Full description
This is a 8-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Maeklong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Wat Sam Phran. Your place is held with the operator before we treat your booking as final.
Damnoen Saduak, 100 kilometres south-west of Bangkok, is the floating market of the postcards: boats of fruit and noodles on a canal dug in the 1860s, working by 7:00 and finished by 11:00, which is why tours leave the city at 6:30. It is crowded and much of the trade is souvenirs, and it is still worth an hour on the water. Amphawa, nearby, runs Friday to Sunday afternoons and evenings and is the one Bangkok residents prefer, with firefly boat trips after dark. Taling Chan and Khlong Lat Mayom are small weekend markets inside the city where the food is the point.
The price covers Expert guide, Transportation and Boat ride at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. It does not cover Meals and beverages, Personal expenses, Tips and Donations at Wat Samphran, 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.
The meeting point and time are emailed as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date before treating your booking as final. If the date cannot be confirmed we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Really good trip and Nice was an amazing guide. The trip had the perfect balance of learning about the places you're visiting then being given enough time to go explore them yourself. Recommend this one for people who want to see some amazing sites outside of BKK city centre!
Highly recommended- this is the most cost effective way to see all of these sites in one day. Very good
Very relaxed and well organized basic trip. The guide felt warm and I felt in good hands. Saw everything that was promised in good time. Would recommend
Nice was such a wonderful guide. She helped us by explaining the local culture, took amazing photos for us and took care of us like family. She even offered some coconut pancakes! Definitely a 10/10 experience. And props to the driver too, he was very kind.
Trip was nice. I liked Nice when she was trying to explain history and meanings around the places we visited. More guides like that.
We had a good day! Nice took lots of pictures and was very informative
Oil was our guide today. She worried about the group in every moment and made our experience great in every moment.
Thanks Nice! Great guide with photo skills and lots of local knowledge. It was a lovely day!
It's very wirth it going to all 3 places in one day because they're a bit of a long way from Bangkok but kinda close to each other so it's comvenient. All places were amazing and such a fun interesting experience! The guide was also really helpful and fun. Totally recommend!
It was a great choice for a half day trip. We had free time to do our wandering and shopping, the places are very crowded but the tour is well organized. Our guide NICE was lovely!
Was a great day!! Nice out guide was so helpful and fun. She even helped us make porters and wishes in the traditional Thai language. Was an absolute great day!!
Oil was an amazing guide and very kind, she shared information of the meeting point before the tour, explained to us how the tour would go and the time that we had to spend on each place. She even took some group pictures and shared with us. We had enough time on each spot to visit. Oil organized the boats for us on the floating market. My favorite part of the tour was the climb to the top of the dragon temple. Definitetly worth the money and very well organized.
