Visit thai floating market


Floating Market



The (Damnoen Saduak)Floating Market, is about 110 kms west of Bangkok. This floating market is a very attractive place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables,among others from small boats. This trip will also take you to see traditional Thai houses, the way they live and travel by boats along the canals.

Visiting a floating market can be a way of doing some shopping for some gifts to your family back home and at the same time experience this busy colourful spectacle, local traders going on their business on the water. You can go on an organised trip, many travel agents will have packages for this. The best of the floating markets is Damnoen saduak which is about 2 hours drive but it is quicker to get their also by boat.
