Private Tour to Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Robert_W, Mar 2026

“Tourist Attraction” or local experience?

The guide was friendly and on time. The driver was good, and the car nice and clean. The Train Market and the Floating Market were interesting but have now become mostly “tourist” attractions rather than truly local experiences.

Our tour guide Patty was great! We were in a group with 2 other families and got picked up at our hotel exactly on time. She knew all the shortcuts, clean bathrooms, and tips and tricks to get the perfect shot of the train. Patty always offered to take pictures and was always mindful of the children’s safety. She was efficient and even provided little snacks/treats. Give her a raise!

Half-Day Railway Market and Floating Market Tour in Thailand

Railway and Floating Markets

My expectations for this tour were low, but after the tour we both agreed this was a “not to be missed tour” to get an authentic look at Bangkok outside the city center. We’d recommend this to anyone going to Bangkok. The traffic is a bit congested, but well worth it. The train going through the market is something you need to experience along with the boat ride around the different vendors.
