Description
Experience a train ride through the Maeklong Railway Market on a day trip from Bangkok. Cruise through the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and visit the Wat Samphran Dragon Temple.
Begin your adventure with a train ride into the famous Maeklong Railway Market, where vendors quickly pull back their stalls as the train arrives just inches away. After the train ride, explore the bustling market and see how local life operates along the railway tracks.
Continue to the iconic Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, where you’ll cruise through the canals by traditional longtail boat. Discover colorful boats selling tropical fruits, local snacks, handmade souvenirs, and street food while experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Thailand’s most famous floating market.
Next, visit the incredible Wat Samphran Dragon Temple, one of Thailand’s most unique hidden temples. This striking pink tower wrapped by a giant dragon offers a fascinating experience. Walk through the dragon tunnel inside the tower and climb toward the top for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
Enjoy comfortable transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide and a small-group atmosphere for a more personal travel experience.
