Bangkok Things to Do Tips by sightseeing

Paid 800baht per person to the travel agent for bringing us to Damnoen Saduak floating market from hotel.

Price include: tour guide, minivan transfer, ‘James Bond’ motor boat/ long tail boat), de-tour to wood carving centre
Not inclusive: meal, small paddled canoe in the market (150baht per person for 30 minutes), elephant riding (600baht per person, 30 minutes), cobra show (200 baht per person for 30 minutes show)

Reminder: don’t buy souvenirs while on the river, don’t even care to ask the price!!! There are more choices and better price on the ground (ground market along the river)!!!
The seller will tug the canoe towards their ‘floating shop’ using a hook!! If u’ve asked the price when riding on the canoe, started bargaining and dun wanna buy the thing, don’t tell them you have no Thai Baht, they’ll bring u to the ‘floating money exchange centre’, and bring u back to the seller!!
And if u still doesn’t buy from the seller, you’ll be asked to get off the boat and walk!
in short, dun buy souvenirs on the canoe!

They are just so rude!! I dun like them…you should just buy fruits and food in the market, not souvenirs!!
