Day trip
Guide in: English

Description

Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Thai capital with this comprehensive day excursion to Mae Klong, known for its unique train market, and the iconic Damnoen Saduak floating market.

Activity Overview

Are you ready to explore two iconic locations in Bangkok? We'll meet at the designated time and board a minibus for a journey lasting around 1.5 hours to reach Mae Klong.

Upon arrival, you will have the opportunity to visit a remarkable market situated directly on the train tracks. As the train approaches, vendors swiftly retract their canopies and clear their merchandise from the tracks. After the train passes by, you'll stand just inches away as the locomotive navigates the narrow space, providing a thrilling experience.

Afterward, we will take a leisurely walk around this extraordinary site before getting back on the minibus for a quick 20-minute trip to Damnoen Saduak. Once we reach this picturesque rural town, we'll board a traditional Thai boat for a 45-minute journey towards the renowned floating market.

During the boat ride, you'll pass by vendors with their colorful displays of fresh vegetables, exotic fruits, handcrafted souvenirs, and an array of other items, all presented from their boats along the waterways. After navigating through the canals, we'll dock at one of the market banks where you’ll enjoy approximately 1 hour of free time to savor local cuisine.

Lastly, we will board the minibus for the return trip to Bangkok, a journey that lasts about 2 hours, concluding this enriching 8 to 9-hour adventure.
