S Damnoen floating market: from NP take bus #78 (a/c, 24B 1h,) ask bus attendant
for floating market. The bus stops on the N side of Chei in front
of Police station. Go there at 6:00 so you will get to the market
before it is full of tourists by 9am. From Damnoen Bus station,
take a van or songthiaw to the market (frequent, 10min, 5B) or
you can walk to the market 2-3 km.
At the market you can rent a boat. Boat with attached engine
is noisy, better to take boat(6 persons) without engine. Bargain
hard. 200B for 30-40 min, visiting 2 markets (actually the 2
parts of the same market) Bigger boats with engine run regularly
when more tourists are around, you can join that one as well.
