Floating and Railway Markets Private Tour
Our tour will bring you many eye-opening experiences. In Damnoen Saduak, you'll take a fun boat ride to explore the legendary floating market, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and discover unique products. You'll also visit a local coconut sugar farm to learn about the traditional process of making coconut sugar and see how salt farmers produce sea salt for cooking and skincare. At the "risky" market, we'll provide an insightful walking tour to witness the "Unseen Thailand" moments as sellers retract their stalls when the train approaches.

Samut Sakhon
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!
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
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.
