Bangkok Floating Market Tour
Arrive at Ratchaburi District. Board long-tailed boats and cruise through the many small canals that takes you the market at Duamnuen Saduak. Here you will be fascinated by boats of various shapes and sizes used by local merchants to ferry their goods. It's colorful, noisy, totally touristy but great fun.
Transactions are more concerned with tourists rather than locals these days but the boats are still piled high with tropical fruit and vegetables, fresh, ready-to-drink coconut juice and local food cooked from floating kitchens located right on the boat. Missed your breakfast or fancy an early lunch? Just call over a floating noodle seller for a bowl of steaming soup heated by a stove improbably and precariously balanced in the stern of the boat - complete with condiments of course!
An exhilarating, fascinating local boat ride along the canal takes you to the market. The traditional long-tailed boat, powered by a huge diesel engine allows an interesting glimpse into local life. Orchards, traditional teak houses, floating water hyacinths - snapshots of local people by the river. A scene which suddenly changes as you arrive at the market with the shouts of the vendors replacing the roar of the engine. Despite the growing number of visitors, it's still a fun trip.
