About this experience
Three of amazing places that you can do in a day. Firstly, to be witness of “Thailand Only” with Meaklong Railway Market. It has a train running through right down the middle and close enough to touch. The coolest thing is the awnings and shop fronts adjusts itself and perfectly encapsulates the train as it rolls through. From Mae Klong you will take 30 minutes drive continue journey to another famous Bangkok market - Damnoen Saduak Floating market. It is a great way to see the winding canals you would not otherwise have access to on foot. Lastly , we take few more hours drive to Kanchanaburi , full of history and culture! Here is the Bridge over the River Kwae (sound likes “where”), which is a 1957 British-American epic of Second World War film and makes its famous. Also we will take you to visit Thailand-Burma War Center and War Cemetery.

What you'll see and do
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
We will take you on a walk along the market which actually sits atop the train tracks and try our tropical fruits and food from around the area until a little warning bell rings over the speaker before the train comes. The awnings are pulled back only as far as necessary, the baskets of fruit and vegetables are shifted just enough as to not be sliced by the metal wheels. Amazingly, nothing is damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, vendors continue as normal.

A must-not miss spot for tourists
Appealing Song Kwae Skywalk Bridge, Kanchanaburi, Thailand The Kanchanaburi Skywalk (Song Kwae) was known to build during pandemic COVID time. It is said to have a 150-meter-long, 12-meter-high glass-bottomed walkway built along the Kwai River and where the three rivers of Kanchanaburi, Mae Klong, Phachi and Kwai Yai rivers meet. Best time to visit is at the sunset as it offers scenic sunset views, or in the morning to avoid daytime high temperature. From the Skywalk, the visitors can admire a 60 year-old Maharat Hall on the city side and three rivers on the left. In addition to the skywalk a pedestrian street runs along the bank of the Kwai Yai river providing visitors with a public space to stroll, and relax. This is one of the sites that can be combined in half-a day trip to experience the spiritual, scenic, and modern, architectural highlights of the Kanchanaburi region in Thailand. Its glass design provides panoramic views that make a must-not miss spot for tourists interested in visiting Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private tour : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Private tour : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae cost?
+
Prices start at $2900 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 : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae 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 : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae?
+
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 : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private tour : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae?
+
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 : Railway & Floating Market and the Bridge over river Kwae 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.
