Overview
Begin your day at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, where a train passes right through the middle of a bustling local market! Follow your guide through vibrant stalls filled with fresh produce, snacks, and handmade goods. As the train approaches, watch vendors quickly pack up their items, only to set them up again once it passes—a truly unforgettable moment of Thai market life.
Next, stop by Tao Tan Doem 2, a traditional house where coconut sugar is made the old-fashioned way. Learn how locals collect sap, boil it over wood fires, and create rich, golden sugar. You’ll tour a classic wooden Thai home and taste warm, freshly made coconut sugar—a true rural Thai experience.
Finally, enjoy a peaceful paddle boat ride through the colorful Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Float past vendors selling tropical fruits, coconut ice cream, and hot street food. Then, relax with a riverside lunch and explore the market on foot for souvenirs and photos before heading back to Bangkok.

Near Mae Klong Station in Samut Songkhram Province, there is a railway market where shops selling vegetables, fruits, and other goods are crammed together alongside the tracks that are still in use. It is also known as Talat Rom Hub, or the “umbrella market” (ตลาดร่มหุบ).As the name suggests, vendors along the tracks fold up their tents and umbrellas when trains pass by (eight times a day) between Mae Klong and Ban Laem, then reopen their stalls once the trains have passed. -
