What To Expect
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
The Floating Market of Damnoen Saduak is one of the most attractive floating markets in Thailand. Worldwide tourists come here to experience this 38 kilometers, man-made canal initiated by the visionary King Rama IV 150 years ago. This canal was used as “road” when there was no road in Thailand. This floating market is currently the center of fruits and vegetable trading. At this floating market, you can try a number of delicious Thai fruits and foods such as sweet mango on sticky rice, freshly-made coconut icecream, and Thai-style boat noodle. A motor boat ride is already included in your tour.
Coconut Sugar Farm
You will observe how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar and palm sugar loaf. You will see a demonstration of coconut flower cutting, pouring the nectar into a bamboo container, putting preservation woods in the container, boiling up and pasteurizing the coconut nectar into the drinkable one. You will try squeezing coconut milk from coconut shell using a traditional Thai “rabbit-teeth” wooden machine.

5.00We chose the luxury option for our tour, and it was absolutely worth it! From start to finish, everything was seamless and comfortable. Jim, was amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. She even acted as our personal photographer throughout the day, which was such a thoughtful touch and gave us some wonderful memories to look back on. The gentleman who drove us around was fantastic too—professional, courteous, and made the ride smooth and enjoyable. Both Jim and our driver truly made the experience special. We had so much fun and couldn’t have asked for a better team to show us around. Highly recommend!

3.00Company was very accommodating as there wasn’t enough people booked and were to cancel but we asked to purchase extra tickets which they agreed and we ended up having a private tour. We had a driver and tour guide pick up and drop off from our hotel so very convenient. Tour guide was very nice, however we felt we could be told more information, it was quite limited. We were often reminded about tips and how much things cost and that we are lucky to have a private tour which felt unprofessional. We almost didn’t go to coconut farm because of later start time (but no one in the office told us that would be the consequence) but when we raised with tour guide he agreed to go there. Not sure why we wouldn’t go there as it’s very close to the market. We went there and it was nice but the farm shop is extremely expensive. I don’t mind supporting local businesses and always buy something small locally, but this almost felt like a scam (for sugar, coconut crisps and small soap we paid 1000 bhat). There’s no prices on the products so maybe if buying something ask beforehand. Overall the trip was great for accommodating private tour, but it was average on the day.
Just ok

3.00The actual markets are great but for a private tour I expected a guide who could communicate with me . Although the guide was kind and did her best it made it hard for us to ask questions and communicate and be curious about different things we have never seen , it was more of a taxi who took us from point a to point b but not a tour .
excellent tour of railway market, floating market and cocunut farm
