Looking for a truly local experience? Join us as we explore two markets that capture the heart and soul of Thai culture! First, we’ll take you to the Maeklong Railway Market, a one-of-a-kind spot where local vendors expertly navigate around the train tracks, showcasing their everyday life and fresh produce. Then, it's off to the Amphawa Floating Market, a favorite among locals for its vibrant energy, traditional food, and handmade crafts. Here, you’ll taste authentic Thai flavors and shop for unique goods, all while floating down charming canals. This is local life at its best!

Our adventure begins at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, also known as the "Umbrella Market"! Here, you’ll experience something truly unique—vendors selling their fresh produce right on the train tracks! And don’t be surprised when the train rolls through several times a day. Watch as the vendors swiftly fold their umbrellas and tuck away their goods with expert precision. It’s an incredible sight, and you’ll be amazed at how seamlessly they carry on as if it’s just another day!
Here comes the train! Get your cameras ready—it’s the perfect moment to capture this once-in-a-lifetime scene. You’ll be amazed at how calm the vendors are as they quickly move out of the train’s path and then carry on with business as usual. Snap some unforgettable photos and videos to share with friends and family!
Time for our next stop: the beautiful Amphawa Floating Market, just a short drive away. We’ll enjoy a delicious local lunch, and you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. Afterward, hop on a boat and cruise along the canals to explore the vibrant riverside life. Along the way, we’ll visit 5 famous temples—each with its own story to tell.
Once we’re back, let’s take a leisurely stroll around Amphawa Floating Market. You can soak in the local way of life, try some sweet treats (perfect for dessert lovers!), and shop for unique souvenirs to take home. It’s a charming, local experience you won’t want to miss!
We’ll drop you off at your hotel, full of great memories from an unforgettable day!
