Itinerary
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
90 min
The Floating Market of Damnoen Saduak is among one of the most attractive floating markets in Thailand. Motor boat rides are already included in your tour! Many Thai and foreign tourists come here to absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years. At this floating market, you can try a number of delicious Thai fruits and foods such as sweet mango on sticky rice, freshly-made coconut icecream, and Thai-style boat noodle.
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
Admission included90 min
The Railway Market is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! You will have fun riding a local train toward the Mae Klong station. While on this train, you will see the “Unseen-Thailand” experience. When the train signal rings up, the chaos will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stall and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all shop owners will resume their stalls again.
Coconut Sugar Farm
Admission included20 min
Visit a coconut sugar farm near Damnoen Saduak floating market. At this factory, you will learn how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar. You will see a demonstration of coconut flower cutting, pouring the nectar into a bamboo container, putting preservation woods in the container, boiling up and pasteurizing the nectar into the drinkable one. This will be your eye-opening experience!
Samut Sakhon
15 min
The whitish salt field, not a rice field, of course. A special bonus tour for our guests who join our floating and railway market tour in 2020. This sea salt is produced by Thai local wisdom. The salt farmer will rotate the sea water in different levels matching the strength of wind and sunlight. The rotation will continue until the salt becomes a “salt mountain” which are ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture. On the Highway 35 in Samut Sakhorn province, our guide will lead you to rub the salt to your hand and take amazing photos!
Erawan Waterfalls
Admission included180 min
Erawan Waterfall is recognized as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand. The major attraction of the park is the 7-tiered Erawan Falls with emerald green ponds. Erawan has seven separate tiers spanning approximately 1,500 meters through the thick rainforest of the park. The park are named after "Erawan", the three-headed white elephant of Hindu mythology. The top tier of the falls is said to resemble an elephant head. Admission fee for foreigners are included in your tour.
River Khwae Bridge
20 min
Thanks to several films and books, the Bridge over the River Kwai has become famous and attracted both Thais and foreigners to the site. If an ordinary black iron bridge can tell a story, you can be sure it's a dramatic one. The bridge has steel plates over the ties to make it easy to walk over the span. There are also viewing platforms between the trestles to give you a view of the river as well as to give you a place to get out of the way if you're on the bridge when a train comes. You will have a delicious lunch at a raft restaurant near the River Kwai Bridge.

Great day out
Lin (guide) and Kevin (driver) were the dream team! Lin knows everyone in Bangkok(!) and called the train driver to ask him to reserve seats for us so we could get the best view of the risky market. She tailored the tour to our priorities and made all my kids feel comfortable asking questions. Kevin adapted his driving route to get us to the train station on time after our hotel messed up our breakfast boxes! We all had a great day out. Thank you Lin and Kevin
Operator response
Dear ScottieLR,
Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful account of your day. It is great to hear that Lin and Kevin looked after you and your family so well, and Lin's initiative in calling ahead to the train driver to reserve the best seats for the market railway experience is exactly the kind of thoughtful touch we hope every guest enjoys. It speaks volumes about Kevin too that he was able to adapt on the fly and get everyone to the station on time despite the breakfast box hiccup at the hotel. We will make sure both of them hear how much your family appreciated their efforts, and we hope to welcome you all back to Thailand again soon!
Warm regards,
Thailand Insight Travel and guide Lin
