Damnoen Saduak Floating Market චාරිකා

Our tour guides, Bamboo and Aim, were very friendly and provided useful travel information for Wuchiu, such as the 1155 tourist dispute hotline, which has tourism police who speak both Chinese and English and are available 24/7 to handle disputes and assist with reporting incidents. The journey was quite smooth, so motion sickness was unlikely. There were also charging ports on the tour bus (though I'm not sure if every bus has them). Our 9:30 AM tour returned to the meeting point around 5:00 PM, and luckily, we didn't encounter any traffic. We arrived at the Maeklong Railway Market around 10:50 AM in late August, just in time to see the train arrive at 11:10 AM and depart at 11:30 AM. Items sold on both sides of the tracks were a bit pricey; you can find cheaper vendors if you walk towards the main road. At the Floating Market, we were assigned to a boat with six people. The boat constantly stopped at stalls where vendors tried to sell us things, but the prices were high. Unless you specifically want the experience, I don't recommend buying anything. Our guide thoughtfully warned us about this before we even got off the bus and also shared reasonable bargaining ranges for different areas. After disembarking at the Floating Market, there was time for lunch. The last stop, the Buffalo Restaurant, only offered coffee, desserts, and ice cream, not full meals. We spent about an hour at each of the two main locations and half an hour at the Buffalo Restaurant. Overall, I felt it was a very worthwhile trip and highly recommend it.

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.

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 😂

අද අපි දුම්රිය මාර්ගය සහ පාවෙන වෙළඳපොළ සංචාරයට ගියා. සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා වූ "ටූ" ඇත්තෙන්ම හොඳ, සුහදශීලී සහ ඉතා විනෝදකාමී අයෙක්. රියදුරුත් හොඳයි. සංචාරයත් විශිෂ්ටයි. අපි බෝ ගසක් ඇතුළත පිහිටි පන්සලකටත් ගියා. ඒ වගේම නොමිලේ තායි ඇඳුම් ඇඳීමට හැකි වූ අවන්හලක කෑම කෑවා. සංචාරක මාර්ගෝපදේශකයා වූ "ටූ", රියදුරු සහ මෙම සංචාරය ඉතාමත් නිර්දේශ කරනු ලැබේ.

P'Nok was an amazing tour guide. She was very attentive to making sure everyone was accounted for and assisted with any questions we had about anything. she had a great sense of humor that kept me laughing too. The tour itself was fun and worth the value paid. The bus was well cooled for us to escape the heat. I felt safe the entire time.

we really had fun in this travel. although the places to visit are too far from each point but the Elephant Park was the most amazing and chill activity here. Thanks for our tour guide and all the team who helped us.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
