Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Damnoensaduak is one of a provincial district of Rajburi Province. Most people live densely along both sides of the canal from one end of the canal to another.The majority of this people are agriculturists. They grow several different kinds of fruit and vegetable for examples oranges, grapes, papayas, cabbages, bean, onion and etc. The land in this area is naturally fertile. Apart from providing transportation, Damnoensaduak Canal also provides farmers with adequate water for agricultural purposes for the whole year around. More than 200 small canals were dug by local peasants to connect with it to get water to splatter their land. Moreover; these small canals also become protitiouus ways of taking their agricultural products to the markets in neighbouring provinces and Bangkok. Day in and day out from about 8 a.m. to about 11 a.m. the Floating Market is routinely crowded with hundrreds of vendors and purchasers floating in their small rowing boats selling and buying or exchanging their goods. What they purchase are particularly food, fruit and vegetable which mostly brought from their own orchards.

Outstanding trip
James123321jj, 23-09-2019
This travel team really understood what we wanted on our trip and our limitations as my 88 year old mother was travelling with us and this trip was for her. The planning took some time and tweaking but once we arrived we were met by a representative, given our written itinerary and from there on in we were met and transported effortlessly on every leg of the trip. We marveled that we would have a fantastic day and then the next would be even better. I was especially pleased at the respect and kindness extended to my elderly mother who required some assistance. Her needs were met every step of the way.
Fabulous experience!

We had a great time in this tour with our guide Maio and driver Mr Jaroon. Maio was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all of our questions. The train market is a really unique experience and our time at the floating markets was really great too. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Railway and floating markets

The trip was good to see the train and floating market but it was a little rushed. The guide didn’t explain much about the history behind the different markets or how many people had visited it per day. We weren’t given the opportunity to ask questions. The mini bus driver could have told us about the journey and the areas that we passed through. He or the guide could have told us how long the return to the hotel might be but we had no information. The long tail boat ride was nice through the town but again a bit of history would have made the experience more informative. We can recommend the food at the floating market, it was fresh hot and very tasty. Lots of different stalls at both but you have to barter as the first price is sometimes a little high. Enjoyable experience.
Awesome Visit but probably once is enough

We (3 friends) are in Bangkok for a short break & decided to check out these Bangkok tourist attractions.
We signed up half a day tour with Get Your Guide (local partner Big Country Vacation). We took a mini van & old school no aircondition train (30 mins) to Maeklong Train Market.As expected the place is FULL of tourists. Although it was super hot & crowded, it was worth the time & effort seeing 1st hand the train pass through the narrow track. Both sides of the track are lined with stalls & the owner can efficiently remove tents, movable tables to
make way for the train to pass by.
As for the floating market, it is amazing seeing the local selling from their boat. The canal does get congested at certain sections but the boatman or boatwoman can navigate skillfully and no one fell into the canal :).
This was an awesome experience visiting these 2 places which i encougare foreign visitors to check it out. However for me personally 1 visit is enough given the hot weather and crowd..

Unscheduled and unnecessary stop for an hour at Elephant /Tourist park
Chipndale2225, 01-01-2020
Pick up was on time , although I had issues getting a hold of anyone when I tried ringing to confirm our trip .No one would answer the phone.
First stop was the train markets , we really enjoyed this experience , however the time was limited, we would have liked another half hour.This could have been done if we didn’t stop at the elephant place.
Floating markets were interesting, traffic jam with all the boats but that was all part of the experience .
Then did this hour stop at elephant park, big tourist trap, massages ,elephant rides ,photos with very drugged tiger or what we did sit and have a cold drink.We ran into my sister and partner who were in a different tour and they were also annoyed with this unscheduled stopover which added to their 13 hour day unnecessarily.
