Bangkok’s Floating Market: Family Sightseeing Tour

Floating Market

Pick fresh fruits and eat lip-smacking local cuisine at the famous Damnoen Saduak floating markets


Overview

The quaint and very distinctive Floating Market or Damnoen Saduak in Bangkok’s Ratchaburi province typifies the quintessential image of Thailand - wooden canoes laden with multi-coloured fruits and vegetables and paddled by Thai women wearing indigo-hued clothes and wide-brimmed straw hats.

At the Floating Market, the timeless lifestyle of native Thai people can be observed along the canals. It is amazing to see the ease at which these competitive vendors paddle their boats even when eager, early-morning tourists crowd the river. These vendors sell everything from fruit to silk dresses and earthenware. Modern Thailand may have other trading systems but the Market continues to brim with life. The smell of fresh fruits and Thai food cooking on the boats is sure to whet the appetite!

Offering a glimpse into the traditional Thai way of trading, Thailand’s Floating Market at Damnoen Saduak is an ideal trip for the entire family to enjoy.
