Floating Markets and Mae Klong Railway Market Day Tour from Bangkok
This half-day tour from Bangkok explores the Damnoen Saduak floating markets and Mae Klong Railway Market, ideal for travelers interested in local culture and markets.
Description
Depart from Bangkok and travel approximately 100 km southwest to Ratchaburi Province. Your first stop is the Mae Klong Railway Market, where vendors move their stalls away from the tracks when trains pass through. This market is locally known as Talad Rom Hup, meaning 'umbrella pulldown market.'
Next, board a boat to cruise through Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a network of canals lined with vendors selling fresh fruits, flowers, clothing, and souvenirs. You can walk through the market or rent a paddle boat at your own expense to navigate the waterways and experience the market from the water.
Then visit Lao Tuk Luck Market (Old Damnoen Saduak Market) to see traditional Thai houses and traders selling fruits and vegetables by age-old methods. On the return journey to Bangkok, stop at a local sugar palm farm to observe how sugar products are traditionally produced from coconut plantations.
