“We enjoyed our trip to the rail and floating markets, Tim was a great guide. Only thing I’d change if more time maybe a 1/2 hr more at each market to look around, it was a little rushed and not much time to really look around. Otherwise it was a great trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,074 reviews · from $25

A full Bangkok day trip hitting the Maeklong railway market and Damnoen Saduak floating market by boat, train, and local rides.

“This tour was mixed. The tour guides, Kwan and Wana, were very friendly and were the highlight of the trip. They even brought fruit snacks and candies for us during the bus rides. The other highlight was the boat ride where you can see the Thai landscape with fruit trees (including banana, coconut, jackfruit), taro, and even some large lizards if you’re lucky. The train ride was also interesting if you haven’t experienced an open-air (no AC) train through the countryside - it was enjoyable until it became packed with so many tourists all going to the same location. For me, the negatives were the train market and the floating…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 835 reviews · from $88

Floating and railway markets plus coconut sugar and salt fields in Bangkok. Small group tour with a boat ride and train view for $88.

“Poppy, our guide was extremely bubbly and interactive. The railway market although a bit chaotic is a must have experience. The coconut farm was very interesting with tasty treats but the highlight was the floating markets. The ride in the boat and seeing the houses on the canal was amazing. The downside about the floating market is that we couldn't really buy anything due to the excessive tourists boats down the canal but still a memorable experience and the items at the floating are similar around bangkok in any event but would have loved the opportunity to reach out and buy an item or two from the floating market boats…”
