Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway from Bangkok

Experience some of Thailand's most unique markets on this day trip from Bangkok. Begin at the Maeklong Railway Market — the legendary "umbrella pulldown market" — where stalls hug an active railway line. Several times a day, vendors fold back awnings and pull wares away just moments before the train speeds through, then set them back in place seconds later. Next, travel to the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and hop on a traditional long-tail boat to weave along bustling canals lined with colorful stalls of fresh fruits, snacks, and handcrafted goods. Finally, visit Wat Bang Kung, one of Amphawa District's most iconic temples — almost completely enveloped by the roots and branches of a giant banyan tree. Inside sits a golden Buddha. Notes: please dress respectfully at the temple (shoulders covered). Lunch is not included.
