Visit the Biggest Floating Market of Thailand in a half a day tour.

Take this tour to get a glimpse of everyday life on the water in Thailand. Cruise along the Bangkok canals in a narrow, long-tailed motorized boat towards the Damnoen Saduak floating market, where you will see local vendors in their Thai style canoes, laden with colorful fruits, and vegetables, gently plying their way through the canals looking to sell their goods.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Stop and see the fabrication process of coconut sugar, taste the natural candies. Enjoy the wild orchil presentation
2.
Drive through the salt fields of Samut Sakhon province
3.
Following a morning pickup from your Bangkok city hotel (except non-refundable rate) meet your guide and travel out by air-conditioned coach to the Damnoen Saduak floating markets. Located a 2-hour drive southwest of Bangkok, the markets sit on a canal waterway created by King Rama IV in the 19th century to promote trade and development outside the capital. Today, they’re widely considered one of Bangkok’s top attractions and offer valuable insight into traditional Thai culture and traditions. On arrival at Damnoen Saduak, hop aboard a long-tailed speedboat with your guide for an exciting ride through the marshes and stilt-houses to the markets. Once there, listen to a brief introduction from your guide and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Marvel at the colorful fruits, vegetables, sweets, meats and souvenirs on display and take time to capture the market scenery on camera. Watch the traders and customers going about their daily business on this bustling and vibrant part of the canal, and perhaps purchase some fruit or souvenirs for yourself (own expense). Take a ride on a local boat (optional extra, payable locally) through the maze of traditional canoes and soak up the market atmosphere out on the water. When your time at the Damnoen Saduak floating markets is up, cruise back to your coach and hop back aboard for the return journey to your Bangkok, where your tour will come to an end.

A spectacular visit that cannot be missed in Bangkok.
Very curious to see that way of selling and buying.
There is food, clothing and souvenirs.
I recommend visiting by long-tail rowing boat (not motorized).

Took a taxi from Bangkok. Took two hours. To get to the destination.
It was an expensive two hours boat ride in the market. It was almost 100 USD per person. Market was not floating at all.

To flee ……. Except for wasting time and money
The only positive point is the small boat when it leaves the market and puts on the gas.

Absolutely terrible tour. We drove 1.5 hours outside of Bangkok (which was not in the description) and the guide was silent the entire ride. He even fell asleep. We stopped first at a hut on the side of the road and were shown how they make brown sugar, which was interesting. Then we were brought to an elephant/tiger farm, which was not in the description of the tour either. We were essentially forced to spend more money on an experience there. It also really did not feel safe. We then finally went to the floating market. The tour description says that the boat is included in the price, but it was not. We had to pay extra to actually get in the boat for the market. When I asked the tour guide what we actually paid for on Viator, he said transportation. That is NOT a tour!!! Very deceiving. You are also asked of any food allergies beforehand, insinuating that you will be given some food. But you are not. Again, you must pay extra. Nothing was included in this tour. Total sham

Absolutely total rip off horrific toxic fume filled experience. If you want to spend the worst time of your life then waste your money on this. £40 for 1 hour on a diesel powered long boat trawling stenching canal water with people trying to sell you mass produced tourist trash...then barge your way through a diesel fumed long boat traffic jam for an hour...burning your eyes and swelling your tongue. A disgrace. TripAdvisor for health and safety reasons please do not promote this experience. There were families with young children crying and babies in arms with parents trying to protect thier young from the toxic hell... A disgrace to describe this experience anything but horrific.

Worth a visit, but far from being the best in South East Asia .. compare to Mekong Delta, Insle Lake in Myanmar…

I see many mixed reviews about this trip. We are a couple late 50s and travelled quite a lot. We still found this worthwhile. Go early!!! To avoid loads of people. Try a private or small group not bus loads which are horrid. Yes it is touristy but the history and going around was still fun. Coconut ice cream yum. Barter 50% off everything.

Don't waste 4 hours drive, 3,000baht for boat that takes you around man made klong, passing exorbitant shops on river Bank that try to get you to spend £75 for a t shirt and copy sunglasses, which you can buy outside your hotel for about £4. What a waste of a day for Dougie and Jeanette and myself , absolute scheisse.
