Things To Do: Get on a boat
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • To fully enjoy the trip at the floating market, you have to get on a boat. Let it be a motor boat or paddle boat. That way, you can get up close and personal to the stalls. Even you don't buy anything, it's fun to look at.

    Things To Do: Shop Shop Shop
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Even if you decided not to take a boat trip, you can still do some shopping from the boats that are parked on the side. And don't forget, this is a 'floating' market. That means, for your convenience, you can ask the sellers to the paddle their boats near to you if you are interested to buy from them.

  • Yes, one of the fun experience of Damnoen Saduak is to have your breakfast. Even if you are not on a boat, you can buy noodle from the sellers who parked their boat. You can then sit on a concrete steps, and enjoy your noodle. It is a fun thing to do.

    By the way, the portion is really little. So, you can try out a few different food around here.

  • There is no doubt that the main attraction of Damnoen Saduak is its floating market. But if you look beyond the market, you will be able to see how the local live along the canals and river. Look at the photo, do you notice the electrical poles that are so similar to those we see in any city street? For the locals, the canal/ river is the 'main street' of their town.

    Things To Do: Coconut Farm
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Coconut farms can be seen around Damnoen Saduak. To me, they look interesting neatly planted. They look different from those coconut trees we see on the beach that grow naturally and freely.

  • Our boat stop at one of the shops that has demonstrations on the making of palm sugar. There is free tasting of the palm sugar juice that is very sweet. The palm sugar has a good aroma to it.
