We recently booked the Nocnoc travel and tours private tour to the railway and floating markets, and we had an absolutely amazing time. For context, we are a family of four (two young adults of 16 and 20) and the entire experience was flawless from start to finish. We were picked up directly at our hotel, and the van was incredibly comfortable. The pacing of the day was perfect. We never felt rushed while on the tour, and we booked the train ride, while also watching the train pass back after we de boarded. We enjoyed some amazing food during our brunch and picked up lots of great souvenirs along the way. What really stood out to us was how relaxed the experience was; unlike typical tours we’ve been on in other countries, we never felt forced to buy anything or pressured into going to specific stores. We just got to enjoy the sights, the culture, and the food at our own pace. We definitely recommend them if you are looking for a fantastic private tour of the railway and floating markets.

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.

Belle and Tummy took geat care of us. We had a wonderful view of the train from a coffee shop and the market tour was excellent.
This is a great trip. Our guide was really informative and good fun.
Our visit to the Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was one of the highlights of our time in Thailand. From the moment we were picked up, everything was impeccably organised and professionally managed, making for a truly seamless and enjoyable experience. The private vehicle provided by NocNoc Travel & Tour Bangkok was spotless, comfortable, and fully air-conditioned, ensuring a relaxing journey throughout the day. Our guide and the entire team were exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing insights into the local culture, history, and traditions. Their informative commentary brought each destination to life and made the experience far more meaningful than simply visiting on our own. One of the things we appreciated most was the personal attention we received. The team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, answer all of our questions, and make the day feel special. They generously provided snacks, drinks, and lunch, and even took some fantastic photographs for us along the way, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience while still capturing wonderful memories. The Railway Market was fascinating to witness, and the vibrant atmosphere of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was unforgettable. Having an experienced guide to navigate both locations made the visit effortless and stress-free. A special mention also goes to our James Bond-style longtail boat driver, who added an extra touch of fun and excitement to the day. We highly recommend NocNoc Travel & Tour Bangkok to anyone looking for a premium, well-organised private tour experience. The excellent service, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a memorable and enjoyable day, and we would not hesitate to book with you again.
Poppy was the best tour guide ever! Amazing information, and she took care of us better than any other tour guide. She even made sure we didn't get taken advantage of in the markets when buying souvenirs! 100% recommend!!
This tour was the best! Our tour guide was Preecha. He was excellent. He took great care of us, providing cold towels and water at every stop. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much about Thai culture and different religions. He even secured us a first class vantage point for the train and snapped pictures, even when we weren't paying attention. The attractions were wonderful. Preecha knows the best places to buy souvenirs and food! This tour is a must!
Annie was wonderful! The floating market was bustling and colorful, the train market was exciting, and the boat ride added a unique perspective. After Rain Cafe was cozy, and Annie made the day even better.
James made this tour exceptional. His stories brought the railway market to life, and the floating market visit felt authentic. Having the longtail boat ride, cafe stop, and travel in a comfortable air-conditioned car made everything stress-free. A brilliantly organised day packed with iconic sights.
This tour was the highlight of our trip. Da, our guide, was incredibly passionate and funny. Loved the unique mix: dodging the train at the market, motor boat ride along the canal and the stunning After the Rain cafe. Great value transport sorted. An unforgettable experience.
Bee was brilliant at navigating the chaos of the train market – her local knowledge was key! The whole day flowed perfectly: the floating market, cool café stop, and comfy transport all included. A fantastic, full-day introduction to the real Thailand outside Bangkok. Couldn't have asked for more.
This tour had it all. The train market is bonkers, the floating market boat trip is so serene, and the After the Rain Cafe was a lovely, refreshing stop with yummy drinks included. Smooth private transport the whole way. The day was made amazing by Annie our guide.
The markets are incredible, but that café was a total surprise gem! The boat ride at the floating market and drinks at the cafe were included. Our guide was super sharp and made the hectic train market feel easy. A proper good day.
If you want something not too heavy, this tour is perfect. We walked around the market, tried coconut ice cream, took a boat ride, and later chilled at a nearby café. Nothing complicated, just a really good day out.
Light, relaxed outing, this tour works great. We enjoyed a peaceful boat ride, explored the market with a lot of food and lots of stuff, and finished the day with a drink at a cozy café. Really straightforward and relaxing. No rush, no pressure just a genuinely pleasant day. Thanks to Annie, our guide, very nice and took good care of us.
Our floating market trip with NocNoc Tour turned out to be a really pleasant break from Bangkok. Sara was friendly and easy to talk to, and she guided us around the market at a comfortable pace. She also recommended a few local snacks for us to try, which were surprisingly good. After the market, she took us to café nearby quiet, cozy, and perfect for a short rest. Overall, it was a relaxed and enjoyable day, and having Sara as our guide made everything simple and smooth.
We had Tina as our guide. She’s friendly and knows where to go for good food and coffee around the stops. Shared a few local tips that were actually useful. Felt like traveling with someone local who knows the area well.
Hanging out with James was really easy and fun. He pointed out some cool little spots I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. The train market was neat, but the floating market was definitely the best lots of food, friendly people, and the smell of coffee everywhere. We ended the day at a small café by the canal, just relaxing. Simple, nice, and a really enjoyable day.
Annie was so kind and gentle just the kind of guide you hope for.The train market was fun and a little crazy in the best way. Then we floated through the market, sampling desserts, chatting with locals, and enjoying the views. Annie even treated us to coconut ice cream before taking us to a pretty little café for a drink. Calm, colorful, and full of joy such a wonderful day.
Bee has the kind of energy that just makes you happy. From the start, she had everyone smiling. Watching the train rush by was thrilling, and then the floating market. oh wow! So much food, so many friendly faces. Bee made sure we tried the best snacks and took amazing photos. The café stop at the end was the cherry on top peaceful and lovely after all that fun.
Angie was an absolute gem funny, caring, and full of great stories. The train market was so exciting, and she knew the perfect spot for photos. The floating market was my favorite part though so lively and full of flavor! Angie even helped me find cute souvenirs to take home. We wrapped up at café with iced coffee and lots of laughs. Couldn’t ask for more!
Traveling alone can be risky sometimes, so I always book tours in every country I visit it makes me feel safe and cared for.This time in Thailand, I booked with NocNoc Tours, and it’s one of the best tours I’ve ever had! Everything was well-organized, perfect timing, and the places we visited were amazing. My guide Angie was so kind, funny, and full of energy. She made me laugh the whole trip! We went on a boat ride, watched the train at the market, explored the floating market, and even visited a lovely café. She also took me to try delicious local food and coconut ice cream! This was truly the best day of my trip. I felt safe, happy, and cared for the whole time. I highly recommend booking with Angie and NocNoc Tours you’ll come back with a big smile and lots of happy memories!
Our family had an absolute blast on the railway and floating market trip with Tina. She’s honestly a gem super sweet, patient, always grinning like she’s got a secret. Watching that train squeeze through the market wild and the floating market snack heaven. Tina kept surprising us she hooked us up with coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice which, We even chilled at this spot called After the Rain Café, grabbed some drinks, and just soaked up the calm. Couldn’t have asked for a warmer, happier day.
