Ayutthaya, Damnoen Floating & Maeklong Railway Market Day Tour
Availability checked
This 11-hour day trip from Bangkok packs in three of central Thailand’s most recognisable sights. At Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the famous Buddha head entwined in Bodhi-tree roots at Wat Mahathat anchors a walk through 14th-century temple ruins. A longboat winds through Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, where vendors in wooden paddle boats sell fresh coconut pancakes and grilled prawns from their hulls. The final stop is Maeklong Railway Market, where a commuter train passes through the stalls eight times a day and vendors fold their awnings back with practised speed. The tour operates through a GSTC-certified sustainable platform aimed at reducing tourism’s carbon footprint.
