Stroll Damnoen Saduak floating market by boat
Rent a small boat to get the best floating market guide.
This marketplace actually meets on a small canal, not a river like Vietnam. Along the two banks of the canal are passages for visitors to see the markets or to shop for goods.
But if you want to fully experience the atmosphere of the market, rent a boat. You will float on the water, weaving between boats full of the goods of indigenous people.

Do you need to “haggle” when going to Damnoen Saduak floating market?
Don’t forget to bargain when shopping at the market!
When shopping in Vietnam, we often have to pay the price to avoid being overpriced. And this also happens in Thailand. Sellers also charge a lot for their products. So, you definitely have to pay the price to buy the right items.
The scary thing is that there are goods on the market that are sold for more than ten times their real value. If you don’t pay, you’ll lose a lot of money to the seller.
