Description
Discover the Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market on a private tour from Bangkok. Customize your itinerary and enjoy a scenic drive through rural Thailand.
Begin your journey with a tour southwest to Maeklong Railway Market, the extraordinary market built directly on active train tracks. Few sights are more memorable than watching the vendors pull back their awnings as the train rolls through, then quickly reset their stalls as though nothing happened.
From there, continue on to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a lively floating market where colorful boats crowd the canals. The mix of tropical fruits, sizzling snacks, and souvenirs creates a festive atmosphere unlike anywhere else. You can wander the banks to browse the stalls or choose an optional long-tail boat ride for a closer look at the action on the water.
Between stops, enjoy a scenic drive through small towns and coconut plantations, offering a glimpse of rural life outside Bangkok. At the end of the day, your driver/guide will return you comfortably to your hotel in the city.
