Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (solo trip)

Damnoen Saduak is part tourist trap (beads scheme, petting pet monkey for Baht), but also a very cool and efficient tourist location.

Our visit to the Floating Market began around 1:00 PM, where we promptly secured two boats for 2500 baht, eager to immerse ourselves in the unique atmosphere.
