The Thai-Burma Railway is notably known as the Death Railway due to the harsh condition and high death rate during its construction in the early 1940s. Originally built to connect Bangkok in Thailand and Yangon in Burma (now Myanmar), you can now get on the train to explore the Death Railway from Bangkok to Nam Tok.

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

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. Well, I’ve got a lot to say about this trip in general so I’m going to share it based on my personal experience. So, here’s my take about visiting Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and whether it’s worth visiting from Bangkok!

On paper, Couchsurfing seems like a great way to enhance your experience as a woman traveling to a new place. But on the other hand, Couchsurfing for women has a mixed review as you need to be extra cautious since there’s a fine line between finding a genuine host who genuinely wants to help you with your travel on Couchsurfing and the other who wants to take advantage of you.

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!
