Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market — Half Day Tour
Explore two of Thailand's most iconic attractions in one unforgettable morning — the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and the Maeklong Railway Market.
Begin your journey at the Maeklong Railway Market, famously known as the "Risky Market." Located directly on an active railway track, this vibrant local market offers one of Thailand's most thrilling sights — watch as vendors swiftly fold away their umbrellas and pull back their stalls just seconds before the train rolls through, then resume business as usual right after. It's a fascinating example of Thai adaptability and local charm.
Next, cruise through the legendary Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand's most famous and photogenic canal market. Commissioned by King Rama IV in the 19th century, the 32-kilometre man-made canal links the Mae Klong and Tha Chin rivers and supports over 200 smaller waterways. Explore the bustling canals aboard a traditional longtail boat, passing colourful wooden boats selling tropical fruits, Thai street food, handcrafted souvenirs and more. The market has gained international fame, appearing in films such as The Man with the Golden Gun (James Bond) and Bangkok Dangerous starring Nicolas Cage.
