Full description

This is a 7.5-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Bus/coach, Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. 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.

Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples sit side by side across Japan and the etiquette differs slightly: at a shrine, bow at the torii, rinse hands and mouth at the water basin, then bow twice, clap twice, bow once at the hall; at a temple, no clapping, hands together, and incense if it is offered. Photography is fine outside and usually not inside halls. Zen meditation sessions, zazen, are taught at several Kyoto and Tokyo temples in 30 to 60 minute sittings with the posture explained; a shukubo temple stay adds the morning service and vegetarian shojin ryori. Shoes come off at every hall.

The price covers guide, Air Conditioned Vehicle and Boat ride at the Floating Market. It does not cover Personal Expenses, Lunch and Donation at Wat Sam Phran, 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.

The trip is great if you want to do shopping, because you will have plenty of time both at the railway and floating market. The dragon temple is also very impressive and there are other attractions in the temple territory

Very nice tour with Nice our guide. It was our second tour here, and we understand now why it's called land of smile here :) The tour is also very interesting and except the fact that the floating market is more selling "tourist souvenirs" (quite still interesting , but not what I expected), the railway market is more traditional and very impressive. Anyway both are worth to see and to be experienced. The finish with the Dragon Temple is also very interesting as temple is harder to reach without a driven tour. Thx again to Nice and to the driver for this excellent day and experience ! :)

It was very organized, small group (only 7 people. Oil was very nice, very clear with all the directions though she didn’t give a lot of information. They take you to each place, she gives some information, then you have one hour free, you go back to the bus continue to next destination and repeat. I travel normally by myself and specially to this touristic sites, but the logistics of visiting the places in this itinerary where a little bit difficult so I went for this one and felt like it was worth it.

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 personal expenses, lunch and donation at wat sam phran. 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.
