About this experience

The trip starts in Bangkok from your hotel. Once at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, you’ll walk around the bustling market stalls laying on both sides of the railway tracks then watch shopkeepers scramble to move their merchandise out of the way of the oncoming trains! Next, we drive to Wat Kai Bang Krung an iconic temple, known for its roots and branches of a banyan tree which over the centuries have surrounded the building, that houses a golden Buddha. Afterward we continue to the charming Amphawa Floating Market. You’ll take a stroll along the canal where you can see rowing boats, wooden Thai houses, traditional shops and stalls selling souvenirs, local foods & products. You’ll have a chance to taste an array of exotic Thai foods while trying out your haggling skills. When you’ve exhausted your taste buds we’ll take a traditional riverboat down the Amphawa River. There we see local people living off the river in their traditional wooden homes set above the water.

Amphawa Floating Market

The fireflies are amazing. But be careful of mosquitoes as they go into the bushes. If you have overseas insurance, it seems that insect bites during your stay are also covered ^_^ If you charter a boat, you can ride it whenever you want, but they charge 300 baht per person. If you share a group, it's usually around 50 baht. Souvenirs like folk crafts are especially cheap, so I recommend this over buying them back in Bangkok. It's a hassle to go and it's only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but I definitely recommend going.

Crazy and Amazing Market

You have to go and see this to believe it. 4 times a day, trains come through this market and all the vendors clear the rails of their canopy and put them back when the train comes and go. Great location to take pictures...great experience.

Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market cost?

+

Prices start at $200 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 Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market take?

+

Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market?

+

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 Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market?

+

Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Tour: Amphawa Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Market 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.
