Damnoensaduak Floating market, Bangkok Thailand

floating market, Bangkok

I saw in the TV and also heard about how fun of the floating market before I go to Bangkok. I told to our tour guide must bring us there, and here i come.

We had our best Phat Thai and Tom Yum noodle soup here, and the price is much cheaper if compare to Bangkok city or Chatchuchak market. I also learned how to cook Phat Thai from here.

Since we have to rush back on the road to our next destination Tiger temple, we just stopped here for a short time. If i will visit Bangkok again next time, I must stay longer here as this place is so much of fun. Here was the route that our private tour guide planned for us - Maeklong Train market (reached there by 8.30am for the 1st train) -> floating market ->Tiger temple (must reached there before 1.00pm as to join walk with tiger program -> River Kwai (on the way back). We paid quite a big sum of money for this one day trip. You can get a taxi and follow the above route and I bet you can save a lot of money instead getting a private tour guide. Nevertheless, the tour guide from "Tour with Tong" is very professional and we really enjoyed this trip.

    I've heard of this place for so many times already. I make sure I'll get there once I have the chance. One of my favourite is their green & white colour tapioca kuih!

    I've been to this place a few times but compared to years ago I understand that now there are not as many boat vendors as before.

    I've been to this place before, that's why last year I chose to go to another floating market called Amphawa. It's nice too, a bit more peaceful compared with this one.

    My family and I was living in Bangkok for quite a while but somehow, we have never actually explore Thailand.We always try to get away from Thailand and would fly to other countries even for a short holidays.I guess when you are actually living in the hub, you never appreciate it until you 'see' it from someone else eyes.
