Floating Market

Morning torture started at 6am, we joined a bus tour to one of the most famous pictures of Thailand - Damnoen Saduak Floating Market located 110 km from Bangkok.


Totally chaotic, narrow canals are filled with flat boats piled anything from fruit, Som Tam (spicy papaya salad) to BBQ chicken. Each jockeying for position and paddled by ladies ready to stop and bargain at a moment's notice. It's colorful, noisy, and touristy but great fun. Don’t get disappointed if you want see many Thais buying their daily needs at the floating market now days as most people visiting the Floating Market are tourists, but it does offer an excellent opportunity to see something different and take some great pictures.
