The Best Hotel in Damnoen Saduak, Around Bangkok

Just a 5-minute walk from the famous floating market, this classy resort feels removed from the mercantile frenzy farther down the canal. A range of room options include private villas with balconies, sundecks, and gardens, as well as more functional deluxe rooms with trimmings such as minibars and flat-screen TVs. Other highlights include two saltwater swimming pools, complimentary push-bikes, and an on-site spa. The resort has its own pier on the canal. Longtail boats can be hired for B800 per hour; longer boat tour packages that include sightseeing canal-side temples and fruit orchards are available.
