Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (Talat Naam Damnoen Saduak) Overview
Located 80km (50 miles) southwest of Bangkok, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a daily riot of color and noise. Farmers and smallholders from the surrounding hills turn up each morning to sell and exchange fruit and vegetables from their heavily-laden barges, as they sail up and down the canals amongst the orchards and vineyards. Trading starts early, at around 0600 and lasts only until 1100, with the main clients being other farmers and the residents of the stilt-houses that line the canals. Visitors can also take boat trips to see the way of life in the many villages up river.
Air: Bangkok International Airport. Road: Bus: Public services to Damnoen Saduak Bus Terminal. Car: Hwy-4 (from Bangkok), then Bangpae-Damnoen Saduak Road.
