The most popular floating market in Thailand

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Damnoen Saduak is the most famous and popular floating market near Bangkok. It is actually located in a nearby province of Samut Songkhram south of Bangkok. It is about 90 minutes to get here from the city. Due to its popularity, this floating market is very crowed and touristy. However, it is one of THE thing to see and do in Thailand. So it is totally up to you whether to visit or not. The easiest way for foreigner to get here is to join a tour group. Otherwise, ask a Thai friend to drive you here.
