2.The Old Siam: Damnoen Saduak and Maeklong Railway Market

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10,992 reviews · 7 hours · from $32

See Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak by paddleboat on a 7-hour day trip from Bangkok with included water and guide.

“This was a great and memorable experience enjoyed by the entire family. Riding the train to Maeklong station really gave an authentic view of life in Thailand. Seeing the actual train market in person and how tightly packed the shops are along the train tracks is mind blowing. The floating market was definitely the highlight of the tour. Getting in the boat and seeing all the boats fight and tussle for pole position was awesome. Although I haven’t been around the world I truly feel that the floating market is something that can only be experience in Thailand. Lastly, the icing on the cake was our tour guide Khun Jun.…”
