Bangkok Tours

• Maeklong Railway Market, where the stalls fold away for the train
• Amphawa Floating Market in the evening, busiest and best after dark
• Longtail boat ride to look for fireflies along the canal
• A Thai weekend market rather than a tourist one

An afternoon and evening trip: the market that folds up for passing trains, then Amphawa in the evening with a longtail boat out to see the fireflies.

• Watch the awnings fold back off the rails as the train comes through Maeklong market
• Ride the train yourself, through the stalls, after watching it from the platform
• Longtail and paddle sampan into the Damnoen Saduak canals where the produce boats trade
• See the Dragon Temple: a pink seventeen-storey tower with a green dragon wound around it

Three stops west of Bangkok in one day: the market that folds up for passing trains, the Damnoen Saduak canals by boat, and the pink dragon tower at Wat Samphran.

• Watch stalls slide off the tracks at Maeklong Railway Market
• Reach Damnoen Saduak Floating Market by paddle boat
• Visit Wat Lokayasutha, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet and Wat Mahathat in Ayutthaya
• See locals make brown coconut sugar at a Thai house

See the Maeklong Railway Market, the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and the temples of Ayutthaya, all in one day from Bangkok.

• Watch stalls fold back as the train passes at Maeklong Railway Market
• Paddle boat ride into Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
• Buy directly from vendors selling out of their boats
• Try pad thai, rice noodle soup and mango sticky rice

Two famous markets in one day: the Maeklong Railway Market on the tracks and the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market on the canals.
