What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Damnoun Saduak, Ratchaiburi, Damnoen Saduak 70130 Thailand
The Floating Market of Damnoen Saduak is among one of the most attractive floating markets in Thailand. Motor boat rides are already included in your tour! Many Thai and foreign tourists come here to absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years. At this floating market, you can try a number of delicious Thai fruits and foods such as sweet mango on sticky rice, freshly-made coconut icecream, and Thai-style boat noodle.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub), Si Champa Alley, Mae Klong 75000 Thailand
The Railway Market is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! You will have fun riding a local train toward the Mae Klong station. While on this train, you will see the “Unseen-Thailand” experience. When the train signal rings up, the chaos will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stall and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all shop owners will resume their stalls again.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Coconut Sugar Farm, 296 Dumnoen Saduak Tambon Damnoen Saduak, Damnoen Saduak Thailand
Visit a coconut sugar farm near Damnoen Saduak floating market. At this factory, you will learn how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar. You will see a demonstration of coconut flower cutting, pouring the nectar into a bamboo container, putting preservation woods in the container, boiling up and pasteurizing the nectar into the drinkable one. This will be your eye-opening experience!
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Samut Sakhon, Samut Sakhon, Samut Sakhon Province
The whitish salt field, not a rice field, of course. A special bonus tour for our guests who join our floating and railway market tour in 2020. This sea salt is produced by Thai local wisdom. The salt farmer will rotate the sea water in different levels matching the strength of wind and sunlight. The rotation will continue until the salt becomes a “salt mountain” which are ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture. On the Highway 35 in Samut Sakhorn province, our guide will lead you to rub the salt to your hand and take amazing photos!
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Erawan Waterfalls, Moo 4 Tha Kradan, Erawan National Park 71250 Thailand
Erawan Waterfall is recognized as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand. The major attraction of the park is the 7-tiered Erawan Falls with emerald green ponds. Erawan has seven separate tiers spanning approximately 1, 500 meters through the thick rainforest of the park. The park are named after "Erawan", the three-headed white elephant of Hindu mythology. The top tier of the falls is said to resemble an elephant head. Admission fee for foreigners are included in your tour.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: River Kwai Bridge, Maenam Kwai Road, Tha Makham 71000 Thailand
Thanks to several films and books, the Bridge over the River Kwai has become famous and attracted both Thais and foreigners to the site. If an ordinary black iron bridge can tell a story, you can be sure it's a dramatic one. The bridge has steel plates over the ties to make it easy to walk over the span. There are also viewing platforms between the trestles to give you a view of the river as well as to give you a place to get out of the way if you're on the bridge when a train comes. You will have a delicious lunch at a raft restaurant near the River Kwai Bridge.
Duration: 20 minutes

Excellent day tour! Be prepared for an action packed day! We loved the train markets and the floating markets. Our lovely tour guide took us on an amazing train ride with locals too. She taught us a lot about Thai culture. The car was comfortable and clean, and the driver nice too. We deliberately chose not to pet tigers or elephants, and our guide was understanding. My advice would be to take your time at the floating markets especially! Look and be prepared to eat all the yummy food on the way.Our tour guide was called pop.

Our tour guide was called pop. She is a very passionate and thoughtful guide who goes above and beyond our expectations of the tour. She is a very kind, fun and friendly person. Pop gave us well thought out recommendations to enhance and cater towards our interests. If you are a foodie, you will definitely get along well with pop. She loves treating us to her favourite food spots. Pop had saved us from completely getting ripped off by merchants at the floating market. Our driver was patient and friendly who had always greeted us with a smile and would open doors for us as well as offer umbrellas on rainy days. I can not recommend this tour enough. I just hope you get pop and her driver as hosts.Fantastic experience. Pop was so engaging and funny and very knowledgeable. She treated us like royalty. Highly recommend.

My tour guide, Lin, was a wonderful guide, she explained how the Railroad market works and got to see from both prospectives; riding in on the train and from ground level as the train was leaving. As we were waiting to board the train, we stopped by the salt mines. Lin explained the process and walked out in the fields to get a closer view. We stopped at a coconut plantation and got to see them making coconut sugar and try samples! Lin explained the process, it was both fascinating and yummy! Lastly, we went to the floating markets, it was as if we went back in time as we rode thru the canal seeing where people lived and the markets along the canals from the water and along the river banks. Lin made sure I tried the coconut ice and pancakes, ypu won’t want to pass them up! Lin went out of her way to recommend sights to see in Bangkok during the remainder of my stay. Lin is very knowledgeable about the history of Thailand and told me interesting stories during the drive to help pass the time. I highly recommend this tour with Lin!
