What to Expect When Visiting Bangkok, Thailand, Thailand
This private 7-hour tour is a unique experience exploring the most famous markets in Thailand. Travel with your own personal guide and driver from Bangkok to the train market and original floating market followed by a great lunch in a riverside restaurant. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included with transportation by private vehicle.
Your 7-hour day trip starts with a pickup from your hotel in Bangkok around 7am. Discover one of the authentic Floating Markets: Damnoen Saduak in Ratchaburi. Close to the market you will board a fast long tail boat, which will bring you through the narrow khlongs to the market for about half an hour.
You will enjoy watching the farmers selling fruit and many kinds of local products in their boats. If you want you can take one of the paddle boats to cruise through the market (optional). After this great experience, continue your trip to another famous market: the Maeklong train market.
People are always busy with buying and selling their products at the market. Then a piercing siren sounds and in a flash the market transforms – the shoppers disappear and the stallholders whip away their produce. The market comes to a standstill as all the vendors hold on to the poles supporting their awnings to make way for the train to pass. It is such a tight squeeze that the train traveling at about almost 15 mph / 24 km/h, touches the fruits and everything else at the marketplace as it passes through. Lunch is included in a local restaurant and afterwards a transfer back to your hotel in Bangkok.
