Bangkok : Ayutthaya, mercato galleggiante e mercato ferroviario - Giornata intera
Descrizione
Un tempo capitale del Regno Siamese (1351–1767), il parco storico di Ayutthaya è un sito patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO dove templi fatiscenti e Buddha senza testa raccontano la storia di una civiltà perduta a causa dell'invasione birmana. Da non perdere l'iconica testa di Buddha, intrecciata per sempre nelle radici degli alberi di banyan. A Damnoen Saduak, il mercato galleggiante è uno spettacolo vivente: barche di legno accatastate di frutta tropicale, spezie e cibo di strada si intrecciano attraverso stretti canali. La cultura del commercio dei canali in Thailandia risale intorno al XIV secolo, durante il Regno di Ayutthaya (1351–1767), quando le vie navigabili erano le principali strade per il commercio e la vita quotidiana. Poi arriva il mercato ferroviario di Maeklong, diverso da qualsiasi altra cosa al mondo. La linea ferroviaria risale al 1905, costruita per collegare i villaggi di pescatori costieri a Bangkok. Nel tempo, i venditori hanno allestito bancarelle direttamente sui binari. Oggi, un vero treno di pendolari si stringe ancora otto volte al giorno, mentre i banchieri tirano indietro con calma le loro tende con centimetri di riserva.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Inizia la tua avventura di un giorno intero con una visita al Maeklong Railway Market, uno spettacolo davvero unico dove i venditori riempiono rapidamente le loro bancarelle mentre un treno passa direttamente attraverso il mercato. Prova l'emozione di guardare questo affascinante mercato in azione.
Poi, goditi un giro panoramico in barca attraverso il Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, dove vedrai venditori locali che vendono frutta, snack e souvenir dalle loro barche. Scivola lungo i canali ed esplora questo vivace mercato, immergendoti nell'atmosfera vibrante della tradizionale cultura commerciale della Thailandia.
Dopo le visite al mercato, ti recherai ad Ayutthaya, l'antica capitale della Thailandia e un sito patrimonio dell'umanità UNESCO. Qui esplorerai le maestose rovine di Wat Mahathat, note per l'iconica testa di Buddha intrecciata tra le radici degli alberi, e l'imponente Wat Phra Si Sanphet, un tempo parte del complesso del palazzo reale. Goditi il contrasto tra la vivace vita del mercato e la serena bellezza dei templi storici. Questo tour fonde perfettamente cultura, storia ed esperienze locali, rendendolo un must per chiunque voglia immergersi nell'essenza della Thailandia.

My tour guide for this experience was Angie. She was absolutely amazing. Even though, TripGuru was sending me information regarding the transport for the morning of the tour, Angie took it upon herself to inform all 9 of us as well (I travelled solo, but there were a total of 9 of us in the group). A very knowledgeable guide, I loved the fact that she had made written notes of the facts that she shared with us. Very accommodating, and caring. She paid a little extra attention to me as I was the only one in the group travelling solo, and I was grateful for that. She also took lovely pictures of us! She takes her job seriously, absolutely loves it and that came through in the 10 hours we spent with her!
Very well organized, with a friendly guide who knows his history well. We appreciated the bottle of water at the end of the day!
We're glad you had a good experience on your tour. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we strive to improve our services.
This is an all day tour. But you get to see a lot. I loved it. I just wish I could get to each of these locations on my own. Our tour guide should have walked and talked at the same time. I wish she had described each tomb as we passed them... Instead she talked about all the Kings and how they came into power. Standing in one single location. Standing and not moving is hard on my legs. A chair or a bench would have been wonderful. I can't remember all kings. There were too many. If had she described them along with the tombs in the parks it would be easier to understand especially since I had to really listen hard due to the break in language. A guide from any of the parks would have been able to describe the park.
We appreciate your feedback. If you could provide us with more information about your tour experience, it would help us understand how we can improve. Please feel free to email us at reservations@thetripguru.com.

My family of five had a wonderful full-day tour with our guide, Shirley. She was incredibly accommodating and shared fascinating stories about each site we visited. The ride was comfortable, and our driver met us at the entrance of every stop, so we didn’t have to walk far in the heat. The train market and floating market were such fun experiences for the whole family. The temples and historical sites in Ayutthaya were absolutely breathtaking and completely exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for your kind words and 5-star rating. We're so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us.
Amazing experience! The floating market and train market excursion was one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand. Watching the train pass right through the market was unforgettable, and the floating market was full of unique souvenirs, and local charm, what an experience to do shopping while floating on a boat! Everything was well organized, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Thailand!
The train weaving through the Railway Market scene was such a vivid moment—what a unique way to see daily life in motion. Our guide, Ananda, brought both stories and smiles that made every stop feel personal. Thanks for sharing your favorite part of the day with us—so glad it landed like magic.
