The interesting thing about Maeklong Market on the banks of the railway track is the way they arrange their goods so that they can be moved to allow the train to pass, the variety of food and items, colors, smells and sounds is an unrivalled experience, as is the floating market that is nothing more than a set of shops on the banks of waterways, not very clean by the way. If your goal is to capture images or video and get into the atmosphere of these places, the tour is advisable, if you go shopping it may not be very comfortable. In general, all these discomforts are worth going through. My suggestion for the operators is that they reduce the visiting time before the train passes, two hours is too much torture in those temperatures, with one hour is more than enough to tour the market and watch the train pass. Once you’ve visited the market, you should head to a coffee shop on the edge of the road to enjoy a coffee, dessert or refreshing drink. After our tour of the Damnoen Saduak floating market, our guide suggested visiting a farm where you can ride elephants and feed them, this activity perfectly complements the experience in Thailand and makes the journey from Bangkok to Samut Songkhram worthwhile.
