Favorite thing: Oh yeah! It is traffic jam in the canal of Damnoen Saduak! I was stuck in the traffic for a good 20 minutes under the hot sun. I guess I can escape the bustling city of Bangkok but can't escape the traffic jam even in the floating market! Well, try to avoid weekends if you can because most of the local tourists come on the weekends.

Favorite thing: The canals seemed so calm as our boat cut its way through the water. Our boat paddler was a lady and she would call out to her friends as we passed by. She was probably saying "I've got a couple of suckers here" but she paddled us around and didn't drag us anywhere we didn't want to go!

Favorite thing: Make sure you arrive early if you want some peace and quiet! I've talked to people that have gone later. Later is fine but if you go early you will feel like you've just discovered Damnoen Saduak for the first time! It is a wonderful experience.

Favorite thing: Check out the motor on the Long Tail Boat. They are car motors mounted on the boats. They are loud too. But they are a cool Thailand tradition. My son wanted my to build one when we came home. I prefered the paddle boats while cruising the canals of Damnoen Saduak. They were so peaceful.

Fondest memory: This isn'st my fondest memory but it is something that stuck in my head!
It was a nice calm morning listening to nothing but the chatter of the Market ladies and chickens until this guy came along with his extra loud motor!

Favorite thing: One of the local houses seen along the floating market. I wonder how is it like to be living next to such a busy place with tourists in front of your door steps everyday.
