Vé di động

Explore Damnoen Saduak, the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities, food, and for giving an insight into a bygone way of life.

Although the market evolved more into a tourist attraction nowadays, it’s still worth the visit for its unique atmosphere and the experience it offers.

Furthermore, we'll visit Talad Rom Hoop, also known as 'Train Umbrella Market', for a unique market experience.

The market literally sits on the railway track and every day customers and shopkeepers make way for the Bangkok-Maeklong train to pass. With the ringing of a warning bell followed by an announcement in Thai over the loudspeaker, the vendors pull back their awnings within seconds. Amazing!

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 12 PERSONS.

What To Expect

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

We'll visit the famous floating market Damnoen Saduak. You will board a long-tail boat for a ride through the canals. The Damnoen Saduak canal was ordered to be built in 1866 by King Rama IV to facilitate waterborne travels between Ratchaburi and Samut Sakhon provinces. It was finished and opened to the public in 1868. Photos of this vibrant market are among the most often published in travel magazines and brochures of Thailand. Although the market evolved more into a tourist attraction nowadays, it’s still worth the visit for its unique atmosphere and the experience it offers. Total time to spend here is including traveling time from Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak (approx. 1,5 hrs - depending on traffic situation). NOTE: Damnoen Saduak is very touristy nowadays, but it still guarantees the floating market experience, even though it doesn't always feel totally authentic.

Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)

Our next stop will be the amazing Mae Klong Railway Market, locally known as Talat Rom Hoop ('Market Umbrella Close'). Imagine a train going straight through a public market! The Mae Klong Railway Market has been around since 1905. Fishing was (and still is) one of the main livelihoods of the people who lived here, and the market was another way in which to sell their goods. Officials decided to build a railway in order to better deliver these goods to other provinces. The market remained, however, despite the new tracks that cut through it. We’ll stroll over the market and hopefully see the train arrive or depart before going back to Bangkok. Total time to spend here is including traveling time between Damnoen Saduak and Maeklong Railway Market and from Maeklong Railway Market back to Bangkok (approx. 1,5 hrs - depending on traffic situation).

The Maeklong railway is so much better than advertised. It was absolutely amazing to see all of the shops pack up for the train passing and then return to business as usual. Highly recommended!!

Excellent tour and great for our family with 7 with kids. Surinna was our guide and was exceptional in making sure we were taken care of. Especially important at the train stop since we had young kids and looked out for key safety things to keep in mind. She and the driver made the trip seamless. Touristy for sure but we are tourists and enjoyed getting a peek of what life was like years ago. We also forgot some items on the van and she helped coordinate to help get everything back.
Nice half day tour

Nice day with guide Nikki…very personable. Had hotel pickup and then went to the railway market, temple, coconut farm (which is not always on the tour, so this was a bonus) and then the floating market. Overall a good half day tour and experience to see.

Was a decent tour, guide was helpful and knowledgeable. Train market wasn’t quite what we expected but cool nonetheless.
