Explore Damnoen Saduak, the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities, food, and for giving an insight into an ancient way of life. Then you'll continue to Talad Rom Hoop, also known as 'Train Umbrella Market', for a unique market experience.

The market sits on the railway track, and customers and shopkeepers make way for the Bangkok-Maeklong train to pass every day. With the ringing of a warning bell followed by an announcement in Thai over the loudspeaker, the vendors pull back their awnings within seconds.

The experience itself was really enjoyable, giving the best part of a full day with no stops at random shopping outlets that you sometimes get. It was very good value for money, and our guide 'Pam' (from WanderSiam tour company) was just amazing, so informative, entertaining and friendly. The only negative thing was that due to the location of our hotel we couldn't be picked up and had to make our own way to the tour company's office due to how busy the Bangkok traffic gets, which we understood.

War alles super??ein tolles Erlebnis, muss man einfach gesehen haben. Sehr viele tolle Einblicke und genügend Zeit um alles zu erkunden ??

Todo genial y la guía estuvo sensacional….

Bien que nous soyons françaises et la guide parlant Anglais, elle s'efforçait toujours de bien expliquer et répéter si je ne comprenais pas. Elle n'était jamais loin quand je faisais un achat pour m'aider dans les transactions. Elle était vraiment top, souriante et dynamique.

Toller Führer, wirklich super interessant. Auf dem Floating Markt gibt es Boote mit Motor und welche die per Hand gerudert, gesteuert werden. Es ist an der Zeit der Umwelt zu Liebe auf Motoren im gesamten Bereich der Kanäle zu verzichten. Gerade TUI sollte dieses von seinen Partnern einfordern. Das Erlebnis wird dadurch ruhiger und noch Narurverbundener. Es geht nicht nur um Kommerz. Es geht um die Menschen und ihren Lebensraum.
