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.

We had an amazing experience on the Railway Market and Floating Market tour. Our guide, Angie, was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts throughout the day and making the whole experience enjoyable. Despite the very hot weather, everything was perfectly organized. The air-conditioned van was extremely comfortable, and Angie made sure we stayed cool by providing refreshing wet towels, fans, and even umbrellas to protect us from the sun. She also knew all the best photo spots and helped us capture wonderful family memories. The driver was excellent, the transportation was comfortable, and the entire tour was smooth from beginning to end. We highly recommend this agency, and especially Angie, to anyone visiting Bangkok. Thank you for making our day so special!
Great trip to railway market & floating market. Picked up from hotel on time with NocNoc Travel and Tours. Great fun guide. Would definitely recommend.
Katie is an absolute standout guide! She took us on an unforgettable floating market tour, going above and beyond to ensure our trip was flawless. She was perfectly punctual, helped us navigate the local shops to find authentic Muay Thai shorts for the boys, and even organized a highly affordable airport transfer for us. She instinctively understood our needs, was incredibly warm and friendly, and maintained top-notch professionalism throughout the entire experience. We couldn't have asked for a better host and highly recommend her!
Excellent experience. Best way to enjoy the train and floating markets. Our guide Athens was awesome. Took care of us for the entire trip.
We went with Katie on a tour of the railway market and the floating market. It was a private tour with just the three of us, including a private boat tour of the floating market. Katie was great! She was fun, engaging and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Thai culture and she recommended an amazing place at the floating market for lunch. Highly recommended and will definitely hire her again if we are back in Bangkok!
We had such a brilliant day on this private tour to Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market as a family of four. It was one of the real highlights of our time in Bangkok and we would definitely give it 5 stars! The whole experience was fun, interesting, and really well organised. Seeing the train come through Maeklong Railway Market was such a unique moment, and the Floating Market was a great experience for all of us. A huge special mention has to go to our guide, Kendo, who was absolutely fantastic. He was so friendly, welcoming, and easy to talk to, and he really made the day feel personal. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting stories and insights about Thailand’s history, culture, and traditions, which made everything we saw even more meaningful. We came away feeling like we had learned so much, as well as having had a really enjoyable family day out. We would highly recommend this tour — and if you get Kendo as your guide, you’re in for a treat!
This tour was fantastic! We went with NOC NOC. Our guide was brilliant! So informative and great fun.
Som was a great guide and the tour was fantastic and comfortable. Lots of information and worked so well with what we wanted to do and fitting it in with our kids. She had great recommendations as well. She was wonderful!
We had an amazing experience with our guides, Lin and Kevin, and couldn’t recommend them more. They were extremely kind, efficient, and always punctual, which made every day smooth and stress-free. They taught us so much about Thai history, culture, and local traditions, making each place we visited much more meaningful. They guided us through Ayutthaya Historical Park, the famous Maeklong Railway Market, the beautiful floating market, and Grand Palace, and every tour felt very well organized. What we appreciated most was their warmth—they were always friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. As locals, they shared insights we would never have learned on our own. They always made sure we were comfortable, brought water for us, and handled all entrance tickets, which made everything incredibly convenient. As two women traveling alone, feeling safe was very important to us, and with Lin and Kevin we felt completely secure and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. We would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Thailand. Thank you, Lin and Kevin, for making our trip so special! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From start to finish this tour was absolutely magnificent. Our tour guide Poppy was extraordinary. From pick up, which was timely to drop off. Our driver was magnificent and we thank him. This is an experience you will not want to miss. Thanks again, Miss Poppy.😊😊😊
Our guide was fantastic and very patient with our roudy group of wild kids. We had plenty of time for shopping at our stops.
From start to finish, this was the most excellent excursion. Our guide,Henry, used his expert local knowledge to miss queues and get us the best spots. The train through the market was amazing and then did the same from ground level to see how the marketing traders move their stalls further train to pass. James Bond boatride the floating marketing where we ate our way through. Had some of the best food in Bangkok thanks to Henrys expert local knowledge.
We had an amazing day with Nok nothing was too much. The floating markets were great to see and the train was incredible.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with this tour company in Thailand! From start to finish, everything was seamless and thoughtfully planned. They took us to the famous Maeklong Railway Market and made sure we were positioned in the perfect spot to watch the train arrive — such an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime moment! We never would have found that vantage point on our own. After that, we explored the beautiful Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, where they guided us to the best shopping vendors. There was a boat immediately ready for us. It made the whole experience feel authentic and relaxed. Our guide, Tip, was truly wonderful — fun, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible with our timing and preferences. She shared so much insight about the local culture and made the day feel personalized. She also found us an amazing local lunch spot where we had some of the best Pad Thai of our trip! Tony, our driver, was equally impressive — kind, professional, and we felt completely safe the entire time. The transportation was comfortable and smooth throughout the day. A special thank you as well to Noc, the main coordinator, who was so easy to communicate with leading up to the tour. Everything was organized clearly and efficiently, which made planning stress-free. She even helped us set up a last minute Chao Phraya Dinner cruise with transportation. We would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Thailand. It was one of the highlights of our trip!
Our private tour to Maeklong Railway Market and Floating Market, guided by Som, was a brilliant day out. Som looked after us very well indeed. She was very informative about what we were going to see, its history and the many products on offer at the two markets. We would recommend the tour to anyone and that Som be your guide. Thank you. Five out of five.
Poppy made the tour super fun. We cruised along the canal and enjoyed the vibrant Floating Market. Sitting on the boat with coconut ice cream in hand felt amazing, really added to the experience. Great explanations, very friendly guide.
Poppy had us ready to watch the Railway Market magic. The train approached, and all the vendors disappeared behind their folded umbrellas in what felt like a second, then just as quickly the market returned to normal. We were completely amazed and cheering. Later, the floating market canals were bustling with the boats and delicious food, making the whole day unforgettable.
These are popular destinations; booking an early morning tour (starting around 7:00 AM) is the best way to beat the heaviest heat and crowds. Highly recommend Tip for anyone visiting Bangkok
If friends come visit Thailand, I’d bring them on this tour. Patrick kept the mood fun, the markets were super unique, and the boat ride was such a vibe. Easy, fun, and memorable.
Honestly didn’t expect this to be THIS fun. The Railway Market was wild seeing the train come through so close was insane. Our guide Bee kept everything smooth and fun. Floating Market was chill, great vibes, perfect for photos.
We had a great day trip from Bangkok with Tip. She was extremely personable and adapted to what we wanted to do. She got us to the train passing through at the perfect time and a great viewing spot. We loved the floating market and had a motor boat so we saw a lot more than the paddle boats. We had fun buying coconut ice cream, souvenirs, and beer from the boats. I would highly recommend this tour!!
We have a very good tine with Katie and her driver. We are a family travelling with a toddler and all the journey was very confortavle and smoth. Katie was very Knowledge about everthing and made the best to answer to our needs and expectations. Plus she made some family pictures of us that was very appreciated! Totally recomend her and her team.
Please note this activity is quite far outside Bangkok!! We had a lovely guide Johnny/ Praapas and his driver Tony. They helped us have a good day on the trip
Nok made our Bangkok experience truly unforgettable. From the floating market to the beautiful spots around the city, everything was perfectly planned and smoothly managed. She is warm, knowledgeable, and extremely caring, which made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Thanks to her, we didn’t just visit Bangkok — we experienced it. Highly recommended! ✨
Excellent tour. Our guide Nate went above and beyond - taking pictures for us, explaining the history, attending to our every need. And our driver was excellent - we were asked to call him "One". Would absolutely recommend this tour.
Patrick was awesome. He guided us through the Railway Market with patience and humor. The floating market canals are so pretty, and sitting on the boat enjoying coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice was perfect. He even helped us spot fun photo opportunities and hidden corners.
Da made the day so enjoyable. The Railway Market was full of life and color, and the floating market canals were gorgeous. The tour felt private and relaxed, yet super interesting. Loved learning about the local routines and culture.
Our guide Tip was a friendly and professional tour guide who did his job very well. He explained the places we visited as thoroughly as he could and also took care of our needs. At our final stop together, the floating market, we had a delicious noodle soup, and he also treated us to sticky rice with coconut milk and mango. I would recommend him for your trips to Bangkok.
Annie provided incredible context, explaining the history of the ""Umbrella Pulldown Market"" and how the floating market communities live. The private tour meant we could linger where we wanted. The moment that train horn blows and the market springs into action is something I'll never forget. Absolutely recommend.
Top-tier experience from beginning to end! Our tour guide, Nok, was friendly, funny, and personable. She shared a lot of good info about Thai culture, which helped make the long car ride fly by. When we stopped at the Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Nok went above and beyond to ensure we had a safe, memorable, and fun time. I couldn't imagine visiting either site without her. If you want to see either of these attractions, book this tour and ask for Nok!
This tour is highly recommended, one of the highlites of our holiday in Thailand. If you are planning to do this tour, ask for Som, (Miss orange in Thai), she was our tour guide. She is fluent in English and knows the tour really well. From the time she picked us up at our hotel until the tour ended, we are like one family. She really looked after us, took our photos at the right place and right time. The opportunity of riding the train, watch the train go pass at the railway market, ride the boat to the floating market, eat the best coconut ice cream, mango and sticky rice is one of the best experience my wife and I will never forget and consider as an experience of a lifetime. At the end of the tour, we asked Som to drop us off in one of the shopping malls which she politely obliged and even showed us how to get back to our hotel either by boat or taxi. We are so happy we did this tour. Khaawp khun khrap Som🙏❤️👍. Jessie & Norma Sydney, Australia🇦🇺
We had the absolute pleasure of spending an 8-hour tour with Katie, and she truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, Katie was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful — especially with my elderly mother, who has limited mobility and requires extra assistance. Katie cared for her as if she were part of her own family. At the floating market, she impressed us even more. She handled the tricky getting-in and getting-out of the boat with such care, patience, and confidence that my mom felt completely safe the entire time. It’s not easy navigating those areas, but Katie made it look effortless. Beyond her professionalism, Katie is genuinely fun to be around — funny, light-hearted, and always full of positive energy. She kept us entertained throughout the day while sharing great insights, interesting facts, and stories about the places we visited. Her ability to educate and entertain at the same time is such a rare gift. Katie also surprised us by buying local snacks along the way for us to try — such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more special. This was one of the best tours our family has ever taken, and Katie played a huge part in that. Anyone visiting should be so lucky to have her as their guide. Highly, highly recommended!
Excellent experience! Relaxed schedule, no rushing at all. The guide was humorous, the car was super cool, and we always had cold water. Great value and fantastic photo spots!
Our tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Guide Bee's English was excellent, and they made the day fun with their humor and positive energy. The vehicle was comfortable with strong air-conditioning, which was perfect for a hot day. We also appreciated the cold drinking water provided throughout the trip. What impressed us most was how well the guide knew the perfect spots for taking photos at both Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Thanks to them, we got so many amazing shots! It was a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting these markets.
