Railway Market, Floating Market, & Ayutthaya Ruins Day Trip

Embark on a fascinating day trip showcasing three renowned landmarks in Bangkok: the bustling floating market of Damnoen Saduak, the unique Maeklong Railway Market, and the historical ruins of Ayutthaya!

Details of the Day Trip

Your adventure begins with a pickup from the MBK Shopping Center in Bangkok, followed by a journey southwest to the vibrant Maeklong Railway Market. After approximately 1.5 hours on the road, you will arrive at this lively market, where local products are readily available and, with a bit of luck, you might witness a train making its way through the market.

The next stop is the iconic floating market of Damnoen Saduak, an enchanting maze of canals lined with merchants offering their goods from traditional boats. Here, you'll have the opportunity to board one of these vessels for a true Thai shopping experience.

Following your excursion at the floating market, take some time to enjoy lunch and soak in the delightful atmosphere before we continue to the ruins of Ayutthaya. This historical site once served as the capital of the Kingdom of Siam from the 14th to the 18th century and was a significant trade hub.

During your visit, you'll explore the remnants of key temples in the area, including Wat Mahathat, Wat Yai Chai Mongkon, and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Prepare to be amazed by the renowned Buddha head intertwined with tree roots at Wat Mahathat, the impressive stupa of Wat Yai Chai Mongkon, and the temple of Wat Phra Si Sanphet, which was once part of the royal palace in Ayutthaya. With the guidance of your tour leader, you will uncover the historical importance of each site and admire the numerous Buddha sculptures that adorn the area.

At the end of this enriching day, you'll be returned to the original pickup location, concluding your journey 12 hours after departure.
