1 / 8The Best of Damnoen Saduak (Floating) & Maeklong (Railway) Market
About this activity
This day trips & excursions is one of the standout things to do in Bangkok, Thailand. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €45 per person. Maeklong Market is a unique, 'must-see attraction' that should be on every visitor's itinerary. It is called 'Risky Market' because there is a train track that runs directly through the middle of the market. Literally within seconds of the train passing through the market vendors have to pull their goods, and themselves, out of the way. The precision timings and movements of everyone involved are fascinating to witness. <br/>The second market on this itinerary is at the floating market at Damnoen Saduak. Whilst it is authentic and still used by locals, due to its popularity, it has become busy with tourists. You'll have plenty of time to wander along the side of the canal here, take a short paddle boat ride, and make a few purchases. <br/><br/>09:00 Leave River City<br/>10:40 Ban Ka Long Railway Station <br/>11:10 Arrive The Maeklong Railway Station <br/>11:30 Watch the train passing Market<br/>12:10 Floating Market with paddle boat 15 mins<br/>13:30 Leave for Bangkok<br/>15:00 Drop Off to Central Bangkok

Who it's for
Best time to visit
Bangkok is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular day trips & excursions slots in Bangkok sell out.
