WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The Floating Market of Damnoen Saduak is one of the most attractive floating markets in Thailand. Worldwide tourists come here to experience this 38 kilometers, man-made canal initiated by the visionary King Rama IV 150 years ago. This canal was used as “road” when there was no road in Thailand. This floating market is currently the center of fruits and vegetable trading. 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. A motor boat ride is already included in your tour.
2.
You will observe how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar and palm sugar loaf. 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 coconut nectar into the drinkable one. You will try squeezing coconut milk from coconut shell using a traditional Thai “rabbit-teeth” wooden machine.
3.
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!
4.
The railway market in Mae Klong District is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! It is well known as one of the “Amazing-Thailand” for its chaotic moments. In normal time, seller stalls are typically attached to the railways. However, when the bell of the arriving train rings, the big turmoil will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stalls and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all vendors will expand their stalls and resume selling again. Private Tour Only: You will ride a local train toward the Mae Klong station for about 30 minutes. Instead of standing on the sides of railway, you will be on the train seeing people doing selfies and recording videos. You will be waving your hands to worldwide tourists! The train ride is included for our private tour customers only (optional purchase for join tour customers).
5.
MBK center is a must-visit shopping mall for foreign tourist. You could purchase many popular Thailand items in this huge shopping mall. If you are our join tour guests, we will drop you here after the tour. MBK center is connected to BTS National Stadium. You can ride BTS skytrain to return to your hotel conveniently. On the other hand, if you are our private tour guests, we will drop you at your hotel. Or you may request us to drop you at MBK center if you wish.

Motor boat was the best way as we got to see a greater expanse of the canal system.
If you’re from Australia, tell your boat driver that you can’t take wood back to Australia, this will avert many unwanted stops and being hassled.
Keep an eye out for the vendors throwing a kick back into the bottom of the boat by the driver as you pull away, they don’t want you to see it, it’s funny to watch 😊

We had the most wonderful day with our tour guide Lin- I can’t praise her highly enough- from beginning to end everything was fabulous. Not only did Lin treat us like gold, she also explained everything in detail and took great photos of everyone. Both the train ride & boat trip through the floating market were fantastic - plus we had the added bonus of learning how to make salt at the salt farm & coconut sugar at the plantation. All along the way we sampled dishes & had lovely little treats, not to mention a delicious lunch at the end- thank you Lin!

The places were very nice and so was our tour guide. When I wasn’t feeling well, Lin, the tour guide, helped me through the whole time and even used oil to massage my head. The driver, Kevin, was nice enough to give me water and look after me when I was resting in the car. I definitely would recommend this tour!!

Lin, the tour guide, and Kevin, the driver, were super helpful to us. Lin was able to explain in details about the trip. She showed us step by step how to catch the train, where to sit, where to take photos. She took photos and videos for us and airdrop to all of us. She did help my wife to recover from the heat and massage her until she feels better. She is the best tour guide ever to us. Kevin was a super drive that he drove very smoothly and also helped my wife and us a lot beyond his normal schedule work. They were always smile and recommend us where and when to shop on the railroad market, floating market and coconut farm. We highly recommend going a tour with Lin and Kevin, as we will try to have them again on the next trip in Bangkok.

We did the group tour in April. It was a great trip. Our guide was great, spoke good English and managed to get us to the Railway Market about 20mins before a train came in. It was cool to see it transform from a market to a train track. After the train passed, we had time to shop (seemed like a good place for good price souvenirs) and there was a local toilet (guide helped to show me where the toilet was). The Floating Market was a brilliant experience; we bought a beer from a boat that was going in the opposite direction (which was lots of fun). There are toilets available near the floating market that were clean enough and just required a small payment to use e.g. 5-10 Thai baht. We did not eat from the market area as we had taken snacks with us. It would appear that the souvenirs at the floating market are expensive compared to other places but we did see people haggling the price down and they managed to get a better deal. We had plenty of time at each stop. This was a very good trip and good value for money. I would recommend it.
