Offering guided experiences to explore the local cultures of Thailand, with a trip to The Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. The Maeklong Railway Market is renowned for its unique location on a railway track and has been fondly dubbed as Talat Rom Hup, translating to the ‘umbrella pulldown market’. It stands as one of Thailand’s prominent fresh seafood markets, situated on the Maeklong Railway’s track. Vendors neatly retract their storefronts and awnings whenever a train approaches and put them back once it’s passed. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, on the other hand, features a labyrinth of narrow canals. Women merchants, typically donning traditional Mo Hom clothes and wide-brimmed straw hats (Ngob), paddle sampans to vend their goods, often farm produce.
