Review Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market Tour

Pipi Tony is the best! I loved how he shared a brief history of Thailand and the places we visited. He even backed up his stories with pictures, which made us appreciate them even more.
He was patient, fun to be around, and even taught us how to haggle at the market. He also recommended foods to try that helped us save money without missing out on the experience.
I can truly recommend this tour to everyone!

We had such a fantastic experience on our tour! Our tour guide Ms.Jenny was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing local culture. The visit to the coconut sugar house was fascinating — we got to see how the sugar is made from scratch and even taste some fresh, warm samples.

At the floating market, our guide made everything easy and fun, try local snacks, and find the best photo spots. Finally, the stop at the railway station market was unforgettable — we arrived just in time to see the train pass right through the stalls!

Throughout the day, our guide kept us comfortable, answered all our questions, and made sure everyone was having a good time. It was such a memorable experience, and we learned so much about Thai culture and daily life.

Highly recommend this tour and especially our guide — they truly made the day special! 🌴🚤🚆

Our guide, Nok, was a great guide! She was super helpful and friendly, and she’s very passionate in helping us in Chinese, taking us to secret spots for foodies, and telling us interesting facts about Thai culture and that of our destinations. The coconut sugar factory was super nice, with all natural coconut products for us to taste, and an actual Thai house for us to visit. The floating market is also quite nice but I’d prefer traditional boats instead of diesel boats because of the smell. The railway market though was a bit underwhelming, and you actually do not get to ride the train itself which would have been an even better experience imo. Overall, with the affordable price I do recommend this trip to anyone interested in less-touristy travel in central Thailand.

The best tour organised and executed so far. Our guide Steve was so energetic and genuine he even helped us get desserts from a local farm. You could see he is very passionate about what he does and took extra care for all members in the tour. Even the boat ride was organised up to seating and we were given honest advice on where to shop and how to avoid paying extra high prices as tourists. Have no complains at all and would highly recommend to those booking. The price is more than worth the highlights in the trip.

We had an amazing day visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market. Our tour guide, Apple, truly made the experience unforgettable. She was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, teaching us about Thai culture, useful phrases, how to barter respectfully, and recommending delicious local food to try. The stop at the coconut farm was surprisingly interesting, where we learnt about coconut farming and enjoyed browsing the fresh drinks and handmade coconut products. The floating market was vibrant and fun, although many stalls sold similar items. We loved exploring the canals and soaking up the atmosphere. The Maeklong Railway Market was a real highlight—we were lucky enough to see the train pass through twice! Watching the vendors quickly move their stalls was fascinating. The souvenirs here were also some of the cheapest we found in Thailand. Overall, this was a fantastic, well-organised tour we highly recommend it!

a fascinating and unforgettable experience with an amazing guide Nok! she did everything - taught us basic Thai, gave us all the needed historical and practical information, including how to bargain, where to find the best food and best things to bring home at the most convenient prices. she kept our spirits high, even when it started raining (it fully enhanced the experience and created a perfect atmosphere). there was never a boring or an worrisome moment during the tour. Nok kept us all engaged, gave us personal photoshoots and very personal treatment! we played games, talked and had an amazing time! great value for money and highly recommend

I recommend this tour for first-timers in Thailand. You can stroll around the floating market and see the train passing through the Maeklong Railway Market! However, be aware that the drivers at the floating market will force you to the shore of the merchant stalls to allow them to solicit customers! Maybe because we joined a day trip, the merchants didn't force us to buy anything, but they did stay for a while 😂. But the boat noodles and Thai milk tea recommended by the guide Alex were very delicious 👍. At the back of the Maeklong Railway Market food street, there's an old lady's stall that sells clothes and pants very cheaply. I bought two pairs of pants for 150 Thai baht! The mango sticky rice recommended by the guide was also delicious. I went to take a picture of the train passing through the market, and when I turned around, my mother had eaten it all, leaving not a single bite, haha.

This was my first time traveling with a Klook tour group, and we wanted to experience the unique floating market. Our group had five boats, and my family of six adults plus one child was on the first boat. Unfortunately, we were the last to reach the destination, which meant we had to rush our lunch and didn't have time to explore or enjoy ourselves leisurely. I'm not sure if this was because the boatman went to the wrong place or if we stopped at too many shopping spots. First, the boatman took us to the wrong boarding point. We only realized we were at the wrong place after disembarking, so we had to get back on the boat and go to another boarding point. Getting on and off the boat was quite difficult, especially with children and elderly family members. Second, I don't know how many shopping stops the other groups made, but we stopped at least 5-6 times. Third, some of the other tour members were a bit inconsiderate, reclining their seats so far back that we couldn't sit together as a family. It would have been much better if seating arrangements had been made in advance for each group.

The floating market and railway market tour was an unforgettable adventure! Riding a boat through the vibrant canals, sampling local snacks, then watching the train pass right through the bustling market was absolutely surreal. It’s the perfect mix of culture, food, and jaw-dropping moments. A fun, well-organized must-see experience in Thailand!

An unique experience travelling back into time. Visiting two old markets with respective features with experienced guides and a coach transfer. A coconut sugar factory visit is included. Please note that there are no ATM facilities or EFTPOS facilities except the railway market out of the three, so strongly recommend to bring cash.
