Available 2 time slots everyday at 7:15 hrs. & 10:30 hrs.
Take in the local sights and sounds at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Experienced long-tail boats , appreciate the winding waterways and get a brief glimpse of those who live on the river. Then see vendors scramble as the train rushes by the Maeklong Railway Market.
Maeklong Railway Market, which roughly means ‘umbrella pulldown market’, it is famous for the vendors’ mad scramble to pack up when a train goes by. We’ll explore and hopefully see the train pass before making our way to our next stop the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. One of the more famous floating markets in the city, it is made up of a network of narrow canals dotted with vendors paddling their boats filled with their wares.
Visit Wat Bang Kung – Temple hidden within the roots of a banyan tree.
This temple is probably the most iconic in Amphawa District, known for its roots and branches of banyan tree which over the centuries have surrounded and locked the building, it houses a golden Buddha.

An unforgetable experience not to be missed.
Our guide, Kis made our trip to the outskirt of Bangkok the best. Highly recommend our guide in this trip of ours to all. Should you ever plan a trip to Thailand, a day trip to the Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market is a must do. Its an experience not to be missed.

10/10 would book again
Absolutely amazing tour. Our guide Siri was very kind and knowledgeable about the locations. For me, it was a good amount of time at each place. I saw everything I wanted to see. As a solo traveler it was perfect because I got to meet other travelers and Siri was very kind in taking pictures for us. For advice Id say definitely bring sunblock and toilet paper I was very glad to have both with me.
