“The train arrival in the market was unbelievable! I had read about this but you have to experience it in person to fully appreciate it. Then the floating market was beyond my wildest imagination. What a wonderful day and these experiences I will always treasure. Our guide, Pui, did an excellent job of helping me with my mobility issues. He also took wonderful [pictures of me and my adult son at every stop on the tour as well as positioning us for the best shots. We learned so much from Pui and thoroughly enjoyed his explanations during the tour.”

3.Private Floating & Railway Markets with Farm Visits

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 8 reviews

Take a private day trip from Bangkok to Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Your English-speaking guide, such as Gung, travels with you by private car, long-tail boat, and on foot, with stops for coconut sugar and traditional salt making.

“The private pick-up service was good, the car was clean and fast. But the market has nothing authentic to offer. It's a tourist destination and only made for tourists. Not particularly nice, and definitely not clean. Overall, a mediocre experience.”
