I received many questions related to my 5-week trip in Thailand so I decided to start slowly writing a bit more about that and the different amazing things you can see in Thailand. This time I want to share with you an absolute must-do day trip from Bangkok &#8211; the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div>If you&#8217;re looking for a unique and unforgettable experience, then this is the trip for you! Located just a short drive from Bangkok, these two markets are the perfect way to experience the local culture and cuisine. And this is for real one of the activities you can\u2019t really replace in many other places, these 2 markets are a real highlight of the area.<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p>The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a vibrant and bustling market where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to handmade crafts and souvenirs &#8211; all while floating on boats along the canal. It&#8217;s truly a sight to behold, and the perfect place to sample some of the delicious local food.<\/p><div>The Maeklong Railway Market on the other hand, which is quite literally located right on the train tracks. The market vendors set up their stalls along the railway line, and when the train comes through, they quickly move their goods out of the way, only to set them back up again once the train has passed. It&#8217;s a thrilling and unique experience that you won&#8217;t want to miss!<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><p>Overall, the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market day trip is a perfect way to spend a day outside of Bangkok, immersing yourself in the local culture and experiencing something truly unique. So pack your bags, grab your camera, and let&#8217;s go through some of my tips &amp; tricks!<br \/><br \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6badce6 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6badce6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-488b874\" data-id=\"488b874\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-954fb9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"954fb9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-white ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick links<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.costinbusioc.com\/en\/damnoen-saduak-maeklong-railway\/#Are_these_the_only_markets_of_their_kind\" >Are these the only markets of their kind?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.costinbusioc.com\/en\/damnoen-saduak-maeklong-railway\/#What_are_the_options_to_see_the_markets_from_Bangkok\" >What are the options to see the markets from Bangkok?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.costinbusioc.com\/en\/damnoen-saduak-maeklong-railway\/#How_was_exploring_the_markets_by_being_part_of_a_tour\" >How was exploring the markets by being part of a tour?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_these_the_only_markets_of_their_kind\"><\/span>Are these the only markets of their kind? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4453523 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4453523\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb0256b\" data-id=\"eb0256b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c499a69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c499a69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Markets are just a part of Thailand\u2019s culture. Any place, city, or remote area you visit while there, you will certainly receive recommendations to include one specific market on your itinerary. Damnoen Saduak and Maeklong Railway are not the only ones of their kind. There are a few more floating markets, actually a few of them in the Bangkok area as well, some of which are actually a bit more \u201crecommended\u201d in order to get a less crowded and more traditional experience compared to the most popular Damnoen Saduak. <\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>On the other hand, Maeklong Railway is by far the real experience of its kind. The two markets are quite close to each other, and you can easily see them both on the same day, so it makes perfect sense to go for both of them. They are popular, crowded, and touristy, but they&#8217;re worth it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5940bc0\" data-id=\"5940bc0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af84d78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"af84d78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ck8U8DsyE-r\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Since the Maeklong Railway market is really on the train line, you can actually arrive there by train. However, keep in mind that this means you would see the market from the train and not from the baseline, which is the most impressive option. I studied this option, but the train schedule, the changes required to get from Bangkok there, and then paying for a taxi to go to Damnoen Saduak seemed like quite an overhead, especially because we needed to be back in Bangkok before 17-18. The next two options are not that expensive, so I would honestly suggest forgetting about this option as it\u2019s not worth it.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

This also depends on your negotiation skills, as negotiation is part of experiencing Thailand, but I would not expect less than $60. Some companies charge more depending on the group size (2, 3, 4 people), even though there&#8217;s still one car (once again, negotiate). If you go for this option, be super careful when you go to Damnoen Saduak. As I mentioned, this market lives on water, so it\u2019s a must-do to experience it by boat. It\u2019s a common practice for these types of \u201cprivate drivers\u201d to take you to the wrong public\/starting point of the Damnoen Saduak boat trip, where locals charge you a lot of money to take you on the boat trip (I heard stories for more than $100). <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Be super careful about that and act super confident when the driver tries to fool you. The boat trips should not cost more than $15 if you&#8217;re taken to the right starting point of the market.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><br><\/p><p>The third option is joining a guided tour, which comes with clear advantages and disadvantages. In this case, the disadvantages are that you can\u2019t really make your own schedule and you\u2019re part of a bigger group. The advantages are that you don\u2019t have to deal with any preparation and everything is already planned. I\u2019m not a big fan of guided tours, just because I want to enjoy the time myself, plan my photo sessions and go to the key points of interest to me instead of a tour itinerary. I made an exception in this case however, just because this day was planned during a busy time in my trip and I didn\u2019t have enough time to study in depth the foods, the snacks and the details of interest to me, so it was the perfect chance to find out more from a local guide. Also, the two markets are busy and touristy in general so you would anyway visit them alongside many people in the market itself, the idea of the \u201ctour\u201d is more about the bus ride itself + the information you get from a guide. And honestly, the price was super fair and for 2 people, cheaper than hiring a private driver. Now let me tell you more about the tour itself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/pGzeEoEP\">klook<\/a> app for different tours. You can find so many diverse tours and it\u2019s a great starting point for seeing some baseline prices and the different options available. For this specific trip I went with the tour <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/a0vx8V3J\">here<\/a>, which I\u2019ll be detailing below. Quick tip, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.klook.com\/invite\/EAK4LH?c=USD\">here<\/a>\u2019s a link to get 5$ for your first trip on klook when you create your account. To get the biggest benefit, I recommend each member of your trip uses this so that you get the maximum discount possible wink wink.<\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<div>Now back to the tour itself. It started at 7:00 in Bangkok, with a meeting point near one of the malls in Bangkok. It was super easy to find as there was a lady holding a Klook sign. We first drove about two hours to Damnoen Saduak. During this time, the guide was amazingly friendly and well-prepared and told us a lot of stories about the history of the place, the geography around, and the different foods to try in the markets. Once in Damnoen Saduak, we waited in a small private water house with some coconut water and baby bananas. That\u2019s where the boat trip started. The nice thing was that this water house was quite far from the market itself, and it required a 15-minute ride on the water to the market. This was the perfect chance to see less crowded and hidden canals, locals in their real life, and traditional houses on the river, and prepare the cameras. Each boat was hosting 7-8 people plus the driver. I suggest trying to get the places in front of the boat for the best view and pictures. After the 15-minute boat ride through the canals, we reached the market itself. You basically pass every seller and shop, and any time someone on the boat wants to stop for something, the driver would stop so you can get the snack, meal, or souvenir everybody wants. We stayed for about 30 minutes on the water in the market. The ride itself was included in the tour price so I would say it\u2019s been a decent deal.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>After exploring the boat by water, we were parked somewhere in the market which gave us the opportunity to explore it for 20-25 minutes on the actual ground. There are some vendors that sell things in a more stable environment, with access to the water, but not really on a boat, basically. We grabbed one more quick snack (one of the spiciest meals I had while in Thailand actually) and some last-minute souvenirs. The souvenirs are quite generic, I would say. Most of the things you will find here are overpriced for the area, and you will surely find them in other places in Thailand as well. I would try negotiating anything you find there (in terms of souvenirs).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

in time for passing the market. The market is like a last stop for the train, making it pass 8 times through the market: 4 times each way:<\/p><ul><li>Train Arrival times: 8.30 a.m., 11.10 a.m., 2.30 p.m. and 5.40 p.m.<\/li><li>Train Departure times: 6.20 a.m., 9.00 a.m., 11.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m.<\/li><\/ul><p>We arrived at the market at 10:50 which was just perfect. We initially went to the ending side of the market and waited for the train to come. Find a good spot and stick to it, it\u2019s worth it! Once the train stopped, you could go and climb it for a \u201ctouristy\u201d picture. The train arrived at 11:10 and it was planned to leave at 11:30. After the parked train picture, I recommend going to the other side of the market by super easily going along the train line. This is a short 5 minute journey. Why so? Because this gives you the chance to see the train from the other side as well and enjoy both angles. They are both nice and the experience is similar, the ending side of the market has a few more vendors with vegetables right on the train line, whereas on the other side there\u2019s mostly small restaurants and souvenir stores that close, but you won\u2019t really see food on the line. Once the train left, we had 1 more hour of free time in the market to try some local food and look for a meal. I tried different snacks, bought some pants that you will see at every single tourist while in Thailand haha and had a real meal at one of the small restaurants in the area.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
