- Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi is one of the most popular floating markets in Thailand. Every day many Thai and foreign tourists travel here to shop, eat, and absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years.Klong Damnoen Saduak Damnoen Saduak is the straightest and longest canal in Thailand. The canal was built on royal initiative as King Rama IV of Thailand wanted to link the Mae Klong River with Chinese river ways to support transportation and trade. It took over 2 years to dig, and was eventually finished under the reign of his successor King Rama V. The canal is 32 kilometers long and has more than 200 branches.Damnoen Saduak Floating Market’s popularity grew to new heights in 1971 – 1973 when the river was full of farmers on their boats selling their wares. And that is the way trade is performed in this area until todays.

Highly Recommend this Trip - A very enjoyable experience. We went on a private tour with a guide (Nutty) and driver which was perfect for an intimate experience. Nutty was an excellent guide. She shared information about Thai culture and history along the way, and just the right amount. Although Nutty stayed with us when we went to the markets, she allowed us to explore without imposing herself too much. The boat trip along the canal was about 25 minutes which was perfect and our time in the market was spot on. Stopping at the coconut farm on the way home was a lovely surprise, and very interesting. The drive from Bangkok to the floating market was long (nearly 2hours), but well worth it. An excellent trip all round thanks to Nutty (and our driver)!

Good value and Educational - The tour was educational and good value for the cost.
The floating market itself, I find, is very commercial and geared for tourists.

Not bad - The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was a unique experience that was exciting at first and made for great pictures, but felt too much like a tourist trap after a while. The food and items being sold in the market were all the same: pad thai, mango w sticky rice, etc., which didn't even taste that good. Overall, I would say this was an OK experience and do not feel particularly thrilled to revisit this place.

Long way to go for not very much - Enjoyed the market itself and boat trip. Excellent selection of local food. It is a tourist attraction not a proper market.
Downside is a very long journey. In our case with a full bus with no air conditioning so that temperatures got to 39 degrees and an unnecessary stop at a ‘coconut factory’ on the way home

Meeting time is too early! - The floating market was a play of colors, sounds and Thai culture. But the tour has more things to improve on:
- call time is too early. we were picked up at 630am from our hotel but the tour started at 730 from River City, so we had around 45mins of waiting time.
- the tour could have started at 8am then went straight to the floating market instead of stopping by a coconut farm (that looked like a tourist trap) for 45mins. We got to the floating market around 10am and spent only 1.5h there.
- the tour guide and driver talked non-stop in the van the whole time! They were noisy!
- the van was bumpy & the driver drove so fast

Very poor management - I booked the tour but Viator cancelled it due to lack of places and there is no way to get a reply regarding the payment.
I still have not recieved the money back
