Bangkok Maeklong Railway & Damnoen Sky Full-Day Tour with Longtail Boat

This was back in July 2023. Dameon Sadeuk's Floating Market and Mae Khlong Train Tour offer an enjoyable taste of Thai culture. The Floating Market bustles with vibrant energy, while the Mae Khlong Train ride adds an exciting twist. With comfortable transportation provided, it's a hassle-free way to explore and savor the essence of Thailand.

Due to insufficient number of people, we received a free upgrade and added a visit to the Elephant Park, but we had to gather one hour earlier at 8:30. The bus was very punctual. We arrived at the parking lot near Maeklong Railway Station before 10 o'clock. The tour leader thoughtfully bought us water and reminded us to use the free toilets in the parking lot. We need to pay 5 Thai dollars to use the toilets in Maeklong and the floating market. . You can watch the trains coming in and out at 11:10 and 11:30, take the boat at 12:00, have dinner at 1:00, set off to the nearby elephant park at 2:00, and stay until leaving at 3:00. An additional fee of 700 Thai dollars is required to ride an elephant, and a bucket of bananas fed to the elephants is 100 Thai dollars. For the final return trip, the bus can go back to Central World or icon siam and get off at 5 o'clock in the city center, a perfect trip.

The meeting location is easy to find. There were a total of 10 ppl in a van. As everyone arrived early, so we departed a bit earlier than scheduled which is fine. The planned itinerary was to the floating market first, but we actually went to the Railway Market first so I was a bit confused when we got off the van. Generally we are happy with the arrangement.

Our visit to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market was an incredible experience! Navigating through the bustling waterways of Damnoen Saduak, surrounded by colorful boats selling fresh produce and local goods, was like stepping into a vibrant postcard!

The floating market and railway market felt like a unique experience. The boat circled around and returned to the shore. Captain No. 19 kept introducing me along the way. He also invited me to eat bananas and introduced lemongrass leaves. The driver took the group back to the river and continued at their own expense. For lunch, mango sticky rice costs 60 pieces, and fried noodles and fried rice are very cheap. Sitting on the steps on the river bank and eating is a very sensory experience. The timing of the railway market is very good, you don’t have to wait for too long, the train passes by, a unique experience

the tour guide is friendly.. the floating market boat ride is fun.. eye opener for 1st timer.. the railway station is another eye opener when the train passed by.. we are so close to it.. abit scary though.. haha.. the food at the railway station is cheaper than the floating market.. coconut ice cream is cheap and good.. but the van is not so comfortable.. not for fussy or big size passengers maybe..

My original tour was one without a tour guide but couldn't start due to insufficient sign up. Got a free upgrade to join a tour with tour side & elephant camp. Tour guide Roger is very nice and gave brief instructions & tips on bargaining etc. Definitely a recommend tour when you are in BKK!

The driver is friendly and helpful. He can speak basic English, and it's enough to know how to do, what to do in the tour. Timing is exact. The long boat tour around night market is awesome, although touristy.

Purchasing tickets through the Klook app was a breeze! I was able to easily browse and compare different options for attractions, tours, and activities all in one place. Transportation by van was fine, quite far from the city.

the market was veryy interesting, if u want to nego with the floating market lady, pls be considerate or they’ll be mad🤣🤣🤣
