Visite du marché flottant de Damnoen Saduak et du marché ferroviaire de Maeklong
Description
Explorez Damnoen Saduak, le marché flottant le plus populaire en Thaïlande, idéal pour les séances de photos, la nourriture et pour donner un aperçu d'un mode de vie révolu. Bien que le marché ait évolué davantage vers une attraction touristique de nos jours, il vaut toujours la peine d’être visité pour son atmosphère unique et l’expérience qu’il offre. De plus, nous visiterons Talad Rom Hoop, également connu sous le nom de « marché des parapluies de train », pour une expérience de marché unique. Le marché se trouve littéralement sur la voie ferrée et chaque jour, les clients et les commerçants laissent place au passage du train Bangkok-Maeklong. Avec la sonnerie d'une cloche d'avertissement suivie d'une annonce en thaï par haut-parleur, les vendeurs retirent leurs auvents en quelques secondes. Incroyable !
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous visiterons le plus célèbre marché flottant de Thaïlande: Damnoen Saduak. À votre arrivée, vous embarquerez sur un bateau traditionnel à longue queue pour une promenade à travers les canaux, offrant un aperçu de la vie le long des cours d'eau. Le canal Damnoen Saduak a été mis en service en 1866 par le roi Rama IV pour relier les rivières Mae Klong et Tha Chin et améliorer le transport d'eau entre les provinces de Ratchaburi et Samut Sakhon. Les photographies de ce marché coloré et animé sont parmi les plus largement présentées dans les brochures de voyage sur la Thaïlande. Bien que le marché s'adresse aujourd'hui en grande partie aux touristes, il offre toujours une expérience inoubliable avec son atmosphère animée, ses bateaux et ses scènes de canal. Veuillez noter que le temps total consacré à cette excursion inclut le trajet depuis Bangkok, qui dure environ 1,5 heure par trajet, selon le trafic. Note: Damnoen Saduak est indéniablement touristique de nos jours, et bien qu'il ne se sente peut-être plus pleinement authentique, il reste l'un des meilleurs endroits pour découvrir un marché flottant.
Notre prochaine étape sera l'incroyable marché ferroviaire de Mae Klong, connu localement sous le nom de Talat Rom Hoop ('Market Umbrella Close'). Imaginez un train qui traverse directement un marché public ! Le marché ferroviaire de Mae Klong existe depuis 1905. La pêche était (et est toujours) l'un des principaux moyens de subsistance des gens qui vivaient ici, et le marché était un autre moyen de vendre leurs marchandises. Les fonctionnaires ont décidé de construire un chemin de fer afin de mieux livrer ces marchandises aux autres provinces. Le marché s'est maintenu, malgré les nouvelles pistes qui le traversaient. Nous allons flâner sur le marché et voir le train arriver ou partir avant de retourner à Bangkok. Le temps total à passer ici inclut le temps de trajet entre Damnoen Saduak et Maeklong Railway Market et du marché ferroviaire de Maeklong retour à Bangkok (env. 1,5 heures - selon la situation du trafic).
Wat Bang Kung est célèbre pour sa petite chapelle entièrement enfermée dans les racines d'un banian appelé Bot Prok Po. C'est presque comme si l'arbre lui-même était les piliers du temple et que sans ses racines, la chapelle s'effondrerait. Vous pouvez également entrer à l’intérieur pour rendre hommage à l’image de Bouddha. Le terrain du temple servait autrefois de fort naval, site d'une bataille acharnée au XVIIIe siècle entre le Siam et les envahisseurs birmans. Aujourd’hui, le terrain du temple est également un mémorial de l’héroïsme des guerriers.

This was a visit to the floating market and railway market. We were very lucky that there were only the two of us on trip, so we had the exclusive services of Paul, our guide and Maue our lady driver. Apologies if I got the spelling wrong. I visited the floating market 40 years ago when it was an actual working market and was surprised to see that now it's purely a tourist attraction and the only things on sale were souvenirs. Having said that, I suppose it's great that they managed to preserve it in some form and it's very pleasant to take a boat trip through the market stores which last time wasn't really possible. Paul was a brilliant guide. He was very cheerful, very funny, full of energy and we exchanged some interesting stories with him. The driving was also perfect. We did get to see a couple of other things which was very nice, a tree which had grown into a 400-year-old monastery building covering it with roots and branches. Also a seafood fish market. The train thing was okay but much like others I have seen in Hanoi. Expensive restaurants on the side of the tracks while you wait for a train to come past. Only downside is it's a bit of a long trek to and from, about an hour and a half each way but the car was very comfortable and air-conditioned
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It’s wonderful to hear that Paul’s enthusiasm and storytelling made your trip so enjoyable, and we're glad the comfortable journey and special stops added to your day. Your thoughtful observations and feedback are truly appreciated. We hope your visit leaves you with lasting memories, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back to discover more of Thailand with us.
The pre-tour conversation, the pickup, and the excursion were all perfectly organized. The guide was very knowledgeable, knew the best spots for impressive photos, and provided insightful explanations throughout. It was a wonderful experience, and I’m happy to recommend both the tour and the tour operator.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear that everything, from the pre-tour communication and pickup to the excursion itself, was well organized and met your expectations. It's especially rewarding to know that your guide's knowledge, local insights, and photography recommendations helped make the experience even more memorable. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you on another adventure in Thailand soon.
It was a little hard to find the location to meet but our guide was very good and guided us to the meeting place . Our guide explained everything to us and was very good . I would recommend this company to anyone who wants to travel around Bangkok. Both our guide and driver was very friendly
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really happy to hear that, even though the meeting point was a little tricky at first, our guide was able to help and make everything smooth for you. It’s wonderful to know that both your guide and driver took good care of you and made you feel comfortable throughout the trip. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again soon for another happy journey around Bangkok!
The floating market was a fun experience overall and while touristy, still recommended. However, my biggest criticism was the local tour operator really diminished the experience. To me, the whole experience was very rushed, and while I appreciated visiting a couple of sites outside of Bangkok, we did not have enough time to explore the market; I felt rushed the entire time and really could have used some time to lazily browse or get something to eat. Instead I was put on a strict clock to return within 40 minutes to return to Bangkok. Furthermore, our tour guide did not really offer much in the way of history or culture, in fact he slept in the car on the way back to Bangkok. In the end it felt more like transportation to some sites with a compressed timeline. I would likely rent a car and make my own trip to the markets outside of Bangkok on my next trip.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the floating market experience and appreciated the opportunity to visit sites outside of Bangkok. We're sorry to learn that the pace of the tour felt rushed and that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. We understand how important it is to have enough time to explore, browse, and enjoy each location at a comfortable pace. We also appreciate your comments regarding the guide's level of engagement and will share your feedback with our team for review and improvement. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continually work to enhance our tours and guest experience. Thank you for joining us, and we wish you a wonderful time on your future travels in Thailand.
Excellent trip with Nicky and our driver (cannot remember his name). We saw some absolutely beautiful sites and both made sure we were well taken care of in the heat. This is definitely a trip worth taking
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip and the beautiful sights along the way. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Nicky and the driver. It's great to know they helped keep you comfortable and well looked after throughout the day. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again soon!
