1 day
About this activity
Experience authentic Thai culture, tradition & food at the Damneon Saduak Floating Market. Thai women with wooden hats sell colorful tropical fruits, coconut sugar candy, large prawns, mango sticky rice and som tum (papaya salad) from their self-paddled small boats. Also enjoy watching elephants perform some amazing stunts at the elephant show and hold your breath while watching dangerous crocodiles at the crocodile show! The tour operates early in the morning as it is the best time to witness the market in full swing. You'll love the market atmosphere and the gorgeous colors of all the tropical fruits! The area is famous for Malacca grapes, Chinese grapefruit, mangoes, bananas, and coconut. The floating market is generally crowded, with hundreds of vendors floating in their small rowing boats, and selling and buying or exchanging their goods. The most common goods are food items, fruits and vegetables brought from orchards and family farms. Also, cruise in long-tailed speedboats through the narrow canals and marshes. Catch a glimpse of everyday life in Thailand! A number of shows including some fascinating animal shows are also available on this tour. Watch an elephant and crocodile show or a magic show for kids. Opt to go for an elephant ride or click a photo with tigers and other animals. Finally, visit the Rose Garden in Bangkok - it is worth the trip. A very scenic and a well maintained garden which also provides an opportunity to learn about traditional Thai culture. See cultural demonstrations including handicraft skills, Thai boxing, sword fighting, folk dances, or Thai customs and ritual and so much more.
