Damnoen saduak floating market.
Day 2
Wake up early in the morning around 7 am as my next destination was to Damnoen saduak floating market. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is in Ratchaburi Province, about 100 kms southwest of Bangkok (Highway No. 4 (Phetchakasem Rd.) and turn left at Km. 80 for another 25 kms. along Bangpae- Damnoen Saduak Rd). To get there, we took car (THB 1200 per-trip).
