Total Page Views for Ratchaburi: 121,335 - Views this week: 121,335
Most tourists come to Damnoen Saduak only for a short visit to the Floating Market. If you feel like spending more time in this little town, we can really recommend to explore this friendly place and its surroundings.

The center of town with all services is a piece of road of just 300 m length of highway H325 starting from the bridge plus the short streets to the east of it up to the day market.
At the market there are all sorts of songthaews that depart for the villages in the area and to Ratchaburi Town in the west, Samut Songkhram in the south and Bang Pae to the north.
Tuk-Tuks and motorcycle taxis can be found on H325. E.g.: from town to the Floating Market or to Baan Sukchoke Country Resort a tuk-tuk charges 40 Baht, a motorcycle taxi 20 Baht.

Damnoen Saduak Center
In the market area foodstalls are popping up from 4 pm, they close after dark.
Also in the market area there are several internet shops that are used by the local kids to play games, another one in the street leading to Little Bird Hotel.
