★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,924 reviews · from $32

Ride a train through Maeklong Railway Market, then cruise Damnoen Saduak Floating Market on a guided Bangkok day trip.

“An early start, but worth it for a visit to these well-known markets. Really enjoyed the train ride to the market, then the train leaves and you have the experience of seeing the stalls move aside off the train tracks and squashing in to keep out of the way as the train passes! The floating market was enjoyable but very busy and lots of ‘tourist tat’ (this was in contrast to the railway market). But still, it was interesting to experience. Our guide was so informative and helpful - he was great!”

Jib and the tuk tuk drivers delivered a full, immersive deep dive into Thai history, culture, and the real Bangkok night scene. Jib was genuinely one of the sweetest guides I’ve ever met—patient, knowledgeable, and willing to answer every single question without rushing a thing. Dinner was outstanding and set in the most beautiful riverside restaurant I’ve seen in Bangkok. The city truly comes alive at night, and the food stops she curated were spot-on. Every vendor, every dish—authentic, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. As a chef, I don’t…”
