Damnoen Saduak Floating Market: Traditional Water Trade Experience in the Suburbs of Bangkok

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 #Must-go-to-Bangkok #Floating-market #Thai-style-milk-tea **Damnoen Saduak Floating Market**, about 1.5 hours’ drive from Bangkok, is the most representative floating market in Thailand. The busiest time is from 6am to 9am, when locals row boats to sell fresh fruits, coconut-flavored glutinous rice and freshly cooked rice noodle soup. It is recommended to take a long-tail boat through the canal to experience the traditional trading atmosphere. Don’t forget to buy a cup of Thai milk tea (Cha Yen). The vendor will put ice cubes in a plastic bag and insert a straw. The sweet and rich orange-red milk tea is the best choice for cooling off! There are also souvenir shops on the shore of the market where you can buy hand-woven bags or elephant pants. **Tips**: - It is recommended to leave early in the morning to avoid the crowds - Be careful not to drop your phone into the water when trading on the boat!
