Overview

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.

Then continue to 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!

What To Expect

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Our first stop of the day will be the famous floating market Damnoen Saduak.
You will board a long-tail boat for a ride through the canals.

Morning hours see the river waters of this district packed with hundreds of vendors on small boats selling copious amounts of exotic, fresh fruits and vegetables, agricultural produce as well as authentic, local sweets, delicacies and souvenirs.

The Damnoen Saduak canal was ordered to be built in 1866 by King Rama IV to facilitate waterborne travels between Ratchaburi and Samut Sakhon provinces. It was finished and opened to the public in 1868.

Photos of this vibrant market featuring many small boats laden with colorful fruits and vegetables, are among the most often published in travel magazines and brochures of Thailand.

Total time to spend here is including traveling time from Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak (approx. 1,5 hrs - depending on traffic situation).

4 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub)

Our next stop will be the amazing Mae Klong Railway Market, locally known as Talat Rom Hoop ('Market Umbrella Close').
Imagine a train going straight through a public market!

The Mae Klong Railway Market has been around since 1905. Fishing was (and still is) one of the main livelihoods of the people who lived here, and the market was another way in which to sell their goods. Officials decided to build a railway in order to better deliver these goods to other provinces. The market remained, however, despite the new tracks that cut through it.

We’ll stroll over the market and hopefully see the train arrive or depart before going back to Bangkok.

Total time to spend here is including traveling time between Damnoen Saduak and Maeklong Railway Market and from Maeklong Railway Market back to Bangkok (approx. 1,5 hrs - depending on traffic situation).
