Things to do in Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

This was a very special trip. The tour guide provided explanations in both Chinese and English and was very dedicated. Because the new highway was open, we arrived at Maeklong Railway Market 30 minutes early. If we had arrived early, we should have had more time for a meal, so we didn't have extra time to eat. We saw the train at 11:00 AM and had to board at 11:20 AM. We arrived at the floating market around noon. The original plan was to leave at 3:00 PM, but the guide said we had to leave at 2:00 PM so everyone could use the restroom. We returned to the starting point around 4:00 PM, an hour earlier than expected. We could only wander around the area. As soon as we got on the bus, the guide informed us that tips were not included, so it was up to us whether to tip or not 😂😂😂. This tour was very unique, and it would have been more interesting with a bit more time to explore, but it felt like the guide was very rushed.

The guides; Bank & Jimmy are superb. explained in details what to expect, do's & don't of each location. funny and educational. Driver Mr T made the journey smooth and safe. time allocated for each location is sufficient. Made it back to drop off point near 4pm and we took the 0830 am tour.

Pick up was punctual, driver is professional. great experience indeed.

We had a great time and so much fun with Mr Coconut! it was a half day tour and he explained everything and took so many photos of us. Definitely recommended. he’s a good tour guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Husband and I had so much fun and learning in this trip. And our tour guide, Miss Nok is a pro. Very warm, accommodating, and can converse both in English and in Mandarin. This is a must-try for first-timers visiting Thailand. Kkawphunka!!

I was pair up with the guide Champ and he was attentive, patience, helpful and funny. made the tour quite a lovely experience. I left my phone at one of the cafes and he had a Grab drop it off at my hotel. helped with taking pictures and shared some of the history of Thailand - the floating Market and the cafes. offered helpful suggestions of how to bargain with the locals in the Market. the only thing that could've improved was the weather... I was literally soaked in sweat by the time we finished, you will definitely need a fan on the go, don't chance a heat stroke trying to look cool 🙃 Met a lovely couple from Australia who made the experience a touch better, overall don't hesitate to book even as a solo traveler! just bring enought cash, water and a fan... there are no ATMs near the locations we went. used most of my cash in the first two markets like a dummy 😂

It was a nice experience though the original itinerary was not followed, we weren't able to go to the restaurant to no power supply during our tour so we went back to Maeklong Railway to had our lunch there. But it was a nice and enjoyable experience. I want to commend our bus driver and our tour guide Ms. Evelyn, she was very knowledgeable and she even gave us tips especially before we reached the floating market. 😁

I just want to give a big shout-out to our tour guide, MJ! He’s so funny, approachable, and full of energy! He really made the tour more fun and memorable. It was my first time trying this tour as a Filipino and even though it wasn’t exactly what I expected, I still had a good experience! Huge thanks to MJ for taking amazing photos and for the free buko juice and coconut ice cream! 🥥🍦 Highly recommend MJ as tour guide! You can really feel his passion and energy. Keep up the great work, MJ, and thank you for making the experience enjoyable!🙏🏻🙌🏻

Our tour guide was Jack, we have learned a lot with him during the tour about history of Thailand. And he recommend delicious Thai food during our lunch. I recommend to book this tour when you go to Thailand.
