I remember visiting on my very first trip to Thailand in 2006. It was a n amazing experience. I do wish we would’ve stopped at the sugar plantation though. Great video. Thanks for the memories, lol.
Thanks for the great video. It's nice to watch. For me, there are so many other and more peaceful floating markets near Bangkok center that I have no desire to go there personally.
Hi Jeroen. Nice video. Well done. Another amazing floating market is the Don Wai. It is more popular among Thai. It is also closer to Bangkok. It is more authentic.
My first ever trip to Thailand a Thai friend took me to a floating market. She bought two bags of what I thought were some sort of exotic nuts and handed me one. Once on the boat I thought I'll try these nuts so popped a couple in my mouth. Turned to her and went "these nuts are not very nice." Yes, it was fish food.
I visited for the first and last time in the 80s. Even then it was a tourist trap. My impression of the place can best be described by paraphrasing Julius Ceasar: I came, I saw, I left. 😅
Thanks Jeroen! Always good seeing you and Mirela. It felt as if we were there sitting next to you on the boat. Really enjoyed this video, and it brought back some nice memories of when I took my mother there in 2015. Thank you for that.
"Damnoen Saduak __loating Market!"........I love the name!........lol Why is (motor) long-tail boat allowed in traffic area????????........it causes smell and pollution.
I was there a few years ago which was great, but these new motorboats completely ruin the vibe, the motor is literally in your face so dealing with the noise and the fumes is incredibly rude, it turns this tranquil nature tour into Bangkok traffic, they need get rid of them. Btw the coconut sugar I bought there lasted me years.
When i see this now..... Nope never again i'm going back too this market. In 2000 it whas nice. 2002 busy in 2006 already toerist trap. :( All the charme is gone now.
We were there about 20 years ago, there was a very annoying very loud very present australian lady that everyone on the market disliked.....till she got off the boat but not on the ramp! Hilarious splash and she had a crowd laughing their socks off.😂😂😂
Traveling through this floating market during peak hours it made me feel like driving a car in crazy Bangkok road traffic but the better mood. 😎😎Thanks for sharing.
Damnoen is indeed the most visited floating market for a first visit to Thailand but for me it is not "a real Thai floating market", it is just for tourists whereas less than 20 km from Damnoen there is has some still typical floating markets. On the other hand, they are still very little visited by tourists because they are more difficult to access and you have to get by a little in the Thai language to communicate, but on the other hand on these markets there are no "made in China" trinkets 😁but you can buy there fruits and vegetables as well as noodle soups and Thai desserts
I was there February 1989 😅😅 it might have changed a little bit, anyway had a nice time there, nice memory 🌞🤟🏼🇹🇭☀️
Very nice Jeroen. Thanks for showing us around 😃👍🏼
Thank you very much for visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating, I living in Damnoen Saduak so I wish you happy and have fun all tour ❤

Interesting, it gives glimpse of an old Asian tradition. Cheers👍.

Thanks Bro I Love it
Wow, to busy with the big motor engines.
Nice Video, but now to buzzy and to touristy! 🙏

Giethoorn van Bangkok 😂
One of the biggest tourist traps in Thailand.....!!!! Nothing like a genuine floating market...
We did a similar canal tour on our first visit to Bangkok in 2018. Avoided the animals on show.
When i see this now..... Nope never again i'm going back too this market. In 2000 it whas nice. 2002 busy in 2006 already toerist trap. :( All the charme is gone now.
Think it’s too touristic. Better avoid and visit the smaler local markets on the Thonburi side like the Khlong Lat Mayom floating market.
Très déçu de ce marché
We were there about 20 years ago, there was a very annoying very loud very present australian lady that everyone on the market disliked.....till she got off the boat but not on the ramp! Hilarious splash and she had a crowd laughing their socks off.😂😂😂
i think all the touristboats will disturb the marketbussines.
Have been there many years ago and it was also busy. Nice video.
The real old Bangkok 😂
👍👍👍
