pathom town, site of the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia.
