Excursão de um dia ao Mercado Flutuante de Damnoen Saduak e ao Mercado Ferroviário de Maeklong

Our guide, Ms. Kusuma, spoke excellent Japanese and provided very clear explanations. Both the Railway Market and the Floating Market have their own historical backgrounds, and we gained a good understanding of the differences between the past and present, as well as the feelings of the people living there. I realized that seeing things after receiving an explanation is a completely different experience than just looking. Ms. Kusuma also informed us in advance about the items sold and their prices. At the Railway Market, she helped us secure good photo spots so we wouldn't be overshadowed by taller foreigners, allowing us to take many great pictures. Furthermore, Ms. Kusuma took many photos of us herself, so we have many family pictures and wonderful memories. The tour ran from about 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and included the Railway Market -> Floating Market -> Lunch (self-paid) -> Buffalo Cafe (self-paid). At the Floating Market, the boat doesn't stop unless you tell the driver, and it didn't feel like a place for shopping, so if you want to buy souvenirs, the Railway Market is better. We also had about 20 minutes of free time. For lunch, she reserved a restaurant that supposedly had the only air conditioning, where we enjoyed delicious Pad Thai and fried rice for about 160 baht. With a drink, about 200 baht per person would be sufficient. If we couldn't finish our drinks, they provided a free tote bag. At the Buffalo Cafe, we had delicious ice cream for 69 baht. There were various flavors, and we chose coconut milk, blueberry yogurt, and passion fruit sherbet. The 90 baht cakes also looked delicious. The only reason for giving 4 stars for the transfer quality is that the car's air conditioning was weak, making it a bit hot. While I don't like it to be too cold, the air conditioning was lukewarm and weak, so it was a little warm. Overall, I wouldn't say it's particularly cost-effective (I'd be happier if it were a bit cheaper), but considering that a Japanese-speaking guide accompanies you to the suburbs, secures a dining spot, and you can leave everything to them, I am very satisfied. My family also said it was very good, which made me happy. If you're going to Thailand but haven't made plans yet, I highly recommend trying this tour. You can experience a different atmosphere from Bangkok. Ms. Kusuma also shared many things that only locals would know, such as information about the Thai language and schools, which made our conversations enjoyable ^_^ Thank you so much for a truly memorable and fun time.

We had an amazing experience on this day tour! Everything was very well-organized, and the entire trip went so smoothly from start to finish. A huge shoutout to our tour guides—they were the best! They were funny, entertaining, and kept everyone engaged throughout the journey. They also shared interesting information about each destination, gave helpful travel tips, and recommended the best local foods to try, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Our bus driver also deserves recognition. He was very kind, always greeted us with a smile, and made us feel welcome every time we got on and off the bus. It’s the little things like that that made the tour even more memorable. Highly recommend this Klook tour to anyone visiting Thailand. Thank you to the amazing guides and our wonderful driver for making our trip fun, comfortable, and unforgettable! 💗

Amazing experience! The staff were very accommodating and made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Watching the train at Maeklong Railway Market was unforgettable, and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market was vibrant and fun. The coconut ice cream was so refreshing, and the authentic Thai food nearby was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

Our female tour guide was excellent; not only did she clearly explain the key details in both English and Chinese, but the experience was so good that you would definitely want to come back if given the chance to go on a similar tour. Keep it up for her…🙏🏻🙂

This trip is so awesome! Also the Maeklong Railway and Floating Market. And the tour guide “Chicky” is kind and explains about the culture. 5 stars ⭐️ for us, surely we will book with One Asia again next time when we come back to Bangkok.

I think this price with a Japanese-speaking guide is excellent. This time, we were lucky enough to have a private tour with Japanese support just for my husband and me. Our guide, Kusuma, was fluent in Japanese, knowledgeable, and above all, a wonderful and very considerate person. Since my husband and I rarely take photos together, she skillfully took many pictures of us at various spots, and we enjoyed having breakfast together. I highly recommend participating in the Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market, as they offer unique Thai experiences. After the tour, she also gave us advice for our subsequent sightseeing, making it a very enjoyable day. Thanks to Kusuma, I've grown to love Thailand even more, and I hope to see her again next time! It was reassuring to know that there was a hotel near the meeting point, so we could use the restroom before joining. This tour is truly highly recommended.

I booked the tour around 8 PM the day before and joined the 7:30 AM meeting tour. I arrived at the meeting point around 7:00 AM, but there were benches available, so I could sit and wait. Once on the bus, I received water, a wet towel, and a chocolate chip cookie. There was one English-speaking guide and one Japanese-speaking guide, and they took turns explaining things on the bus. Contrary to the tour schedule, we visited the Railway Market, then the Floating Market, and finally the Buffalo Cafe. The scene at the Railway Market was breathtaking, something you would never see in Japan. At the Floating Market, after sightseeing by motorboat, we got back on the bus and viewed the Floating Market from the ground. The boats were so densely packed that they bumped into each other several times, which made me quite anxious, but the locals seemed unfazed. I think it's a great advantage to be able to visit hard-to-reach places all at once, leave luggage other than valuables on the bus, and sleep during bus transfers. Japanese tours often incur additional charges, but this one was the same price as the English tour and included the Floating Market ticket, so I felt it was good value for money. However, there was less on-site guiding than I expected, and at the Floating Market, only tourists rode the boats. For those who always want a guide, a private tour might be a better option.

Our tour guide was Bamboo! He is very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour was not boring as he had a lot of information and also suggested places to visit in Bangkok. We were also given water, snacks, and cold wet wipes to freshen up.

I participated alone on a holiday. I was a bit anxious because it was a small tour with Japanese participants and I was the only solo traveler, but I enjoyed it without any problems at all. Our guide, Kusuma, was always attentive to everyone, and the other participants were also kind, so I felt at ease. The explanations and answers to questions in Japanese were very natural, which gave me a sense of security even though it was my first trip to Thailand. On the bus, I enjoyed the travel time as I learned various facts about Thailand and local stories. It was also helpful that she informed us in advance about the toilet facilities at the next stop. Since some places might have traditional facilities, I think it's reassuring for those who are concerned to use the restroom when the announcement is made. At the market, she helped me adjust the quantity when buying fruit, allowing me to enjoy local produce without difficulty even as a solo traveler. Lunch was also eaten in a cool, calm place, so I could get around comfortably even in the heat. Traffic around Bangkok seems to be heavy during weekday rush hours, but since I participated on a holiday, we were able to move smoothly without getting caught in major traffic jams. It was great to efficiently visit places like the Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market, which are a bit difficult to access individually. Important points to note are not to miss the meeting place and time. If you want to see a place a little further away, it's best to ask the guide for confirmation. Also, since you'll be taking a boat at the Floating Market, it might be reassuring for those who get seasick to have motion sickness medication just in case. It was a highly satisfying tour that even solo travelers can enjoy with peace of mind. I highly recommend it.

We visited during peak Summer in Thailand and would recommend joining the earliest timeslot tour. The transfer coach was clean and comfortable whilst minimal traffic in the early hours. There was ample time at each location to take photos, shop and eat!
