Immerse yourself in the vibrant markets of Thailand, from the unique railway market of Mae Klong to the renowned floating market of Damnoen Saduak. Witness the traditional production of coconut palm sugar and explore the picturesque rural landscapes along the way.
This is a seat-in-coach half-day tour departing every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with a minimum of 2 passengers
Appointment at the hotel reception and departure early in the morning towards the southwest of the country until reaching the small railway station of Ban Kalong, where on board the local train you reach the station of Mae Klong (about 1/2 hour), famous for the legendary market on the rails. The interesting aspect of the journey is both inside the train to observe the passengers composed of workers, students, monks, families, and farmers who get on and off the small stations with their goods, and outside, with the rural landscape and the numerous salt pans where salt extraction by evaporation is carried out using traditional methods.
Arrival at the small Mae Klong station where the sellers quickly move the goods from the tracks to let the train pass, and a walk in the market to take more photographs until the train’s departure, when all the goods are moved again to let the train through.
Continuation to a typical Thai house to witness all the processing of sugar extracted from coconut palms.
Departure for Damnoen Saduak, where the most famous floating market in Thailand is located. Arrive at the pier and board a rowboat, through a dense network of canals, to meet the itinerant vendors engaged in their daily activities, with their boats full of fruit, vegetables, tea, fish, meat, freshly prepared food, and souvenirs.
Free time to visit the market and return to Bangkok.
