Duration:
08:00 hours
Description
Discover the Mae Klong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, and a local salt farm on a private day trip from Bangkok. Visit Wat Phet Samut Worawihan and a coconut sugar farm.
Begin your day with a pickup directly from your Bangkok hotel and leave the city grid behind for the vibrant stalls of Mae Klong. Stroll through the local fresh market to see daily produce and coastal seafood before gathering at the trackside to watch the train roll through the market core.
From the tracks, head to Wat Phet Samut Worawihan to pay respects to Luang Pho Ban Laem, a standing Buddha figure deeply revered by local fishermen and travelers alike. Continue to an authentic palm sugar farm to observe the traditional boiling process over open hearths and taste pure coconut sugar straight from the stove.
After enjoying a canal-side local lunch, wander through the historic walkways of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, with an option to board a manual paddle boat through the backwater canals. Before returning to Bangkok, unwind at Salt Lake De Maeklong—Thailand’s pioneer salt field cafe—to take in scenic coastal salt pans with a refreshing drink in hand.
