Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is located at Damnoen
Saduak District, Ratchaburi Province, about 105 kms from Bangkok.
According to history around 1866 King Rama IV ordered that a 32 kms
long canal be dug at Damnoen Saduak. This canal would connect the
Mae Klong River with the Tacheen River.
The excellent quality soil beside the canal is very fertile and suitable
for growing many kinds of fruits and vegetables. The area is famous
for Malacca grape, Chinese grapefruit, mangoes, bananas, and coconut. |
