Damnoen Saduak, a small town about 100 km southwest of Bangkok, near Ratchaburi, is known throughout Thailand for its floating market. In 1866, King Rama IV ordered the construction of a 32 km-long canal linking two rivers, Mae Klong and Tacheen. Because of the fertile soil around the canal, a market was set up to sell the produce grown there. This floating market still exists, even if it has lost much of its authenticity. Thousands of visitors come here every day, and the merchants' main economic activity now derives from tourism.
