Why we love it?

This full-day tour explores three distinctive highlights in Thailand’s Samut Songkhram and nearby areas, starting with the Maeklong Railway Market, where you’ll witness vendors swiftly moving their stalls as a train passes inches away. You’ll also enjoy a longtail boat ride through Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, observing local life and vibrant trade from the water. The journey concludes at Wat Samphran, known as the Dragon Temple, featuring a striking pink tower wrapped by a giant dragon; while climbing to the top requires an optional donation, the temple’s unique architecture is visible throughout. The tour also includes a stop at Rom Hup Market, allowing you to experience another local market atmosphere. Travel is by air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide, and a multi-language audio guide is available via QR code for a self-paced experience. Train tickets and the longtail boat ride are included, making this an accessible way to see these iconic destinations.

Itinerary

Rom Hup Market

Maeklong Railway Market, located in Samut Songkhram, Thailand, is unique: a bustling fresh market directly on active train tracks. Vendors quickly clear goods as trains pass, then reopen stalls instantly. For a special experience, ride the train from Kalong Station (after crossing the river from Mahachai) to Maeklong, passing right through the market.

Stop 2

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, southwest of Bangkok, is Thailand's most famous. Vendors sell fresh produce and goods from traditional boats, offering a vibrant cultural experience.

Stop 3

Wat Samphran, or the "Dragon Temple," near Bangkok, features a 17-story pink tower with a giant green dragon coiling around it. Visitors can climb inside the dragon.
