Damnoen Saduak (Thai: ดำเนินสะดวก, pronounced [dām.nɤ̄ːn sā.dùa̯k], lit. Comfortable travel) is a district (Amphoe) in western Thailand in the province Ratchaburi. The central town is most famous because of its floating market held every day till noon on a khlong not far from the district office. However, as it has become a prime tourist attraction of the Bangkok vicinity the market has lost its authenticity.
