From Bangkok: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Train Market Tour
About
If you love a bit of bartering, wait till you see how they do it in Thailand! On this full-day guided tour, explore two iconic markets on the outskirts of Bangkok.
Maeklong Train Market is a fresh market situated right by a well-worn railroad. Watch the vendors expertly close and open their awnings to make room as the trains rattle past Learn about the area’s bloody battle history and see the Golden Buddha inside Wat Bang Kung, a striking Buddhist temple engulfed by the roots of a massive Banyan Tree.
Located on the Amphawa Canal, the Amphawa Floating Market is one of Thailand’s more popular floating markets. Visit this riverside hub and see vendors selling delicious treats like sweets and seafood. Then, after sunset, when the lights have dimmed, wind down with a river cruise surrounded by flickering fireflies.
