Full description

Choose from either a shared group or private guided experience to see 2 iconic markets on a day trip from Bangkok. See a market located on the railway tracks, the Maeklong Railway Market, and a market that floats on the canals at the Damnoen Saduak Market. After pickup, arrive at the Maeklong Railway Market, also known as Talad Rom Hup (“Umbrella Pulldown Market”). Maeklong is one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand and hugs the track of the Maeklong Railway.

Gain fascinating insights into how the market is run and what products are sold here from your local guide. Marvel at how market stalls and awnings are pulled back from the tracks every time a train approaches to let the train pass through. Next, head to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, one of the most famous floating markets in Thailand. To reach the market, take a short ride in a paddleboat. Enjoy plenty of time to meander around the colorful market, where friendly vendors sell directly from their boats.

Take in the sights and sounds, and try local specialties like mango sticky rice. Your guide will give you advice on what not to miss. Return to Bangkok in time for the early afternoon.

GetYourGuide traveler – PortugalNovember 24, 2023 – Verified booking
Although the guide had some difficulties expressing himself in English, he did his best to accompany us and answer our questions. Furthermore, he did his best to ensure that we had an incredible experience, having returned to the Railway Market after the Floating Market, making an exception so that we could see the train pass (unfortunately there was a technical problem with the train, which did not pass at the time expected). He was extremely friendly and attentive. The driver also did a great job and drove the vehicle with maximum safety. The bus was comfortable, but could have had Wi-Fi.

The guide was super nice, you understood him very well and he shared a lot of interesting information during the bus ride about Bangkok and Thailand in general. The bus was very modern, air-conditioned and the group size was comfortable. Unfortunately, there are a few points of criticism: When we booked, our hotel was confirmed for pickup, but less than 12 hours before the start of the excursion we were told that pickup was not possible because the hotel was outside the area. A cancellation is therefore no longer possible because you receive this information at too short a notice. Unfortunately, we hardly had the opportunity to “explore” the respective markets within the tight schedule because everything is a bit hectic. So we had 10 minutes for lunch at the Damnoen Saduak market and after the 25-30 minute boat ride we got straight on the bus home. We would still recommend the trip to everyone!

It was great, our guide Tammy was a good tour guide, kept us entertained the whole time, and made sure to stick to agenda and schedule as much as the traffic and everything allowed. The train experience was good, though we had to rush it, but overall it was great.
