Doing both the markets and a Bangkok temple in one day sounded like a lot, but Audrey made it feel so effortless. He kept a nice, easy pace for us. Seeing the giant Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho after a busy morning at the railway market was such a cool contrast. Audrey is super thoughtful and polite!

Itinerary
Visit the famous Maeklong Railway Market, one of the most unique markets in Thailand. Here, you will witness the incredible moment when the train passes directly through the market. As the train approaches the station, local vendors quickly pull back their umbrellas, fold their awnings, and move their goods away from the railway tracks to clear the path. Once the train has passed, everything is set up again within seconds, and the market returns to its lively atmosphere. At the market, you will find a wide variety of products including fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, local snacks, and many inexpensive souvenirs. It is also a great place to observe the daily life of local people as they sell fresh produce and goods in this bustling traditional market. Don’t forget to take photos of this amazing and unique experience.
After visiting the famous Maeklong Railway Market, continue the journey with a short 20-minute drive to the original floating market of Thailand, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. At the floating market, enjoy tasting a variety of delicious Thai desserts and local foods recommended by your guide. Experience the vibrant atmosphere as local vendors sell their goods from boats along the canal. Take your time to explore, shop for souvenirs, and capture memorable photos of this unique Thai cultural scene.

So glad we did this tour with Paula. Getting to see the countryside markets and a major Bangkok landmark all in one day was convenient. Great driver, comfortable ride, zero headaches.
Peter brought great energy to the whole trip. Watching the vendors pull back their awnings in ten seconds for the train was insane. Beautiful afternoon exploring Wat Arun by the river.
Angie made our day trip so easy! Floating through Damnoen Saduak on a wooden boat while snacking on sweet sticky rice was pure joy. Then we wrapped it up at the Grand Palace. 10/10 service.
If you want a bit of everything, this is the tour to pick. Angie picked us up early and made the whole morning feel so easy. We loved trying local snacks at the floating market, and seeing the train pass was really cool. We ended our trip at Wat Pho to see the massive Reclining Buddha, which was totally breath-taking. Angie took amazing pictures for us too!
We had a great experience with Peter as our guide. He timed our arrival at the railway market perfectly so we caught the train right on schedule. The boat trip at the floating market was so peaceful, and finishing up at Wat Arun by the river was beautiful. Peter speaks fantastic English and made the day super pleasant.
Everything ran like clockwork with Kay. The private van was clean and super cold, which was a lifesaver after walking around the markets. Seeing the gigantic Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho was the perfect final stop for our day.
Nate made our day trip out of the city so enjoyable. He knew the exact timing for the train market, so we didn't have to wait around in the heat forever. After the boat ride at the floating market, we headed over to Wat Pho to see the giant golden Buddha. Nate’s explanations were super chill and easy to follow. Plus, having a cool van waiting after every stop was awesome
Had a great time on this tour with Nate! The markets were bright, busy, and full of delicious street food. Nate guided us through the crowds effortlessly. We picked Wat Arun for our temple stop, and getting to see the detail on the towers up close was incredible. Nate is a really chill guy and a top guide!
This was such a fun day trip from Bangkok! Riding in a cool air-conditioned car was so nice. Watching the train pass right through the market was super cool, and the private boat ride was very relaxing. We also got coconut ice cream, which was super tasty! Everything went so smooth and easy with Nina taking good care of us
At the railway market it got super crowded and we almost lost each other. Patrick noticed right away and kept the group together without making it stressful. He also timed everything perfectly so we actually saw the train without standing there forever. At the floating market, he handled the boat and made it smooth from start to finish
Excellent and friendly guide with good English. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions as well as sourcing a few tasty treats and bites for us to try. You can skip breakfast if you want as there will be enough to try on the way! (We had mango sticky rice, soup bowl and more) The railway markets was definitely a highlight, less touristy than the floating market
We visited the Saduak floating market and Maeklong railway market with guide Henry. Henry was a very well organised, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. He sent a message to our hotel to confirm collection time and was there waiting for us on the day. We drove in a large, air conditioned van firstly to the railway market. Here Henry gave us information about the market, history and also safety for when the train arrived. He also explained that he would take us to a good spot and some shops along the way - he said not to feel obliged to buy from these stores. Once the train passed we walked the rest of the market, he collected some food for us to taste in the van and we went to the floating market. Again Henry gave us great information about the market. We toured by boat and then by foot, exploring the stalls and having some food along the way. Henry was again very knowledgeable and very friendly. We left the market to return to our hotel. Henry was giving us information and helping us with plans and information all of the way home. I would highly recommend this tour and also Henry as guide, he made it a fantastic day out
From the moment of pickup to the final drop-off, everything was flawless. Patrick managed the timing perfectly so we saw the train arrive and still had plenty of time for the boat ride. The logistics are handled so you can just relax and enjoy the sights.
You haven't seen a market until you've seen one with a train running through the middle of it. Ken was great at pointing out the best local snacks to try. The floating market was fun too very lively and full of character.
The schedule was so well-planned that we never felt rushed. Tina was a brilliant guide, and a huge shoutout to our driver who was incredibly professional and smooth on the road. Having ice-cold water waiting for us in the van after the humid floating market was such a thoughtful touch.
I joined this tour alone and felt totally looked after. Tina is a gem! She helped me navigate the crowded market stalls and took some great photos of me when the train went by. The coconut ice cream at the floating market is a 10/10.
Patrick. This guy knows everyone! At the Railway Market, the vendors were high-fiving him as we walked past. It felt like we were VIPs. When the train came through, it was mind-blowing how close it got to our toes! Then at the Floating Market, he steered us away from the tourist traps and pointed out the best 'boat noodles' I’ve ever tasted. We ended the boat trip with some coconut ice cream that Patrick grabbed for the whole group. He’s funny, loud, and makes the whole day feel like a giant party. Highly recommend!
Som was on time and on point. We always knew what we were doing and what we were seeing. She positioned us in the best places, particularly for the Railway Market.
I’m a huge photography nerd, and Annie was the perfect match for me. She knows all the angles! At the Railway Market, she made sure I got that iconic shot of the train nose passing the vegetable baskets. But the real highlight was the boat ride at the Floating Market. She coordinated with the boat driver to pause in the best light so I could capture the vibrance of the local life. Annie is so soft-spoken and sweet, always making sure we had cold water and were staying in the shade. She really went above and beyond to make sure our memories (and my memory card!) were full.
This trip was so great. Highly recommend! We really enjoyed the train market and loved the floating market. Truly one of a kind. Our guide and driver were great! Be sure to ask for guide Athens and driver Beer. You won’t be disappointed.
This tour is a must do! We have been to Bangkok before but had not visited these places. It was an awesome experience all made possible by the knowledge of our fantastic guide Som. She made sure we were at the right places at the right times!
If you only have one day to explore outside of Bangkok, this is the tour you need to book! Our guide, Annie, made the entire experience seamless and truly unforgettable. We started the day at the Maeklong Railway Market, and it was absolutely surreal. One moment you’re walking along the tracks browsing for souvenirs, and the next, a loud whistle echoes through the market. We watched in awe as vendors pulled back their awnings with lightning speed, clearing the way for the massive, colorful train that passed just inches from their stalls. Annie knew exactly where to position us so we could capture the perfect shot of the train arriving an iconic moment we’ll never forget. After the excitement of the train, we headed to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Stepping onto the longtail boat was an experience in itself fast-paced, lively, and full of energy. The canals were buzzing with activity, packed with boats selling food, snacks, and souvenirs, while vendors called out from every direction. We cruised past traditional Thai wooden houses and coconut trees, completely immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of this famous floating market. We even spotted a massive water monitor lizard sunbathing along the concrete bank a true “National Geographic” moment! The food was another major highlight of the day. Annie recommended the coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell with sticky rice, and it was hands down the most refreshing treat in the heat. We also loved browsing the local art, especially the hand-painted elephant canvases that were so colorful and full of character. Annie was more than just a guide she felt like a friend who knew all the best spots. She helped us negotiate prices, shared fascinating local insights, and even took amazing photos for us throughout the day. Thank you, Annie, for such an incredible and memorable experience!
Annie kept us laughing all day. She is very energetic and knows all the "secret" spots for food at the market. Don't hesitate to book this tour!
Bee was such a wonderful guide! The Maeklong Railway Market is something you have to see to believe. The way the shops 'fold' away for the train and then 'unfold' back to normal in seconds is like a magic trick. After the excitement of the train, Bee took us to the Floating Market. The boat ride was spectacular the water was bustling with life and vibrant colors. We loved just sitting back in the boat and watching the world go by. Bee was so attentive and made sure we enjoyed every second of the scenery. It was the highlight of our trip!
A very well-organized private tour. Tina was punctual and provided excellent commentary throughout the day. The transition at the railway market is fascinating to watch from the trackside. The boat portion of the tour allows for some great shopping for textiles and souvenirs directly from the water. A seamless way to see these iconic locations comfortably. Thank you, Tina, for a great day!
We had an incredible time at the Railway Market. Kay was our guide and she was brilliant! She knew exactly where to stand to get the best video of the train. Huge thanks to NocNoc Tour for the perfect organization.
Our last day in Thailand was spent with May and it was perfect. She is so sweet and helpful. Always paying attention to the small details and our needs. She shared great local knowledge, made our experience even more special. Thank you May!
I want to thank NocNoc Travel and Tours for the flawless coordination. Our guide Tina was a true professional. The car was clean, the driving was safe, and the tour was perfectly timed.
We had so much fun with Annie! She’s a great photographer and helped us get the best group shots. The floating market boat ride was so fun. Thanks for the memories!
Amazing experience with Annie. She is a top-tier guide friendly, knowledgeable, and a great photographer. The Railway Market was a unique thrill, and the Floating Market was full of color and life. We saw everything we wanted and more, including some cool wildlife along the canal. If you're in thailand, you have to do this tour!
We had an awesome time with the guys on this tour. Bee was the MVP. The Railway Market is insane standing inches from a moving train is a rush you can't describe. The floating market is a must-see. Bee was fantastic super helpful, spoke great English. . Highly recommend Bee if you want a guide who’s chill and knows her stuff. Very Professional.
My husband and I experienced a class act tour with Johnny. He was so enthusiastic about everything and professional. From early morning pick up so we could see the train approach and get some wonderful pictures which he takes many for you (he’s like a professional photographer if you want) to having you sample many great foods. After the train stop off you go to floating market and in a very nice quiet fast boat. Johnny speaks excellent English and i very willing to make sure you’re happy. Explains everything and very willing to answer questions that you have. Great day with Johnny!
We booked a provate tour to floating and railway markets. Athens was our tour guide and he was excellent and made our tour very enjoyable
Experience exceeded expectations and our guide Tip went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience from beginning to end! We learned so much about Thai culture and food and fully emerged ourselves in the day - as well as a bit of the language too. A huge thank you to Tip who we would give 10 stars to if we could. An amazing start to our holiday
We had a most enjoyable tour of the the Railroad Market and the Floating Market. We not only experienced the markets but tasted fruits i never even knew existed, had Coconut Ice Cream and Mango Sticky Rice all Thanks to our amazing tour guide, Noc! I have traveled a lot and have had many good guides, but Noc exceeded all of them! Her personality was infectious.. she knew how to lace humor into our day! She went out of her way to be sure we had a relaxing and informative day! We learned a great deal about the culture, the political/government, education system and life in Thailand from her. You must take this tour and must request Noc!
This tour was great, but Johnny was the one who made it amazing! He is knowledgeable and fun. He even brought me to an amazing artist where I purchased a piece and got a few pics with the artist himself. You couldn’t get a happier guide more willing to help when needed. Highly Recommend!
Johnny was a fantastic guide. He was thoughtful, kind and lots of fun. He provided so much more than a well planned tour. He was fun and full of joy and made is feel like we were touring with family. We will not forget him. Mr. Noom was an excellent driver and made the starts and stops seamless. We are grateful for such a wonderful day!
We had an absolutely amazing private tour of the Floating Market and the Railway Market, thanks to our incredible guide, Noc. She was warm, friendly, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing Thailand with us. Noc went above and beyond to make the experience special and completely customized to our pace and interests. She introduced us to several new fruits (some we had never even heard of!), taught us Thai words along the way, and gave wonderful cultural insights that made the day both fun and educational. She was attentive, patient, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment — never rushed, always flexible, and full of great energy. Her personality made the experience feel less like a tour and more like spending the day with a knowledgeable local friend. If you’re considering this tour, request Noc if you can — she truly made this one of the highlights of our trip. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Nok is THE BEST!!! Super funny, kind, and very knowledgeable about Bangkok history!!! She made this excursion one of the most enjoyable ones my wife and I have ever been on! She’s extremely patient and helped me find exactly what I was looking for. And she made sure I received a fair price for my purchases! Truly and awesome woman who clearly loves what she does!! Best of all she takes great photos! Nok must be protected at all cost!! 😂
The train market is wild, and May made the experience even better with his stories. We loved the private boat ride away from the huge crowds. Super easy, great communication, and totally fun!
I love this tour! Bee is very kind. She help me take many photos. We eat Mango Sticky Rice, it is the best! The boat trip at floating market is very exciting. I am not good at English but Bee make me feel comfortable. Happy!
I haven't laughed this much in a long time! Poppy is such a funny guide. She told us all the 'dos and don'ts' of the market with a great sense of humor. The boat ride at the floating market was a blast, and the Coconut Ice Cream she provided was so refreshing. This tour is all about good vibes and great food. Thanks, Poppy!
That train passing through the market is insane! Tina made sure we had a front-row seat. The private boat ride later was the perfect way to wind down. Tina is a top-tier guide super chill and very helpful.
Everything about this tour was perfect. Tina was so funny and made sure we were always entertained. The train market is a must-see, but the highlight for me was the boat ride and the delicious Coconut Ice Cream Tina gave us. It was such a fun, colorful, and tasty day. We left with big smiles and very full stomachs!
Shoutout to Bee for making our day so special. She’s super knowledgeable and just a cool person to hang out with. The private car was comfy and the whole vibe of the tour was just right. The coconut ice cream? Obsessed!
Nate was really nice and guided us throughout the experience, really a fun and organized tour in the best possible way.
