What impressed me the most during this trip to Thailand was the Tanneng Saduak Floating Market and the Thai temples.Floating markets are usually arranged by travel agencies, but because of the distance from Bangkok, it takes 2-3 hours to pull the car. In addition, the market will end at about noon, so we got up early that day and went to the Tanneng Sadu Floating Market. .
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
The floating market is said to be the place where King Rama V gathered the Thai people. Because of the river flowing and abundant fish, this floating market naturally formed. At the beginning, the floating market was only used by the Thai people to live and exchange food. The distribution center, gradually due to the influx of tourists, is mostly a place to sell souvenirs.

Ready to go!This ship cost us 1500 baht, and the shipper will help us negotiate a cheaper price with the local boat owner.
Floating market cruise experience
There are homes on both sides of the river. Don’t think the first picture below is the life of the residents here. This house was built for tourists to live in. The asking price per night is about 2500-3000 baht.The life of the residents on both sides of the real riverbank is as shown below. In the past, they used the river water for laundry and even as a source of edible water. However, after watching the travel program, I explained that groundwater has been replaced, reducing river water pollution and the chance of residents getting sick.
This trip can see a different life on the water.
There are many tourists in the Dannengduo Floating Market every day, but most of them are curious, and there are not many opportunities for actual purchase. Of course, we still have to rely on the Taiwanese to stimulate consumption, so we will hear one after another there. Simple Mandarin like "hello", "buy things", "very cheap" and so on, it's wonderful!You will see all kinds of tourists on the small boat, and foreigners in Europe and the United States will spend a lot of time to watch.
There are many products to choose from on the small boat, and there are also many shops on both sides of the river. Most of them sell Thai and Buddhist products, which are unique in style.It is inevitable that there will be stalls with brand-name counterfeit products. Of course, this can also be seen in the Pepeng Night Market. Hmm... everyone is not encouraged to buy counterfeit products.In addition, in the process of driving, the boatmen on both sides will hook your boat to sell their goods. As the price will be higher, remember to bargain again!
Here, you can feel that the local residents live and work in peace and contentment, as well as the expression of contentment. I think this is the most profound experience that I have brought to me during my first free travel!There are also various kinds of snacks and fruits on the side. Usually foreigners are worried about being unclean and will have diarrhea after eating. I feel that I have to enter the country as I come here, taste a bowl of delicious Thai winter noodle soup, eat roasted bananas, This is the ultimate meaning of travel, which is to experience the joy of life of local people.
Boats are the means of life and transportation for people here.
Passing by a temple, there is a school inside, where the children are studying.
The weather in Thailand is like summer all year round. If the boat you are riding on does not have a sun roof, it is best to prepare a hat to avoid heatstroke.
Conclusion
The itinerary of the Dannengduo Floating Market is common in general tour groups, but the boyfriend and family who went with us this time loved what they saw and heard. Later, when my colleagues went to play, they all praised the floating market.If you are a self-guided friend, you can go to the Khao San Road area to participate in the Local tour. It is a new experience to come here to play.
