Half Day Railway Market and Damnoen saduak Floating Market tour

Overview

Magical markets and fantastic food – this is Thailand in a nutshell. On this small group tour, you'll visit the floating market of Damnoen and the famous Maeklong Railway market. Arriving at Damonen floating market, you'll hop into a long-tailed boat and join the congested canals of colourful canoes. Laden with fresh produce, vendors float downstream selling to throngs of shoppers on the banks. The perfect place to practice your bargaining skills. Moving on, we'll head to the Maeklong Railway market. Here, rows of stalls set up on the tracks and shut shop as soon as they hear the trains approaching. And when they pass, it's back to business as usual – a real Thai spectacle.
