Colors of Damnoen Saduak: The Ultimate Floating Market Tour

Our Damnoen Saduak Floating Market tour begins with a comfortable pickup from your Bangkok hotel at 7:00 AM. We travel by air-conditioned minivan to Ratchaburi province, where you will experience traditional markets, local waterways, and rural Thai life. Our first stop is the world-famous Maeklong Railway Market.

Vendors set up their stalls directly beside and across the active railway tracks. When a train approaches, they quickly retract their awnings and move their goods aside to let it pass. As soon as the train has gone, the market returns to normal. Watching this remarkable routine is a truly unique experience.

Exploring Canals and Plantations

After visiting the railway market, we continue to Damnoen Saduak. Here, we take a longtail boat through a maze of local canals that wind past traditional villages and lush plantations. We also visit a coconut plantation to see how local residents produce coconut sugar using traditional Thai methods.

After exploring the floating market and its surroundings, our bicycles are ready for the next part of the adventure. We cycle along quiet country roads and flat trails through the plantations. Depending on the season, you may see grapes, lychees, and pomelos ready to be harvested.

Cultural Highlights of the Mae Klong Delta

Along the route, we enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Mae Klong River. Afterward, we visit two remarkable temples. Wat Bang Kung dates back to the Ayutthaya period and is famous for its small chapel enclosed within the roots of a giant banyan tree.

Next, we visit Wat Bang Khae Noi, which was built in 1868. Its interior features impressive wood carvings depicting the life of Buddha. You will also see three life-sized wax statues of renowned Thai monks. This is our final stop before returning to Bangkok by minivan.
