General Tips: It's great just to cruise around!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Riding the small boats and eating fruit makes for a great morning! You can see the sign in the picture about the Grape Festival coming up. But we missed it! We were a couple days early.

  • Fondest Memory: This isn'st my fondest memory but it is something that stuck in my head!
    It was a nice calm morning listening to nothing but the chatter of the Market ladies and chickens until this guy came along with his extra loud motor!

    General Tips: Local Boats
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Check out the motor on the Long Tail Boat. They are car motors mounted on the boats. They are loud too. But they are a cool Thailand tradition. My son wanted my to build one when we came home. I prefered the paddle boats while cruising the canals of Damnoen Saduak. They were so peaceful.

    General Tips: Beautiful Morning!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Make sure you arrive early if you want some peace and quiet! I've talked to people that have gone later. Later is fine but if you go early you will feel like you've just discovered Damnoen Saduak for the first time! It is a wonderful experience.

    General Tips: Drydock
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: I guess when the boats aren't being used they locals pull the boats out of the water. I saw these boat racks at many of the homes near the canals.

    General Tips: Local Homes
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The local homes that are near the canals are on stilts. I haven't visited the area during the rainy season so I'm not sure but I'm guessing there are floods in the area.

    General Tips: The canals
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The canals seemed so calm as our boat cut its way through the water. Our boat paddler was a lady and she would call out to her friends as we passed by. She was probably saying "I've got a couple of suckers here" but she paddled us around and didn't drag us anywhere we didn't want to go!

    General Tips: More cruising
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: You can see alot of the boats will be decorated in some sort of offering of flowers. You can see the stern of the boat in the middle of the picture has flowers on it.

     Enjoy reading your tips and pictures. I guess you went there really early and it was less crowded. I went on a weekend during peak hours... it was packed with tourists. Wish I had gone as early as you did.
