Bangkok: Floating Market & Train Market with Train/Boat ride
Highlights
- Damnoen Saduak floating market by boat
- Maeklong Railway Market as the train passes
- English-speaking licensed guide
- 8.5-hour tour at a steady pace
An 8.5-hour day trip from Bangkok combines a train ride through Maeklong Railway Market with a longtail boat through Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, with an English-speaking guide throughout and a digital audio guide available in 28 languages via a QR code on the traveler’s own phone.
The first stop is Maeklong, where the group boards a local train that runs directly through the market, past stalls set up close to the tracks. From there, the group continues to a pier for a longtail boat ride along canals lined with water villages, arriving at Damnoen Saduak, where vendors sell produce, snacks and crafts from boats on the water.
Meet in front of SIAMSCAPE, opposite MBK and close to National Stadium Skytrain station — the guide carries a signboard with the traveler’s name. Group size runs up to 15, and the live guide speaks English only; the 28-language option is the QR-code audio guide, not the guide in person.
