What To Expect

Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub)
09.30 AM – Arriving at Train Market. You will hear the train long before you actually see it. Vendors and merchants collectively begin to coolly move their belongings and umbrellas away from the tracks as the train barrels forward, laying on its horn every now and then to warn people of its inevitable passing; this is why the market is also known as the ‘umbrella pulldown’ market.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
After you're picked up from your Bangkok hotel, board your tour vehicle and travel west to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located 68 miles (110 km) from Bangkok. The rural drive takes you past rice paddies and salt fields. En route, visit a farmhouse and see how sugar is produced from coconuts.

Your tour continues with a 30-minute speedboat ride past fruit plantations and Thai-style houses that showcase a traditional way of life along the riverbanks. Arriving at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, observe wooden boats overflowing with flowers and fresh produce, which vendors sell to people on shore. Let your guide know if you'd like to hire a small boat for a closer look, or try your hand at bargaining with local merchants.

After roughly 1.5 hours here, you'll make the return journey to Bangkok where your tour ends with drop-off at your hotel.

The local agent did not confirm this trip with me. I asked the hotel staff to call, but because of the misunderstanding, I was not picked up on the day I originally booked. I called the agent and changed my tour to the following day. I traveled often. This is the first time that I missed the tour.

- Guide was not good english...

- Guide was not good english speaker

- Floating markets are 100 destinated to tourism and buying souvenirs / food I was expecting to see a local floating market

Ponctuality

Conditions of the mini van

They drop off us on the city center by our request



We also went to a farm where there were a chance to ride an elepant extra pay. We did not go because it looked like a little bit of animal exploitation.
