Tour details
The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market tour includes a visit to the most famous floating market, Damnoen Saduak, which is about 100km southwest of Bangkok. The clad merchants at this lively market paddle along congested canals in sturdy canoes laden with fresh fruit and vegetables to sell to shoppers on the banks. This buzzing market is at its best in the early morning before the crowds arrive and the heat of the day builds up. The tour also includes a visit to Nakorn Pathom, supposedly the largest pagoda in South East Asia.
This will be a small group tour of between 8-10 people. You will be collected from your hotel and transported by minibus to the Floating Market before being returned to the hostel. Meals are not included in the price, but can be cheaply purchased from the market itself. You will be accompanied by a local tour guide who will introduce you to the sights and smells of the market before leaving you to explore at your own leisure.
Booking/Changing your arrival pack
Your arrival pack will need to be booked for a certain date. However, you may change the date of your arrival up to seven days before. A small administration charge will be incurred.
