    Unprofessional and unreliable with no after sales service!

    Absolutely disappointed with the service received from this company. Very unreliable and unprofessional. I was told less than 24 hours before the tour that they cannot pick up from the hotel. The tour pick up time was changed and we were taken to the Railway market first, instead of the floating Market. And because of this, we were unable to witness the highlight of the Railway Market which is seeing the vendors pull away their stalls as the train passes through. I requested assistance from the company, however they were unable to assist. They lack customer service skills. Please rather book your tours with a reliable and reputable company.

    Response from the operator: It’s unfortunate that this situation occurred, as the issue was not from our side. Since you are a travel agent, it’s important to review the pickup details carefully before confirming a booking. The Viator/Tripadvisor listing clearly mentions the pickup zone, yet the hotel selected for the clients was located approximately 13 kilometers outside the designated area. This led to the pickup limitation and subsequent confusion. Despite the pickup zone being outside the standard area, we still arranged a special pickup (at an additional cost) to ensure the clients could join the tour. The itinerary was followed exactly as described; however, as this was a group tour, timing at each stop must be consistent for all participants. We understand the clients wished for extra time, but this flexibility is only possible on private tours, not shared ones. It appears there may have been some miscommunication regarding the nature of a group tour, which we believe should have been clarified by the you (the booking agent) to manage expectations better. Later, you also mentioned that the next day (free of cost) private tour should be arranged or a refund should be done, if not you will give a negative review, which unfortunately was not possible as all services had already been provided as per the itinerary. We appreciate your feedback and truly hope future bookings with any operator are made with careful attention to pickup locations and tour details, to avoid such misunderstandings and issues with the end customer.

    Fun day at Train Market and Floating Market in Bangkok.

    A fun day with my family and our Guide Pang. Thank You so much team for excellent trip. Loved the train market and the way the vendors quickly remove everything in a jiffy. Also floating market was fun.. but the sellers are selling expensive than the local market, but gladly our guide helped with the bargaining.

    Damnoen Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market

    Our visit to the Damnoen Suduak Floating markets and the Maeklong railway markets was a highlight of our time in Thailand. Damnoen Saduak were the canals come alive with colour, energy and the aroma of freshly cooked Thai food. Gliding through the water on a long tail boat was a unique way to shop. Next we visited Maeklong railway markets, which was an experience like no other. Just minutes before the train comes through vendors quickly fold up their awnings and move their goods back from the track. I highly recommend visiting both definitely an eye opening and memorable.

    Extremely unprofessional....

    Extremely unprofessional. I do not recommend. There was zero communication before my event, and then within hours of my confirmed pickup, the driver canceled. I was forced to find my own way to a pickup location 45mins away and it cost an extra $250 BAHT. When I asked about reimbursement, they not only refused but lied about what was originally agreed upon. Totally unacceptable and dishonest. Viator also took no accountability. Horrible.

    Dishonest and Unprofessional!!

    Extremely unprofessional experience. I do not recommend. There was zero communication before my event, and I wasn’t informed until 10:16 PM the night before that they wouldn’t be picking me up at my hotel as originally promised. Instead, I was told to find my own way—20 minutes away—which cost me an extra 250 baht. When I asked about reimbursement, they not only refused but lied about what was originally agreed upon. Totally unacceptable and dishonest.

    Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.

    How much does Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok cost?

    +

    Prices start at $21 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.

    Is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Market Tour Bangkok start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bangkok?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bangkok?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bangkok?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
