How To Visit Bangkok’s Floating Market.
The Damnoen Saduak market is unique to Bangkok. This area has hundreds of rows of boats, full of merchandise for tourists and locals to shop from. The unique appeal to this floating mall, is that each boat is representative of a store front. The locals park their row boats and fill them with goods from foods to merchandise they hand craft.
A tourist can take a guided tour. One simply pulls up beside the boat of their choice and lets the haggling begin. This area is quite chaotic and “parking space” is limited. It is open everyday and is a favorite with the ladies. See ladies rowing their boats up and down the canal in hopes of a good deal. The market place is loud and exciting all at the same time. This is something that is famous in the Bangkok area and one that no one will want to miss. One can find fresh coconut juices or home made gourmet treats for the native country. Bangkok has a several of these markets around, while one may get a good deal, the experience is priceless. The next time one visits the ancient city, taking a tour of the floating markets is a must see on every list.
