Watch: Checking out the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Thailand

The rivers and canals that crisscross Thailand's capital Bangkok were once the primary transportation system that gave the city its nickname: “Venice of the Far East.”

The Damnoen Saduak canal is the straightest and longest canals in Thailand. It was built on royal initiative as King Rama IV of Thailand wanted to link the Mae Klong River with Chinese rivers to support transportation and trade. The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi is one of the most popular floating markets in Thailand.

CGTN's You Yang boards a boat and enjoys the scenery as well as the many flavors that the market has in store. Effective September 25, 2023, Chinese and Kazakh tourists to Thailand will be granted a visa-free stay of up to 30 days as part of a tourist visa exemption scheme that will be in place till February 29, 2024.
