Overview
Seen as the mother of all Thai markets, and based on ancient principles of buying and selling merchandise to even the more remote communities in Thailand, the Danmern Saduak Floating Market is an institution in its own right. For years, paddle boats sail up and down the narrow canals of the Ratchaburi province, approximately 110 kilometres southwest of Bangkok, where a plethora of food, snacks and fruit are bringing an explosion of colours and smells across the market. With its immense popularity, this morning-only trading ground has further expanded with souvenirs of all kinds, yet the foundation of this market remains untouched; to maintain the country’s trading history by using its canals and thoroughfares as transportation ‘roads’.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
The Floating Market is an ideal place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables and other from small boats. Tourists will also be able to see traditional Thai houses and the way locals use boats in their everyday lives.
During your visit, there will be lots of activity and bargaining is part of the fun of the sale.

Reviews
The boat and floating market and the elephant village and the monkey show costs 4000 baht per person and took us about 4 hours
But the prices are high, we bought some pants for 200 baht at khaosan road and here it was 1000 baht, we bought a mini bag for 300 baht from here then we found it at Asiatequ river front night market for 70-80 baht
That said, a bit of fun, if a little murky and we only paid for 45 minutes to whizz around, which I can assure you is more than enough time unless you are hopping off for a bite to eat in the main section (which is possible). Double up with the train market (do that one first) and it is a full morning done outside of Bangkok.....
That chap in my review picture sums up the enthusiasm unless you want to buy!!
