Description
See two of Thailand's most famous markets on one day trip from Bangkok, as a shared group or a private tour. " It is one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand and sits right on the railway track. Your guide explains how the market runs and what the vendors sell. The thing everyone comes for is watching the stalls and awnings get pulled back from the tracks every time a train approaches, then set up again as soon as it passes. Next you head to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, reached by a short paddle boat ride.
