Description
Experience the Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market on a day trip from Bangkok. Ride a train through the market, visit a coconut sugar farm, and enjoy a paddle boat ride.
Begin your day with a comfortable ride to Samut Songkhram Province, home to two of Thailand’s most photogenic markets. Arrive at Ban Laem Station and board the train to Maeklong Railway Market.
Ride through the market, where vendors quickly fold their stalls as the train rolls in. Don’t miss this bucket-list moment – be ready with your camera.
Next, walk through the vibrant Maeklong Railway Market, a place where tradition meets adrenaline. Experience the local flavors, street snacks, and amazing photo ops as the market resumes right after the train passes.
Visit a traditional coconut sugar farm and learn how Thai palm sugar is made the old-fashioned way — from coconut blossoms to clay stove boiling. This hands-on cultural experience offers a unique insight into local traditions.
Hop on a traditional paddle boat and glide through Damnoen Saduak’s famous canals. See floating vendors selling tropical fruits, souvenirs, and hot food straight from their boats. A special surprise awaits from Monkey Travel Asia Plus.
