Damnoen Saduak Hotels - Reviews and Rates

You can visit this market on a day trip form Bangkok, but it's much better to spend the night here and get there early before the tourist crowds show up. Jeff and I took the bus from Kanchanaburi. When we got off the bus we were greeted by a tuk tuk driver who offered us a tour of the market and to bring us to a hotel. He recommended this one a...

It was an early start this morning. I had a pick up at 7am. I broke my golden rule and decided to take an organised tour. It was a half day trip to Damneon Saduak Floating Market (300). We got to the long boat which would take us to the market about 9am. Then it was 30 minutes in a motorised long boat to the central pier. Then swapped to a paddl...

The name of the town means, "Conveniently Proceed," a reference to its grid of a dozen canals which originally helped to get cargo into Bangkok when they were built in the mid-1800's under King Rama IV (of The King and I fame). We took an overnight trip here to see that hallmark spectacle of Thailand: the Floating Market. We hired a longtail boa...

I was offered a great deal yesterday by my cab driver, he would take me to the Damnoen Saduak floating market about 65 miles west of Bangkok and then bring me back to the Grand Palace. 20 quid?.. not bad i thought. And so he met me on the dot outside my hotel at 8.00am. Once at the floating market i was offered a longboat tour ticket for 30 quid...

Today's excursion begins with a trip to the famed Damnoensaduak Floating Market - which, though you may not have realized it, is something you have seen if you've seen any generic film footage of Thailand. Basically it's that place where people in funky straw hats paddle long, skinny rowboats and motorboats down a narrow canal selling food and.....

La journee d'hier a ete super fatiguante. Ce n'etait pas vraiment prevue au programme. Cela a commencer relax dans le petit bateau taxi. On s'est mit a marcher, sachant le chemin (inform...

We had to leave at 6AM to take a 2-hour bus ride to the Floating Market. This was an awesome experience as it's literally a market on long boats in tight corridors through this small village. You can buy little widgets and other souvenirs but the coolest part of it for us was that we ate lunch through going to different boats and seeing what the...

Damnoen Saduak... home of the floating markets. The realm of picture perfect postcards. A vision of chaotic beauty. Or, as we discovered, a total waste of time and money. First of all we had to get from Bangkok from which you have a choice of two methods - bus or taxi. As previously mentioned, in true backpacker style, we opted for the easier mo...

The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, is about 110 kms west of Bangkok, so it takes us a couple of hours to get there (more sleep time!). The market is busy as we arrive and i soon get caught up in the excitement. There are static markets on the edge of the canal and then the floating stalls on the canal. The tour guide for the day tells us about ...
