Breathtaking Thailand: Floating & Railway Market Immersion
Explore Damnoen Saduak, the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities, food, and for giving an insight into a bygone way of life. Although the market evolved more into a tourist attraction nowadays, it’s still worth the visit for its unique atmosphere and the experience it offers. Furthermore, we'll visit Talad Rom Hoop, also known as 'Train Umbrella Market', for a unique market experience. The market literally sits on the railway track and every day customers and shopkeepers make way for the Bangkok-Maeklong train to pass. With the ringing of a warning bell followed by an announcement in Thai over the loudspeaker, the vendors pull back their awnings within seconds. Amazing! MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 12 PERSONS.

Our guide, Kitty, was absolutely amazing — super friendly, knowledgeable, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. She explained everything about Thai culture, local snacks, and even helped us take great photos. We had such a great experience visiting both the floating market and the train market. The day was very well organized

We had an amazing experience in Bangkok thanks to our wonderful guide! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and full of positive energy throughout the day. She took us to the train market and the floating market, explaining everything with great detail and making sure we were always comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Her knowledge about local culture and daily life made the tour even more special, and she was always ready to help us take photos or find something interesting to try. We truly felt welcomed and cared for. Highly recommend this tour and especially our guide — she made our day in Bangkok and took amazing pics!

The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market Tour was an incredible experience! Our host Joyce was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. He made the trip fun and informative, sharing interesting history and stories about each location we visited. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience Thailand’s culture up close!

This tour is great if you want to see things outside of Bangkok. The Floating Market was a wonder to see, truly an amazing experience. The Railway Market was also a highlight; seeing the train so close was cool. Nikki, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and kept us punctual so we didn't miss the train. She even adjusted the itinerary to the train schedule after a few people showed up late.

- We provide hotel pick-up only from accommodations located on/near Khao San Road and on Siam Square. If you are not an actual guest at one of the hotels in our pick-up list, the designated meeting point will be our office on Chao Khamrop Road in Chinatown. IMPORTANT: The exact pick-up time will be sent to you via private message on the booking platform 1 day before the tour.

Please check your email (including junk folder) carefully the day before your tour to avoid any delays or missed departures.
- Bangkok’s traffic is notorious, so we kindly ask all participants to arrive at the meeting point on time. As our tours operate on a group basis, we cannot delay departure. If you’re unable to make it on time, please inform us before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available day or time slot. Please note that a rescheduling fee will apply.
- Damnoen Saduak is undeniably touristy these days, and while it may not feel fully authentic anymore, it remains one of the best places to experience a floating market.
