The 15 Best Floating Market Tours from Bangkok

148 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $16

Damnoen Saduak is the big one and it empties out by late morning, which is why the good tours leave before dawn. The 15 below cover it, the quieter canals near the city, and the pairings with the railway market that make the early start worth it — each with its price and the time you actually get back.

Our tour guide tried to make the tour enjoyable and she was wonderful but could t get past 4 1/2 hours in a vehicle for a 2 hr tour.”

Kitty even offered to come up to skywalk to take our picture 📸 Overall, a really good day out at a great price.”

Our tour guide was very informative and happy to answer questions. I would recommend this tour to a friend!”
