Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

This floating market is truly an impressive sight as vendors on long-tail boats brimming with fresh fruits, food, and drinks navigate the 'klong' (canal) to sell their produce to the tourists and locals standing along the canal's edge or gliding down the narrow and crowded canals. Besides food and drinks, you'll also find an assortment of brightly coloured trinkets in the small wooden houses on stilts that fringe the banks. This world-famous market, from a James Bond movie, is located 80 kilometres outside Bangkok, but it is certainly worth the journey. Take an organised tour, or a regular bus from the Southern Bus Terminal and see what the hype is all about.
