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.

Floating Market & Mae Klong Railway Market
I had a great day with Suan, met cool people and enjoyed the food markets! Suan bought us pomelo when she heard we never tasted it before. Highly recommend!

A good day trip
A nice tour, you see the floating market from a longtail boat. The railway market is interesting experience too. The old temple is better than expected – it is a place where locals go. Suam, our guide made the difference – she has a wily sense of humor and took excellent care of us.
Keep in mind, that there is a lot of travel time – total more than 3 hours.

Awesome experience!
This experience was amazing! Our guide Suan was awesome!! She timed it perfectly so that we would get to see the train pass by at the market, she got us the best long boat driver, he had his own sound system and everything!

Good tour-long but good
This was a really good tour. I recommend. Our guide Kitty was also very nice and shared a lot of information. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because they didn’t pick up at my hotel and as a solo traveler, I would have preferred pickup.
