Visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Without Tour: Is It Worth It or Just Another Tourist Trap in Bangkok?

1 Comment / budget, thailand, tips, transportation, travel / By

Visiting a floating market seems to be one of the most recommended things to do in Bangkok, and Damnoen Saduak is one of the most popular floating markets close to the capital city of Thailand. Despite so many tour options to visit a floating market from Bangkok, my boyfriend and I decided to visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market without tour on our last trip to Thailand.

Before deciding to make a DIY trip to Damnoen Saduak from Bangkok, our main consideration is actually the fact that most tours start super early in the morning, and none of us is a morning person. Especially not during a holiday! LOL.

As a result, we decided to go to the floating market by researching the public transportation from Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak, and just wing it on D-day to see if it’s worth visiting or just another tourist trap in Bangkok.

Now that I started traveling with my boyfriend, I realize how impactful it is to filter genuine hosts on Couchsurfing from some random men who want to reach out to me just because I’m a woman traveling alone.

So, here are some safety tips that I want to share if you’re a woman traveler looking to couchsurf as a part of your travel!

After years of traveling solo, I finally got a chance to travel with my beau. And here’s a warning, there are some adjustments that you need to make when you travel with your partner for the first time, especially when you get so used to being a solo traveler!

So far, I’ve spent a month and a half traveling with my partner in total. It’s not a full-time travel, since my boyfriend works 9-to-5, but we managed to be together for a month in Southeast Asia without killing each other and a short trip around Turkey (also known as Turkiye) recently seems to make us long for our next journey to travel together as a couple.
