Know before you go
- The tour does not include a long-tail boat ride inside the floating market due to congestion. However, you may purchase one directly from a local vendor if wished on low-traffic days, with approximately 150 Baht equating to a 25-30 minute ride.
- The markets are authentic but, due to their popularity, it has become popular with tourists. Items at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market might be overpriced as a result, but please use your tour guide to consult if you’re unsure about the prices.
- This tour starts earlier than others as the local partner aims to escape the traffic in Bangkok, which can get extremely heavy during rush hour
