Floating Market and River Kwai

Two famous sights in one day: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in the morning and the bridge over the River Kwai in the afternoon.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi became known to travellers around the world in 1967, when the first pictures appeared of a market trading on water. Vendors still paddle up and down the waterway, selling and bartering their goods.
