Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi is one of the most popular floating markets in Thailand. Every day many Thai and foreign tourists travel here to shop, eat, and absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years. Klong Damnoen Saduak Damnoen Saduak is the straightest and longest canal in Thailand. The canal was built on royal initiative as King Rama IV of Thailand wanted to link the Mae Klong River with Chinese river ways to support transportation and trade. It took over 2 years to dig, and was eventually finished under the reign of his successor King Rama V. The canal is 32 kilometers long and has more than 200 branches.Â
We took a private tour to check out the floating markets and this place is hectic, so many boats, tourists, locals, food, aromas, fumes and then serenity as you stop off at the Wat Prok Charoen temple. Definitely a great day out exploring and the tour incorporated Thailand’s Train street which I will post about separately.
