The central town is known for its floating market held every day till noon on a khlong not far from the district office.

The district is crossed by the Khlong Damnoen Saduak, which connects the Tha Chin with the Mae Klong Rivers.

Until during the King Mongkut's reign (Rama IV), he ordered the Khlong Damnoen Saduak to be excavated to connect water transportation (its name literally 'comfortable travel').

Khlong Damnoen Saduak is a longest straight line man-made canal in Thailand, it links two rivers to facilitate transportation and trading routes as mentioned above.

It also connects to the Khlong Phasi Charoen, which leads to the Chao Phraya River in the Bangkok area.

The origin of this song took place on March 3, 1966, when four luk thung bands joined in a music contest in Damnoen Saduak.

At that time, the result of the contest was judged from a garlands (phuang malai) and applause received from the audience.
