Step into a world where rivers are highways and boats become shops! Thailand’s iconic Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a feast for the senses, blending history, culture, and mouthwatering street food. Built over 150 years ago under King Rama IV, this canal network once earned Bangkok the nickname ‘Venice of the Far East’—and today, it’s a must-visit for travelers craving authentic Thai vibes.
Glide past vendors selling coconut pancakes, spicy noodles, and tropical fruits while wooden longtails zip through emerald-green waters. CGTN’s You Yang recently hopped aboard, calling it ‘a living postcard of Thai traditions.’
And here’s the kicker: Starting Sept 25, Chinese and Kazakh tourists can enjoy visa-free travel to Thailand for up to 30 days! This sweet deal runs until Feb 29, 2024—perfect for planning that post-exam getaway or Lunar New Year adventure.
