Every day many Thai and foreign tourists travel here to shop, eat, and absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years.Klong Damnoen Saduak Damnoen Saduak is the straightest and longest canal in Thailand. The canal was built on royal initiative as King Rama IV of Thailand wanted to link the Mae Klong River with Chinese river ways to support transportation and trade. It took over 2 years to dig, and was eventually finished under the reign of his successor King Rama V. The canal is 32 kilometers long and has more than 200 branches.Damnoen Saduak Floating Market’s popularity grew to new heights in 1971 – 1973 when the river was full of farmers on their boats selling their wares. And that is the way trade is performed in this area until todays.

Great guide and fun trips.
Gang our tour guide was wonderful, friendly, kind and went above and beyond to be helpful. I did not have Thai currency so she asked the driver if he could help and he actually got cash for me. It was unexpected and very much appreciated. I also felt safe and cared for because I got lost and she was so patient about the delay it caused.
