Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market
Description
The trip starts in Bangkok from your hotel. Once at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, you’ll walk around the bustling market stalls laying on both sides of the railway tracks then watch shopkeepers scramble to move their merchandise out of the way of the oncoming trains! Next, we drive to Wat Kai Bang Krung an iconic temple, known for its roots and branches of a banyan tree which over the centuries have surrounded the building, that houses a golden Buddha. Afterward we continue to the charming Amphawa Floating Market. You’ll take a stroll along the canal where you can see rowing boats, wooden Thai houses, traditional shops and stalls selling souvenirs, local foods & products. You’ll have a chance to taste an array of exotic Thai foods while trying out your haggling skills. When you’ve exhausted your taste buds we’ll take a traditional riverboat down the Amphawa River. There we see local people living off the river in their traditional wooden homes set above the water.

The fireflies are amazing. But be careful of mosquitoes as they go into the bushes. If you have overseas insurance, it seems that insect bites during your stay are also covered ^_^ If you charter a boat, you can ride it whenever you want, but they charge 300 baht per person. If you share a group, it's usually around 50 baht. Souvenirs like folk crafts are especially cheap, so I recommend this over buying them back in Bangkok. It's a hassle to go and it's only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but I definitely recommend going.
Wonderful private tour .Scott the best Guide in the world . Recommended for sure. The guide was professional, polite , what a Knowledge . Bravo 👏 👏
I highly recommend this tour and this company. Jam was amazing and we had a great time with our children. Thank you
You have to go and see this to believe it. 4 times a day, trains come through this market and all the vendors clear the rails of their canopy and put them back when the train comes and go. Great location to take pictures...great experience.
