The Best Of Damnoen Saduak (Floating) & Maeklong (Railway) Market

Unfortunately, we were very dissatisfied with both the tour operator and Viator’s handling of our situation. Our family became ill after dinner the night before our scheduled tour, and we contacted both Viator support and the tour operator as soon as possible to explain and request a reschedule. Instead of showing understanding or offering any flexibility, the operator was unhelpful and dismissive, even going so far as to blame our family for getting sick. There was no empathy, accommodation, or effort to work with us despite this being an unexpected health issue affecting multiple family members. We understand policies exist, but the lack of compassion and professionalism made this a very disappointing experience. Based on how this was handled, we would not recommend this vendor, especially for families traveling together who may need reasonable support if unforeseen circumstances arise.

Lucky was absolutely fabulous, good sense of humour too which made the day quite enjoyable! The markets were bustling and busy, but she made sure we got to see what we came for and everyone was safe at the end of the day Highly recommend this tour!

My 14 yr old son and I had an absolute blast! I wasn’t sure what to expect but this tour exceeded all of my expectations! We made 3 stops - train market, coconut factory, and the floating market - each stop was great. Our guide was helpful, knowledgeable, and gave us insight as to how to bargain! He was patient and let us go at exactly our speed. The driver was fabulous too - with a nice and air conditioned van, my son and I both napped on the way back to Bangkok! I highly recommend this tour!

What a actioned packed day. The market is a must-see. The place was buzzing with energy, and the canals were packed with vendors selling all kinds of fresh fruits, snacks, and cool souvenirs. Riding a paddle boat through the market was super fun and included. It gave us an up-close look at everything, and we felt right in the middle of all the action. The vendors were really friendly and had some tasty treats for us to try, like pad thai and mango sticky rice. I highly recommend the cashew nut ice cream and the fresh mango to start off The scenery was beautiful, with traditional houses lining the canals. It was awesome to see how the locals live and shop. The whole experience was so unique and memorable. If you're in Bangkok, definitely check out the tour and a big thanks to the guide Natt who was excellent and so informative.

This is a must-do especially if you're only in Bangkok during the week. We were shocked to find that the Floating Market in Bangkok is only on weekends, so this experience came in clutch as it runs all week long! You can't not go to Thailand without trying the floating market at least once and this provided that opportunity for us. The thrill of riding a boat and haggling over prices was priceless! Be sure to bargain!! We scored great deals, while having an ice cream on a coconut! Just be sure to bring cash as not all vendors accept card, and if they do, there's a charge. Fees add up and both you and vendors end up losing. I won't dock the score, but I do wish the tour was a wee bit longer as there are times where we felt rushed. But again, I can't expect too much from a half-day tour. For the price, it was all worth it. Our tour guide was helpful and knowledgeable. His name escapes me, but he even helped us ask one of the boat drivers to let us take a solo picture on the boat. The bus was also great; it was comfy and the AC was nice! A nice little bonus was the tour of the coconut plantation. It was great to see local craftspeople showing the many uses of coconut. It was also a great opportunity to see an authentic Thai household. Pro-tip: try not to buy the souvenirs at this stop as you can find many of those same things at the market and for lower price.

We had such a fun time visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market! The whole experience felt so unique and authentic, like stepping back in time. Riding along in a paddle boat was amazing—you get to see all the stalls up close and even chat with some of the vendors. There were so many cool things to see and try, from fresh fruit to handmade crafts, and of course, some delicious street food! Our guide Ms Nok was super friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories about the market’s history and helping us navigate the bustling waterways. It was a fantastic way to experience a real piece of Thai culture. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok

Our tour guide, driver, and trip were well done. Fantastic people and tour from them both. Very clean, friendly and timely.

Lucky was very informative. The market was an awesome experience. Thank you lucky for a great your..

This was a great tour to explore the floating market tradition. The pit stop on the way at the coconut farm and traditional Thai house is a nice touch too. Joom, our travel guide for the day was excellent. She was courteous, accomodating and helpful. She knew the details well and allowed us sufficie to time without being pushy anywhere. She also made good lunch recommendations and helped us with arranging vegan food. Overall a nice tour and worth the money. It's a bonus if Joom is assigned as the tour guide. Rashmi & Sunuj

The coconut farm was beautiful Me and my husband really enjoyed the flowing market as well. Our guide was wonderful showed up to the hotel on time and was such an amazing person.

It’s a very busy market and many boats competing to get through. It would be great to have less of gasoline powered boats … so bring your mask and arrive early. And keep your hands in the boat.

Great time and very professional from start to finish. 7am picked up in a really nice comfy van (perfect temp inside) a few coffee break stop along the way before we got the floating market. This have to be one of the best tour out of all the tours we did so far here in Bangkok. LOVE IT !!!

It was long & you definitely need bug spray. It was a cool tour and the tour guide was very informative.

Mindy was a great tour guide. Nice floating market tour snd the coconut factory was great also. Mindy was very good. Very good value for the price.

This tour was amazing! We had a pickup from our hotel that morning and got on our way with Moon (tour guide). It's about an hour drive to the floating market and you learn lots along the way.

Not to be missed when visiting Thailand. Gives one a glimpse into the local life. Tell your guide beforehand what items or food you'd want to buy so that she could make the necessary stops. We wanted the mango and rice and the coconut ice cream and she brought us to a great stall. Enjoyed my time at the market very much!

Damneon floating market is a must try experience in Bangkok. It is something different. Amazing experience. Thank you IAsiaThailand for a very wonderful tour. Thank you also to the accomodating tour guide Ms May. We have many questions and she willingly answers all of them. We love the food stalls there and also thee yummy fresh mango
