Locals sell vegetables and fruits, souvenirs, flowers, clothes, seafood, Thai dishes, which are prepared directly on board. Don't be surprised if you meet a monk on a canoe — they collect alms. Tourists are offered places on boats and speedboats here.
Trading on the floating market in Damnoen Saduak is a completely normal phenomenon, as in all markets in Thailand. Usually, the prices of goods are slightly inflated at first, but you can bargain by almost half. To make a purchase, just beckon the seller and he will dock to your boat with all his goods.
The market is open from 07:00 to 16:00, but the chance to find prices and a range of products aimed at locals is much higher until 09:00 in the morning.
