Jernbane & Floating Market Tour med Paddle Boat Ride
Beskrivelse
Maeklong Market er en unik, "must-see-attraktion", der skal være på hver besøgende rejseplan. Det kaldes "Risky Market", fordi der er en togbane, der kører direkte gennem midten af markedet. Bogstaveligt talt inden for sekunder af toget passerer gennem markedet sælgere er nødt til at trække deres varer, og sig selv, ud af vejen. De præcise timinger og bevægelser af alle involverede er fascinerende at være vidne til. Det andet marked på denne rute er på det flyvende marked ved Damnoen Saduak. Mens det er autentisk og stadig bruges af lokalbefolkningen, på grund af sin popularitet, er det blevet travlt med turister. Du vil have masser af tid til at vandre langs siden af kanalen her, tage en kort paddle bådtur, og lave et par indkøb. 09:00 Afgang til River City 10:40 Ban Ka Long togstation 11:10 Ankomst til Maeklong jernbanestation 11:30 Se toget passere markedet 12:10 Flydende marked med paddle båd 15 minutter 13:30 Afrejse til Bangkok 15:00 Drop af MBK
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Maeklong Railway Market er et traditionelt thailandskt marked, der sælger friske grøntsager, mad og frugt. Det, der gør markedet specielt, er, at det optager en del af en toglinje. Et par gange om dagen kører der et tog direkte gennem markedet. Få minutter før toget kommer, sænker sælgerne deres paraplyer og flytter nogle af deres produkter væk fra togsporene. Nogle er tilbage på jorden, hvor toget kører lige over dem. Forbløffende bliver intet beskadiget eller ødelagt, og så snart toget passerer, flytter sælgerne deres varer tilbage på sporene og fortsætter som normalt (indtil det næste tog ankommer).
Berømt for sine turistvenlige flydende markeder, er Damnoen Saduak den, du finder i turistlitteraturen om Thailand. Tag dit kamera med for at se floden spækket med træbåde, der flyder over med frugt og grøntsager, som de sælger til folk, der står på land. Scenen er farverig og højlydt; præcis som du ville forvente af et thailandsk marked. Det er kun 100 km fra Bangkok.

Ignore the negative reviews. This tour was absolutely worth it and ended up being one of the best tours we’ve ever taken! The company was very clear about everything from the beginning. A lot of the complaints in the reviews seem to come from people who didn’t read the instructions or expectations carefully. We knew exactly what to expect, and everything was delivered as promised. Our tour guide, Hady, was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond throughout the entire day. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does and truly cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. His energy, enthusiasm, and attention to the group made the tour even more enjoyable. The tour itself was incredible, well organized, fun, and memorable from start to finish. The only thing worth mentioning is that while the itinerary lists the end time as 2:00 PM, that’s when the activities end. You still need to account for the drive back, which brought us closer to 4:00 PM because of traffic. That said, the return trip was actually quicker than we expected and wasn’t an issue at all. Overall, this was an excellent experience and one I would absolutely do again. I would take this tour 10 more times and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Dear Jenna_H, Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! Hearing that this was one of the best tours you’ve ever taken absolutely makes our day. We are incredibly grateful for your comments regarding our tour instructions. We work hard to provide clear and transparent expectations for all of our itineraries, so it means the world to us when guests take the time to read through the details and see how smoothly everything runs as a result! Your high praise for Hady has been shared directly with him and our operations team. He truly pours his heart and soul into his work, and knowing his energy, enthusiasm, and genuine care made your day so memorable is the best feedback he could receive. Thank you also for sharing that helpful tip regarding the return travel time. Bangkok traffic can always be a bit unpredictable, and we appreciate you letting future travelers know that while the activities wrap up around 2:00 PM, the drive back is part of the afternoon. We would gladly welcome you back to take this tour 10 more times! Thank you for choosing I Asia Thailand, and we look forward to hosting you on your next adventure in Thailand. Warm regards, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

Travel.to and from this location consumes.your whole day. Plus.the noise.and air pollution from long tail.biats is terrible. Find something else to do.
Dear Patrick, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the travel time and environmental conditions impacted your experience. As per the website this is in another province and is a full day tour. Guests who book this are usually aware of this. The Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market are indeed popular attractions, and due to their unique settings, they can be quite busy and lively. Best regards, Paul
Nice overall, but the train ride is super boring. Maybe just go to the train market alone instead of this tour.
Dear Alex, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you found the markets interesting but guests usually like seeing the train pass through the market! The Maeklong Railway Market offers a unique experience that many enjoy on its own, so we appreciate your suggestion for future travelers. We hope you had a memorable time exploring these iconic markets! Thanks, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)

It was very touristic and the train ride was only interesting the last 5 minutes. A lot of souvenir vendors at the floating market. Don't forget to bargain.

Interesting day yesterday. This tour has a lot if driving. Our van was not the most comfortable (older van model). Most if us had stiff muscles by the end of the day. The boat ride was also shorter (about 10 minutes) than what we were told (20-25 minutes). It took about 3h30 to get back to our hotel.
Dear Pierre, Thank you for your review. Did you mention anything to the guide yesterday as we have asked and we see no mention on the guide report. The Van is 6 years old and sorry to hear you did not find this comfortable, again please mention this on the day. Regards, Paul
