Private Tour: Floating Markets of Damnoen Saduak Cruise Day Trip from Bangkok

Indeed a nice view! We enjoyed the tour but we were too hungry because it started late, the travel was long too! But in away its worth it! the Pork BBQ is still a top notch! Im not sure how many sticks my brother finished!

Greetings,

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. The driver was also very professional and safe. The trip to the Floating Market in the long boat was very fun. Once at the FM, we needed to pay for the paddle boat for a 1/2 ride through the channels. This was also very fun. For the price we paid for the tour, this should have been included and for a longer period.

Topissime, un autre monde , une autre civilisation Tout le monde est zen Les gens sont heureux C’est l’impression que cela donne A visiter vraiment

Ho vissuto questa bellissima esperienza visitando il mercato galleggiante, così ho potuto vedere da vicino il loro modo di vivere, fuori e lontano dalla caotica, rumorosa ma pur sempre affascinante Bangkok. È stato bello vedere i colori, annusare i profumi dei prodotti in vendita. Io ci sono stata con l'escursione organizzata dal tour operator ma ogni hotel, volendo, organizza tutto questo. È lontano circa 110 km da Bangkok ma ne vale la pena. Bellissimo!

Arranging the trip was simple and the cost very competitive. Our private guide, Pearl was both friendly and knowledgeable. The length of the trip was just about right, with the part if the trip by (James Bond) long tail boat being the highlight

We took a traditional long boat to the markets and got out upon arrival. The traditional means of selling local product was amazing. Great place to eat a traditional Thai meal made and served off of one of the boats. While very touristy, this added to the overall chaos. Watching the multitude of boats vying for space on the canals was very entertaining. Definitely recommend.

We enjoyed the experience and are glad we did it. However, everything is much more expensive and they are very pushy in selling you stuff so it can be overwhelming. Best to go with the attitude of enjoying the experience than to shop. The tour guy was nice until he tried to overcharge us for a small local boat by 400B. BEWARE! He said the price advertised was for a shared boat but when we managed to shake him, the lady explain this was not true. At this point he lost our trust. But we still enjoyed the experience.

La prise en charge était excellente, avec le chauffeur et le guide, à l'hôtel. Mais nous avons été un peu déçu car le guide n'a pas servi à grand chose, à part réservé nos places sur le bâteau. Si nous avons commandé une excursion, c'était pour voir le marché flottant, ce que nous avons vu de très très loin. Cher pour ce que c'était, toute l'excursion nous aurait coûté moins cher si nous avions pris un taxi et réservé tout sur place. Dans l'ensemble, un peu déçu car cela ne valait le prix que nous avons payé. Je déconseillerais à toute personne de passer par Viator.

This was an excellent private tour, which was also incredible value. Both the guide and driver were first class.

It is just an experience to have. It is over rated and over priced. The tour operator pretty much picked us up from the hotel and dropped us by the floating market. Everything was additional. The stop to the coconut grove was not necessary and just to add activity to dull trip. If you have to just visit it for the experience. It is not what it was supposed to be where local used to buy and sell but more of a tourist hustle market

Sans intérêt. Perte de temps. Rien d intéressant à voir. Trop de monde. Que des boutiques de babioles No interest. Waste of time. Too many people and nothing to discover

Everything about this tour exceeded expectations. First, this company is very professional. We received confirmation of our pickup time and contact information for the guide the evening before the tour, as advertised. Our guide arrived at our hotel early and ready to go and spoke fluent English (not always the case, as we discovered). Throughout the tour, our guide provided lots of interesting information about Thailand, but was also very attuned to our specific interests and didn't try to push any of the tour options that didn't appeal to us. We arrived early enough to enjoy the floating market before the crowds showed up. We were primarily interested in taking photos and being there early permitted us to get some great shots! Since we weren't really there to shop, we didn't need the extra time to hang out in the town after doing the canal boat part of the tour. We were able to easily locate our guide and had no problem coming back to Bangkok early. Definitely worth it for the private tour!

Really enjoyed this trip, boats around the market was good, although it appears that all the stalls have been to the wholesalers. Elephant riding on the way back to Bangkok was super.

This tour started early however after seeing what it entailed we could’ve definitely started later and slept in. The coconut farm is something that could be left out all together. This floating market definitely reads as a tourist trap...although I do not regret going, it’s one of those things you do once for the experience and never have to do it again.

We did this tour with Gift our guide. Private pick up and journey to the markets. A fast speed boat into the markets which was brilliant fun and like something out of James Bond! Then we paid extra to get a row boat round the markets. Really good experience and glad we did it! It’s quite full on so it’s definitely good to have someone who knows the scene and keep you right! Also stopped at a market and coconut and orchid farm which was amazing. Gift was a great guide and we would highly recommend.

It is good with children for different experiences, but not very an entertainment for adults. basically, it's selling holiday stuff. Kids liked the boat trip more than the market itself. Anyway, you still can go there.

Left at 7:30am for a 70 mile trip one way bus trip. This bus took us to an area full of other busses and dropped us off at a dock full of large engined canoes. These long boats flew through some mangroves and canals that were full of trash. Floating Market had some yummy coconut ice cream and sticky rice. Lots of trinkets and souvenirs for sale. Waste of a day and $$ on a Toursit trap at best.

It is an experience that you will never forget.Its amazing to see all these little boats on the river and all are selling things.Hustle and bustle.Lots of haggling in price,a must,with the traders on either side of the river. You must try sticky rice and mango...People are friendly and everyone will try and get you to buy but once you say no they leave you alone.Loved the experience.
