Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Located in the outskirts of Bangkok, this is one of the most popular floating markets, offering a glimpse into the bustling river filled with vendors on their boats, creating the classic Thai image. It's a must-visit attraction in Thailand, where you can take a traditional paddle boat and enjoy shopping from vendors while indulging in food and drinks on the boat. For authentic market enthusiasts, this tour covers three major markets: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Amphawa Floating Market, and Maeklong Railway Market, ensuring you don't miss out on any of these vibrant market experiences.

• Maeklong Railway Market
  

A must-visit market that draws hordes of tourists. You absolutely have to experience the visual spectacle of the "train running through a traditional market." Watching the train approach the station ever so slowly while the vendors at Maeklong Railway Market calmly and skillfully fold up their stalls and sun umbrellas is a sight to behold. Once the train departs, they nonchalantly return to their daily routines as if nothing happened. Amidst the ever-changing scenery and breathing in the air of Thailand, we take the train, where you can stick your head and hands out, as it slowly departs. The astonishingly quick vegetable packing and the coordinated closing of rain canopies and sun umbrellas by the vendors leave you in awe. When the train enters the market with less than 10cm of clearance on either side, it's a truly unique and magical experience unlike any other in the world.

• Amphawa Floating Market
  

Amphawa Floating Market is situated along the banks of the river, where vendors cook food on their boats, providing a unique dining experience for visitors by the riverside. It's particularly charming to enjoy snacks or seafood by the riverside as the sun sets. On both sides of the river, you'll find various specialty cafes, souvenir shops, and clothing boutiques for you to explore to your heart's content. As night falls, you can even opt for a boat ride to watch fireflies, creating a romantic atmosphere.

• Tree-in-the-Midst Temple & Muay Thai Park
  

The Tree-in-the-Midst Temple is one of Thailand's top ten miraculous temples. It has a history of over a hundred years and is surrounded by a Bodhi tree. Legend has it that during the battle against the Burmese army, King Taksin the Great of Thailand came to this temple to seek enlightenment from Lord Buddha himself. Following his visit, King Taksin's army emerged victorious, and he established the Third Thai Dynasty. Since then, the Tree-in-the-Midst Temple has become a beloved place for Thai people to come and offer prayers and seek blessings.

On the other side, it is said to be the training ground of King Taksin's army, and today, it features various sculptures depicting Thai martial arts. This area is known as the Muay Thai Park. The sculptures display different postures and appearances, each unique in its own way. Visitors can mimic the Thai boxing stances of these sculptures and take photos for memorable souvenirs.

• Vintage Coconut Sugar Factory
  

When it comes to Thai fruits, many people enjoy a refreshing coconut to beat the heat. We will take you to a traditional coconut sugar factory where you can experience the fun of climbing coconut trees and learn about the process of making coconut sugar.
