BKK 09 Damnoen Saduak floating market + Train market

BKK09     Half Day Damnoen Saduak floating market + Train market

On the way to Damnoen Saduak floating market, a stop in Maeklong Railway Market (train market) will be made. What makes the market special is that it occupies part of a train line. A few times a day, and before the train runs through the market, vendors lower their umbrellas and move some of their produce away from the train tracks and as soon as the train passes, the vendors move their goods back onto the tracks and continue as normal (until the next train arrives).

Visit Damnoen Saduak floating market, the most popular floating market in Thailand. A trip to this Thai phenomenon is like traveling back to the ancient times of the Siam Kingdom, where colorful clad merchants paddle along the narrow canals. Take a boat to see the traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables and other goods and admire traditional Thai houses and the way locals use boats in their everyday lives. Opportunity to buy and try some of the different kind of food that is being sold here.
