Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
1h · Admission ticket included
With a train passing right through the busy market, Maeklong Railway Market is one of the most popular tourist attractions around Bangkok. Maeklong Railway Market, or Maeklong Train Market, is famous for the train passing smack through the middle of the operating market. Vendors put out their goods (mostly fruit, fish and meat) right up to the railway tracks, and fold their umbrellas and awnings just moments before the train passes. It’s like a synchronized dance. Maeklong Railway Market is also known as Talad Rom Hub, which means Umbrella-Closing Market, or Talat Siang Tai, meaning Life-Risking Market.

Wat Bang Kung

Wat Bang Kung, a temple near the Mae Khlong River, has a long history dating back to the Ayutthaya kingdom. It was a place of spiritual significance for soldiers at the nearby naval fort. Within the temple compound, there are statues depicting male Muay Thai fighters in pairs, showcasing various fighting positions. Muay Thai, a form of Thai boxing, has played a significant role in the Burmese-Siamese War and is deeply rooted in Thai history and culture.

Amphawa Floating Market
2h · Admission ticket included
Amphawa is a floating market near Bangkok that is smaller than Damnoen Saduak but more genuine, as it mainly attracts Thai visitors. It has been a village since the 17th century and has become extremely popular among people from Bangkok on weekends, with food stalls expanding from the riverbanks into the nearby streets. The main attraction is undoubtedly the opportunity to enjoy seafood cooked on wooden boats anchored near the well-known central bridge. These boats offer a delicious selection of prawns, shellfish, and squid. From midday until late at night, the enticing aroma attracts numerous customers who gather on both sides of the river throughout the day.
Finally, it’s time to return. You will be dropped off at your Bangkok City hotel safely at approximately 8 pm.
