Bangkok: Floating Market Tour with Transfers

Description

Discover Thailand's famous canal-side trading culture on a full-day excursion from Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi Province. Travel comfortably from your Bangkok hotel in a private air-conditioned vehicle and head southwest toward the market, located approximately 100 km from central Bangkok.

Arrive in the morning when the waterways are at their liveliest and board a traditional boat for a journey through the market's narrow canals. Watch vendors selling tropical fruits, local snacks, cooked food and souvenirs directly from wooden boats and canal-side stalls. The market is best experienced early, with the first few hours generally offering the most activity.

After the boat ride, explore the land-based market, sample Thai snacks, browse local products and photograph the colourful canals. The tour can also be upgraded to include a visit to the nearby Maeklong Railway Market, creating a combined southwestern Bangkok day trip.
