Overview

Our tour will bring you many eye-opening experiences. In Damnoen Saduak, you'll take a fun boat ride to explore the legendary floating market, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and discover unique products. You'll also visit a local coconut sugar farm to learn about the traditional process of making coconut sugar and see how salt farmers produce sea salt for cooking and skincare. At the "risky" market, we'll provide an insightful walking tour to witness the "Unseen Thailand" moments as sellers retract their stalls when the train approaches.

Itinerary

  • Bangkok

    Pickup from hotel and travel to Maeklong market.

  • Samut Sakhon

    The whitish salt field, not a rice field, of course. A special bonus tour for our guests who join our floating and railway market tour in 2020. This sea salt is produced by Thai local wisdom. The salt farmer will rotate the sea water in different levels matching the strength of wind and sunlight. The rotation will continue until the salt becomes a “salt mountain” which are ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture. On the Highway 35 in Samut Sakhorn province, our guide will lead you to rub the salt to your hand and take amazing photos!

    10 minutes

  • Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)

    The Railway Market is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! You will have fun riding a local train toward the Mae Klong station. While on this train, you will see the “Unseen-Thailand” experience. When the train signal rings up, the chaos will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stall and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all shop owners will resume their stalls again.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Coconut Sugar Farm

    You will observe how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar and palm sugar loaf. You will see a demonstration of coconut flower cutting, pouring the nectar into a bamboo container, putting preservation woods in the container, boiling up and pasteurizing the coconut nectar into the drinkable one. You will try squeezing coconut milk from coconut shell using a traditional Thai “rabbit-teeth” wooden machine.

    20 minutes

  • Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

    Join us for an unforgettable journey to the renowned Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, one of Thailand's most historic and captivating markets. Your adventure begins with an exhilarating motorboat ride, immersing you in the vibrant atmosphere that has thrived on these waters for over a century. Glide through bustling canals, where you'll witness a lively market brimming with colorful boats and friendly vendors. Sample mouthwatering Thai delicacies, from sweet mango sticky rice to freshly-made coconut ice cream and authentic Thai-style boat noodles. This tour perfectly blends culture, history, and culinary delights, making it a must-do for both Thai and international visitors. Come soak in the unique charm of Thailand's floating markets and create lasting memories!

Great Experience, would recommend.

We had an amazing experience in floating & railway market, coconut and salt farms. Lin and Kevin accompanied us and they were so pleasant and warm. We could explore new places and their guidance was great.we truly enjoyed every moment.

Best of thailand markets

Published on Dec, 2024

Lin and Kevin were absolutely amazing. We were a large group with a few seniors folks, both of them were extremely patient, kind and helpful. If you are taking this tour, take it only with Lin and Kevin! They will take good pictures, negotiate with vendors for you, take you to all good places and ensure you have the best of the time! They even make sure no one photo bombs you or pushes you around in an overtly crowded market! We made so many memories, thanks to them!

Trip of a lifetime

Published on Nov, 2024

Probably the best tour we have ever done. Lin and Kevin gave us a fantastic day. She was so informative and keen to teach us about her lovely country and people while Kevin gave us a very comfortable and safe drive. We loved the whole experience and Lin ensured we made the absolute most of our visit to the salt farm, train market, coconut farm and the floating market. She sent us some brilliant photos and video of our trip and was really helpful with directions for other sites in Bangkok. I can’t recommend her enough, it was brilliant

Terrific day

Published on Oct, 2024

Lin was a delightful guide and Kevin was a lovely driver. The day's adventure included more than we hoped for. Lin's enthusiasm for each stop along the way made the experience memorable.
