About this experience
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market consists of a maze of narrow khlongs (canals). Female traders, often wearing traditional mo hom apparel (blue farmers' shirts) with wide-brimmed straw hats (Ngob) use sampans (small wooden boats) to sell their wares, often produce. These boats are often full of vegetables and colorful fruits that are photogenic, and these images are used for tourism promotion. The market is often the busiest in the morning from 07:00 am to 09:00 am and is active until noon. Explore the market waiting for the train, Maeklong Railway Market is spread out on and next to the railway tracks. Customers walk on the railway track looking for something to buy from the shops on either side of the track. Several times per day a train rolls in at a low speed. When the driver sounds the horn, the vendors quickly pick up and remove their wares to make way for the approaching train. Immediately after the train has passed the canopy roof is raised back and it’s business as usual.

Train market good, Floating market bad
The Railway market was fairly good. Very busy as mostly tourist that descend en-mass to be there when the train goes through. Likewise the train was full of tourists. Above is understandably obvious so nice to see the stalls adjust just in time to let the train through. Floating market was massively disappointing. The stalls are 90% selling cheap tourist tack. All the same. No-one is trading fruit and veg etc, as you see in the posters. The canals are full of plastic polution, its everywhere in the water on the banks, its been that way for years as its embedded in and dredging spoil along the banks. Also if you like breathing in exhaust fumes then this tour is for you. Young drivers handle huge engines on the long boats are skilfully maneuvered around the slower ones being paddled by older, fitter drivers. What they don't tell you is that if havent paid for fully inclusive tour you pay £75 for the boat for 90 mins tour. Not too bad if your group is 4 or 6 but a rip off if you are two.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the unique experience of the Railway Market, despite the crowds of tourists. It truly is a fascinating sight to see the stalls adjust just in time for the train. However, we’re sorry to hear that the floating market did not meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about the commercialization of the market, the environmental issues, and the additional boat costs. Your feedback is valuable, and we will share it with the relevant teams to explore ways to improve the experience for future guests. We appreciate your honest review and will take your comments into account as we work on refining our tour offerings. If there is anything we can do to assist you further, please feel free to reach out. Best regards, Oh Hoo Travel

Nice tour for an affordable price.
Great tour! Tim was very nice and knowledgeable. I would have liked more tiime alotted at the train market, and that we were taken to an area where we could see the vendors remove their products from being too close to the train tracks.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Tim helped make your experience more enjoyable with his friendliness and knowledge. Your suggestion about allowing more time and providing a closer view of how vendors move their products when the train arrives is very valuable, and we will certainly share it with our team as we continuously work to improve our tours. Thank you again for joining the tour and for sharing your thoughts with us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From Bangkok: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From Bangkok cost?
+
Prices start at $1410 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 & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From Bangkok take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From Bangkok worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 10 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 & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From 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 & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From Bangkok suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From Bangkok?
+
Around 4 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market Tour From 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.
