Our pickup area covers hotels along the BTS skytrain routes up to Siam (center), National Stadium (westward), Phrom Pong (eastward), and Saphan Taksin (southward), as well as hotels along the MRT subway routes up to Chinatown (westward) and Sukhumwit (eastward). This also includes accommodations in Khaosan and Rama III, and notable hotels along the Chao Phraya River. Our guides and drivers will arrive at the customer's hotel approximately 10 minutes before the scheduled time to ensure punctuality.

What To Expect

1. Bangkok Pickup from hotel and travel to Maeklong market.

2. Samut Sakhon The whitish salt field, not a rice field, of course. A special bonus tour for our guests who join our floating and railway market tour in 2020. This sea salt is produced by Thai local wisdom. The salt farmer will rotate the sea water in different levels matching the strength of wind and sunlight. The rotation will continue until the salt becomes a “salt mountain” which are ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture. On the Highway 35 in Samut Sakhorn province, our guide will lead you to rub the salt to your hand and take amazing photos! 10 minutes

3. Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market) The Railway Market is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! You will have fun riding a local train toward the Mae Klong station. While on this train, you will see the “Unseen-Thailand” experience. When the train signal rings up, the chaos will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stall and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all shop owners will resume their stalls again. 1 hour 30 minutes

4. Coconut Sugar Farm You will observe how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar and palm sugar loaf. You will see a demonstration of coconut flower cutting, pouring the nectar into a bamboo container, putting preservation woods in the container, boiling up and pasteurizing the coconut nectar into the drinkable one. You will try squeezing coconut milk from coconut shell using a traditional Thai “rabbit-teeth” wooden machine. 20 minutes

5. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Join us for an unforgettable journey to the renowned Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, one of Thailand's most historic and captivating markets. Your adventure begins with an exhilarating motorboat ride, immersing you in the vibrant atmosphere that has thrived on these waters for over a century. Glide through bustling canals, where you'll witness a lively market brimming with colorful boats and friendly vendors. Sample mouthwatering Thai delicacies, from sweet mango sticky rice to freshly-made coconut ice cream and authentic Thai-style boat noodles. This tour perfectly blends culture, history, and culinary delights, making it a must-do for both Thai and international visitors. Come soak in the unique charm of Thailand's floating markets and create lasting memories! 1 hour 30 minutes

6. King Rama II Memorial Park Discover the enchanting Rama II Garden, a must-visit destination that immerses you in Thailand's rich cultural heritage. Located in Amphawa District, Samut Songkhram Province, and easily accessible from Bangkok, this stunning garden is part of the King Rama II Memorial Park, dedicated to the legendary king renowned for his contributions to Thai literature and arts. Stroll through meticulously maintained landscapes featuring traditional Thai flora and serene water features, perfect for relaxation.

Went on the Floating & Railway Market tour with our guide Lin, she was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and knew exactly where to sit on the train and where to go in the market for the best photo opportunities. We also made stops at the coconut farm and salt farm on the way which broke the journey up.

Floating Market & Umbrella Train

Published on Jul, 2024

Lin was friendly and thoughtful & the driver Kevin was helpful! Lin even made sure there was time to pause for photos and l memories. She took her time with the photos to ensure satisfactory results! Lin also offered suggestions for hidden gems. The only downside was she constantly was asking for us to leave a review. Her pleasant personality made up for constant ask. Would recommend Lin and Kevin!

A Must Do activity Bangkok!
