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.

Time is of the essence…
This was an OK experience. From the beginning, it felt that we were being rushed. I understand that there is a timetable for the train, but we didn’t need to be reminded so many times. Also, so many of the people on the tour didn’t speak English, so it would have been better to keep the explanations short. We were able to see everything that was shared we would see.

Siri did a good job explaining and guiding the tour today. It was extremely hot but the time was still enjoyable thanks to her personality shining thru.
