    Full description

    Depart from Bangkok in the morning and head to Ratchaburi Province, home of the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.

    Along the way, make a quick stop to visit a traditional Thai house, where you can see locals making brown coconut sugar. Explore the house and its surrounding area, which is home to many different animals living on the coconut plantation.

    Continue your trip by boarding a paddle boat for a ride along narrow canals to the floating market. See the local houses lining the canals and take a quick glance at their way of living, while you pass by. 

    Once you arrive at the market, see the amazing array of vendors in their boats selling fresh products, from fruits and vegetables to prepared dishes.

    Explore the floating market at your leisure for about an hour and take time to try some authentic Thai foods, such as Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, Boat Noodles or Coconut Ice Cream sold along the canal.

    We loved this tour! We were quite scared of going to this place due to the numerous horrendous reviews we read about people being ripped off here, but our experience was fantastic and free of scams. I recommend you go with an official tour to this place, otherwise you might end up paying 10X what it’s worth. Our guide was extremely helpful and made this experience a worth one, although bare in mind this market was built for tourists mainly. Anyway, you will not experience this twice.

    The tour guide was also a very nice person, and when I got lost in the meeting place, another tour told me, everyone was very kind, and the tour was a lot of fun! ! I'm really glad that I was able to make friends with the foreigners participating in the tour! ✨✨

    Such an amazing experience. We actually got moved onto the slightly later tour that went to the train market as we booked late and the slots were full. But the train market was incredible. Such great tour guides, Tom was the best! Thank you for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
