Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - Great Day Trip from Bangkok - Thailand 2022

One of the most popular floating market in Thailand, Damnoen Saduak, is a great day trip from Bangkok. It’s located about 100 kilometers from Bangkok to the west. It’s the first floating market that the Thai government built up to service the tourist industry in order to benefit the local community.

Damnoen Saduak is the market that you’ll see in the pictures of all the travel agencies, and the only one where there are still dozens and dozens of boats selling different products, which nowadays are mostly tourist souvenirs, although some still sell fruit and even freshly cooked food.

On the banks surrounding the canals you will see many shops, cafes and small restaurants for visitors.

It is very touristy, but it is a fun visit for a couple of hours. Visitors can take a boat to sail along its canals and get an idea of ​​what these markets were like in the past.

Quite a few films have been filmed in this floating market, such as ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ of the James Bond saga, or Nicolas Cage’s ‘Bangkok Dangerous’.

The original market area is located on the opposite side of the canal with a museum.
