Hi Ronald,
There’s no need to book the minivan. It is like public mini buses. However there’s no direct minivans to the floating market, the last stop is at the nearest town a few kilometers away, but you may request the driver to take you there. If you plan to return to Bangkok with the same means, you need to deal with the boat agent to arrange minivan to pick you up. This was last time. Not sure how it is now, perhaps now they have direct route. Enjoy your trip!

Hello Niza,
I’m still figuring out how to get to Damonen Saduak Floating Market after reading numbersssss of blogsss. Anyway, i think i found urs is the one that suit me well. But i have one question, do i have to book the minivan in advance? or, should i just drop by Victory Monument (Underneath BTS)?

Hi Pswong,
You could request the boat operator to call for minivan to pick you up when you arrive at the jetty. You have to plan your time well as minivan runs when there are enough passenggers from BKK, and the market is not on their usual route (they will not go there if there is no passenger going to the market). Another option is to hire a taxi or private car although it is a bit expensive.

Wasalam Fiza.
Thanks for reading my blog.

You have to deal with the minivan driver or the boat agent when the driver drop you off at the pier (provided you must return to the same pier). Usually the agent will contact the van to pick you up cause rarely van goes to the floating market, the route is up to the Damnoen town only. The easiest way is getting a package from the hotel or travel agent at Bangkok, for instance the guest house that we were staying offered a package about 500Bhat per person for a return trip. One way journey to Damnoen from Bangkok takes about an hour by van, 2hrs by bus. Hope the info helps.
