Highlights
  • Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub) - We will take you on a walk along the market which actually sits atop the train tracks and try our tropical fruits and food from around the area until a little warning bell rings over the speaker before the train comes. The awnings are pulled back only as far as necessary, the baskets of fruit and vegetables are shifted just enough as to not be sliced by the metal wheels. Amazingly, nothing is damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, vendors continue as normal.
  • Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - From Mae Klong you will take 30 minutes drive continue journey to another famous Bangkok market - Damnoen Saduak Floating market. If you are hungry, no worries because there is plenty of fruit, food and snacks over there such as Pad-Thai Noodles, Boat noodles soup, pork BBQ grill, coconut pudding, banana fritters, etc (Lunch is not included).
  • Wat Bang Kung - The hidden Phenomenon temple where you can see the whole temple is covered with roots of four plants: Pho (Bodhi), Sai (Banyan), Krai, and Krang. The Fine Arts Department has registered this temple as a National Archaeological site on December 18, 1996. Nearby is a dozen life-size concrete statues of kickboxers displaying Muay Thai moves to commemorate this historic site and remember the battle that happened here.

Additional Information

Three amazing places that you can do in one day. At first glance, markets in Thailand are all the same but one definitely stands out. Witness Thailand’s Unique Meaklong Railway Market. It has a train track running right down the middle with trains close enough to touch. The coolest thing is the awnings and shop fronts adjusts and perfectly encapsulates the train as it rolls through. From Mae Klong you will take 30 minutes drive continue journey to another famous Bangkok market - Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Then we’ll get on the boat and go along the canals through the Floating Market is. It is a great way to see the winding canals you would not otherwise have access to on foot. The waterway was a way of life to make it possible to travel and sell the goods as in the past this area was undeveloped and the city was a jungle.
