By Bus: There are public buses leaving from the Southern Bus Terminal every 40 minutes from 06.00 hrs. onwards Damnoen Saduak in Ratchaburi about 109 kilometres south of Bangkok or approximately 2 hours drive. Fare is around Baht 50 one way. The most suitable time to be at the floating market is from 08.00-10.00 hrs. Warning: The bus or taxi might drop you 1 km away from the central area, but still next to the canal. You can hire the boat from there, but it can be very expensive (1000B or even more) and you have to bargain hard to beat the price.
