#thailandtrip Visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was an unforgettable journey into the heart of traditional Thai culture. The narrow canals, bustling with wooden boats piled high with tropical fruits, sizzling street food, and handmade goods, create a vibrant and energetic scene like no other. 🍍🥢🎨 Gliding through the water on a long-tail boat, I was immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of authentic local life. Friendly vendors greeted us with warm smiles, offering everything from juicy mangoes to coconut pancakes and spicy skewers — all served straight from their boats! 🥭🌶️🍢 The explosion of colors and the dynamic atmosphere make this market a dream for photographers and curious travelers alike. Every turn offers a new scene, from grandmothers expertly steering boats to artisans crafting goods on the banks. 📸🛶 To beat the heat and avoid the heavy crowds, be sure to arrive early in the morning. The peaceful early hours offer the best experience and the soft light makes everything look even more magical. 🌤️⏰ If you're looking to dive deeper into Thailand’s culture and explore beyond the typical tourist spots, Damnoen Saduak is a must. It’s not just a market — it’s a living, floating snapshot of Thai heritage. Absolutely worth the visit! 🌊🇹🇭 Damnoen Saduak Floating 📍Damnoen Saduak, Damnoen Saduak District, Ratchaburi 70130, Thailand #globalcookiecrumbs_thailand #DamnoenSaduak #FloatingMarket #ThailandTravel #ThaiCulture #TravelThailand #BoatMarket #MarketVibes #LocalExperience #StreetFoodLovers #TravelAdventure #ColorfulMarkets #TraditionalThailand #TravelAsia #FoodieTravel #Wanderlust #MarketShopping #ExploreThailand #TravelTips #HiddenGems #TravelPhotography #CulturalExperience #FreshFruits #HandmadeCrafts #TouristSpot #BoatRide #UniqueMarkets #AuthenticTravel #TravelBucketList

Getting There: - Little Venice is located in Puerto Mogan. - Very accessible by bus or ferry from Puerto Rico, Anfi or Arguineguin. Obviously bus is cheaper but takes longer. Ferry is slightly expensive (round trip from Puerto Rico port costs around €13.5) but it’s quicker and you get to travel on the sea. Shopping: - Tuesdays and Fridays are the market days. Highly recommended visiting (although make sure to wear a hat as you’ll be walking under the hot sun!). - The market sells various tourist trinkets and clothes. If you walk up the stairs, across the bridge to the opposite from the port, you can find some more market stalls that sells jewellery and other things. - Don’t forget to try the purple berry juice! 😋 - If the market isn’t your thing, Playa de Mogan is just a 5min walk away from the market street. A very lovely beach with restaurants nearby. Hotels: - If you plan to stay overnight in Puerto Mogan, I highly recommend Raddison Blu hotel. - Alternatively, there are plenty of hotels near Puerto Rico port where you can take the ferry. If you’re staying in Puerto Rico, I recommend Gloria Palace Amadores or Gloria Palace Royal (the latter is slightly further away from the port) Food & Restaurants: - There’s plenty of restaurants near the port, on the market street, and near the beach. If you’re stuck for choice, I recommend El Malecon de Mogan. - One of the best dishes I had was Mussels in white wine sauce and fries. I recommend only getting this when in season otherwise the mussels are tiny. Attractions: - Visit the Submarine Adventure! Go underwater without getting wet - tickets are around €33 if you buy at the desk on the day. You can save a couple of euros by purchasing the tickets online either in advance or when you get there. - The submarine can be found at the end of the market. It’s yellow and bright so you won’t miss it! - Afterwards, head down to the diving centre and try out scuba diving. Finish the day with a well-deserved ice cream 🍦#canaryislands #spain #Puertodemogan #grancanaria #grancanaria #Submarineadventure #marketshopping
