After breakfast, we proceed to Damoensaduak Floating Market by van for half day tour. It took about two hours drive from Bangkok town to the Floating Market. It was very rush but fun because we need to be at airport by 3.00pm the same day.
To go to the floating market you have to wake up very early since the market closes about mid-day. In our case we left our hotel around 7 am for the two-hour drive to the market. The market was full of sellers, selling everything from fruit, noodles, everyday necessities, to souvenirs, handicrafts, and spices. We roamed the market for about an hour, had fun testing our bargaining skills and bought some food. The market was full of tourists and some say it's too commercialized now that it had lost some of its original charms. But we still feel it was a good experience and one of the high points of our visit to Thailand.
The Floating Market trip ended at about 1.30pm. We had our journey back to hotel and our tour guide send us to airport at 3pm. We had a wonderful time at Bangkok and will go again if we manage to get a cheap flight from Air Asia.
