The Bustling Morning River of the Oriental Venice—Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Located about a two-hour drive from Bangkok, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is one of Thailand's most iconic floating markets. 🛶

In the early morning, the canal is filled with wooden boats selling fruits 🥥, snacks, and souvenirs. The vendors' calls echo through the air, blending with the heat and aromas to create a unique atmosphere. 🌸

This century-old market, often referred to as the "Oriental Venice," still preserves the traditional scene of trading from boats. However, motorized boats have now been introduced, which, while convenient, slightly taint the air and diminish the rustic charm. 🚤

It is recommended to visit before 10 a.m. and take a hand-rowed boat to navigate the waterways, experiencing the most authentic floating market scenery and local warmth. 🥥🍌🌶️
