Full description

This is a 8.5-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Train, Maeklong Railway Market and River boat. It is run by TRIPZA sightseeing, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

Pickup is offered from Din Daeng, Bangkok, Ratchathewi, Khlong Toei, Sathon and Phra Khanong; the exact spot and time are agreed with TRIPZA sightseeing once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Fully licensed English-speaking guide, Transportation by air-conditioned van, Boat ride, Train ride and Audio guide in 28 languages. It does not cover Meals, Headphones for audio guide, Personal expenses and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

TRIPZA sightseeing sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with TRIPZA sightseeing before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

A wonderfull experience with Wanna and our driver. Wanna provided us with many excellent explanations, listened attentively to our needs throughout, and offered excellent advice to make this a personalized and memorable experience. I loved to discover train market and floating market like this taking train and boat. I highly recommend this tour and our guide, Wanna.

We had an amazing time on the Private Floating Market and Train Market tour. Everything was perfectly organized, and it was a fantastic way to experience authentic Thai culture up close. Our tour guide Woody was absolutely wonderful—very informative, funny, and incredibly patient. He shared so many interesting details about local traditions and daily life, which made the experience even more special. Visiting both the floating market and the train market was unforgettable; each offered a unique glimpse into how Thai markets really operate. Both stops were truly worth seeing and felt like a onc

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable day full of beautiful memories! What an amazing experience! We saw, experienced and enjoyed so much in one day. Our guide Aiai and the driver were absolutely fantastic. They were so kind and took such great care of us. Aiai knew exactly where to go, where to stand for the best views and arranged everything perfectly. The train market was an amazing experience, followed by a visit to the local market. Then we headed to the floating market, where we explored the beautiful waterways by boat. We also had a delicious lunch together at a phenomenal place. The food was ama

We had such a great experience with our guide Tumtum! She took us to the floating market and the railway market, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Tumtum was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the whole day. She explained so many interesting details about Thai culture and local life, which made the experience even more special. We never felt rushed, and she always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Both markets were amazing to see, but what really made the difference was having Tumtum as our guide. She knew exactly where t

This was our favorite activity in Thailand so far. Our guide, Jazz was so informative and kind. He went above and beyond to make our tour an unforgettable experience. He was truly the best tour guide we have ever had. If I could have rated it higher than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend!

🌟 Unforgettable Tour with the Best Guide – Charlie! 🌟 Our trip to the Railway Market and Floating Market near Bangkok was an absolute highlight! Watching the train pass right through the market was surreal, and gliding through the canals of the floating market was a great experience - even though it is largely kept alive for tourists. But what truly made this tour exceptional was our guide Charlie. He was friendly, funny, incredibly well-informed, and made sure we felt comfortable and engaged the entire time. His passion and local insights added so much value – we learned, laughed, and enjoyed

Unsere Familie fand den Ausflug hervorragend alles war perfekt geplant. Zeit wurde eingehalten. Die verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten haben wir sehr genießen können. Zwischendrin gab es immer wieder feuchte Tücher oder Früchte zum probieren. Das war auch sehr angenehm. Woody spricht sehr gut Englisch und man konnte sich prima unterhalten das hat uns gut gefallen. Den Audioguide haben wir deswegen überhaupt nicht benötigt. Woody war überhaupt sehr gesprächig lustig und wir hatten einfach eine gute Zeit. Wir können den Tagesausflug zu 100 % weiter empfehlen.

Frequently Asked Questions

TRIPZA sightseeing sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover meals, headphones for audio guide, personal expenses and tips. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Because the floating market is a morning market: the boats are busiest from 7:00 and thinning out by 11:00, and the road from Bangkok takes 90 minutes. Tours that leave at 7:00 see the market working; tours that leave at 9:00 see the souvenir stalls. Maeklong's train times are fixed and the itinerary is built around them.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
