Tour Damnoen Saduak (Morning: Damnoen Saduak Floating market & Maeklong Railway Market)

Damnoen Saduak Floating market

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is located at Damnoen Saduak District, Ratchaburi Province, about 105 km west of Bangkok. King Rama IV commissioned the digging of the canal over hundred years ago. Then the market took place on the canal which was the life blood in the time when there were no paved roads and people used wooden boats for commuting and trading.

Today Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a famous attraction due to its exoticness and its vibrancy. The sight of local merchants paddling their wooden boat full of fruits of many contrasting colours has drawn visitors all over the world to the market. It’s a vibrant place great for photo taking and soaking up the atmosphere which promises to fill your senses with exotic sight and sound.

Maeklong Railway Market

Maeklong Railway Market, or as the Thais call it “Market of pulled down umbrellas” is one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand. Maeklong is very near to the gulf of Thailand and all the sea products of the near shores come here before getting distributed to Bangkok and all over Thailand. Many varieties of fish, shrimp, crab, shells, as well as many tropical fruits and vegetables are on offer here. The market is unique because it’s centred around the track of the Maeklong Railway, right next to the station. When a train approaches, the awnings and shopfronts are moved back from the rails for the train to pass though. Once the train passes all the awnings and umbrellas are pulled out again and it’s business as usual, that is until the next train arrives.
