Damnoen Saduak is situated just over 100 km to the southwest of Bangkok and is mainly visited for the same-named floating market that sits a short ride from the centre of town.

The floating market is a pretty contrived affair, but remains very popular, especially with package tourists who are bussed in en-masse from Bangkok. Try to start early if you want to avoid some of these hordes. If you're still feeling dissillusioned you can try some of the other floating markets around Bangkok. These can be found at Tha Kha, Taling Chan, Ban Khu Wiang and Wat Chanthakharm, which is close to Ratchaburi.

Set astride a main road, aside from the market, Damnoen Saduak has very little to recommend it unless you're a particular fan of eating at a food stall watching the traffic go by.
