Explore the full itinerary for Fullday Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Bridge over River Kwai in Bangkok, Thailand. This full-day tours experience includes 2 stops over 1 day. Duration: 8 hours. Activity level: Extreme.

Damnoen Saduak is the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities, food, and for giving you an insight into a bygone way of life. An early morning start is worth it to avoid the heat and catch Damnoen Saduak at its liveliest. Most visitors who come to Thailand want to visit a floating market and many of them will end up here. Don’t let that put you off though, as it’s an enjoyable morning out of the city and if you avoid the tourist shops you can get a real sense of the place. The market is over an hour's transfer out of Bangkok, and the easiest way to get there is to join a tour.
