Maeklong Railway Market and Floating Market

Unlike traditional markets, the Maeklong Railway Market is set up directly on the train tracks. Vendors display their goods such as fresh seafood, fruits, vegetables, and other local products right on the ground where the train passes through. As the train approaches, vendors quickly retract their awnings and move their goods to make way for the train. It's a thrilling and unusual sight to see a bustling market transform into a clear path for a passing train within seconds. Recommend : The early morning trip 5.50 am and 6.30 am will be less tourist and more time at both market

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!

The floating market and railway market were fun, a must see if you want to see a little bit more of Thailand without going too far away from Bangkok. Seeing the vendors to move their stuff when the train arrived was awesome. It was not a five-star experience because although we purchased a tour that included the hotel pick up and drop off, it did not happen. We were asked to meet at the meeting point and been dropped off at the same spot.

Had a good day at the train and floating market. Our guide was Sara and she was so lovely! She told us many stories about the history of Thailand and even taught us some words in the Thai language. Wish we had some more time at the train market though. There were so many things to see there! It was a really hot day, but the tour offered some cold water which was very nice. Sara definitely made the tour more enjoyable.
