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.

Although the market evolved more into a tourist attraction nowadays, it’s still worth the visit for its unique atmosphere and the experience it offers.

Furthermore, we'll visit 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!

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS PER GROUP IS 10-12 PERSONS.

It was well worth the travel time but it does move quickly once there. We voted to skip the temple to have more time for the train market, great choice. Take water and some snacks or even download a few shows for the road.
A Memorable Day with Tour Guide Paul

We had the pleasure of experiencing a truly unforgettable day, and it all began the moment our tour guide, Paul, opened the office door. Full of life, energy, and an infectious sense of humor, Paul immediately set the tone for the day, making everyone feel relaxed and excited for the adventure ahead. His enthusiasm was contagious as he greeted our group of nine, asking where each of us was from and celebrating the diverse countries represented. Our day began smoothly and on schedule, and after about an hour and a half, we arrived at the renowned Train Market. Paul directed us to the best viewing spots and even lined us up for photos in front of the passing train, ensuring we captured the moment. We had time to explore the market, which offered a wide range of typical Thai souvenirs, before the train arrived. As the train passed, the market stall holders quickly retracted their canopies, and we stood back to watch this fascinating spectacle. Next, we visited an impressive temple, home to statues of Buddha and Thai boxers, and had the opportunity to try locally grown lychees—a true treat for the taste buds. Our journey continued to the Floating Market, where we enjoyed a leisurely boat ride. With only four or five of us in the long-tailed boat, we cruised along the waterways, stopping at various souvenir shops and food stalls. We even had the chance to sample delicious coconut ice cream and haggle for locally crafted goods. Throughout the day, Paul's enthusiasm and guidance ensured that the experience was fun and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks to Paul's energy, humor, and commitment to making our day special, we had an experience we will never forget. We are grateful for his outstanding service and wish him continued success in entertaining future guests. Many thanks again, Paul, for making this day exceptional for all of us! Best regards, Jon and Jessika

It was an absolute farce of the trip. Long drive to take one picture. No information sharing at all. If your purpose to buy cheap souvenirs no need to drive fir 2 hours each way. No food included and no advise information provided. The inly thing our guide did is to physically place us to take pictures and ran away to eat and joke with hus local friends. This country has rich history and deserves better. BTW wear long pants and cover your shoulders. There is a stop on the way, but they do not tell you that either
