Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is located at Damnoen Saduak District, Ratchaburi Province, about 105 km west of Bangkok. King Rama IV commissioned the digging of the canal over hundred years ago. Then the market took place on the canal which was the life blood in the time when there were no paved roads and people used wooden boats for commuting and trading.
Today Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a famous attraction due to its exoticness and its vibrancy. The sight of local merchants paddling their wooden boat full of fruits of many contrasting colours has drawn visitors all over the world to the market. It’s a vibrant place great for photo taking and soaking up the atmosphere which promises to fill your senses with exotic sight and sound.
A sight to behold: wooden paddle boats loaded with vibrant coloured tropical fruits is the sight that draws visitors from the world over.
Join the fray by getting on the boat and letting the local weave you through the small canal, encountering many boats along the way.
