Experience two of Thailand's most iconic markets in one unforgettable day. After meeting your guide in Bangkok, travel to Ratchaburi province for a visit to the bustling Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a vibrant center of local life for over 150 years. Board a traditional boat to explore the lively canals, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruit and snacks to crafts and souvenirs directly from their boats. Watch the energetic scene as locals buy and sell from boat to boat, and enjoy free time to stroll the narrow streets, sample local treats, and take in daily life along the waterfront.
