Full description

This is a 11-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Maeklong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Chao Phraya River. It is run by Happy Holiday Thailand, 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.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

Pickup is offered from Bang Khlo and Wat Arun; the exact spot and time are agreed with Happy Holiday Thailand once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Paddle boat ride at the floating market, Chao Phraya River cruise ticket, Buffet dinner on the cruise, Premium Air-conditioned Transportation and Tour Guide Service. It does not cover Meals, Any personal expenses outside the itinerary 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Bangkok. Happy Holiday Thailand confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover meals (except cruise buffet), any personal expenses outside the itinerary and tips (optional). 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.
