Full description

This is a 8-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Maeklong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Wat Sam Phran. It is run by DiscoverEase Tours, 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.

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.

DiscoverEase Tours 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 DiscoverEase Tours before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

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!

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

DiscoverEase Tours sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover meals and beverages, personal expenses, tips and donations at wat samphran. 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.
