9.Maeklong Railway and Floating Market Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 224 reviews · 6 hours · from $79

Travel from Bangkok with an English-speaking guide such as Johnny, King, Knack, or Steve to Mae Klong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak. Watch the train pass through the market, taste Thai snacks, and reach the floating market by longtail boat. Shared groups have nine people or fewer.

“I highly recommend this tour with Steve who is a very good host and knows how to go the extra mile and out of the very touristy spots. Steve gives a lot of interesting explanations about the food habits of people at the market. However the floating market has become just a giant souvenir shop and lacks of food and veggies. If the long tail boat ride is fun, the floating market is more like a tourist trap.”
