About 100 kilometers southwest of Bangkok, in Ratchaburi Province is Damnoen Saduak, Thailand's most famous floating market.
Around 150 years ago, during the reign of King Rama IV, the waterways of Damnoen Saduak were the center of economic activity and much of the transport was done by boat. Today, the floating market is a place bustling with activity, crowded with small boats loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables from surrounding orchards.
