Hi everyone!
I’d love to introduce you to one of our most popular day trips outside of Bangkok. This tour takes you to some amazing places like the Maeklong Railway Market, Tao Thai Doem 2 a charming traditional Thai house where they make coconut palm sugar, and the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
You’ll get to explore authentic Thai culture and local life just a short drive away from the city all in one day! We provide a private van with a friendly driver and a professional local guide who’ll be with you every step of the way.
What makes this tour special is that we really want to give you a taste of the “real Thailand.” You’ll see how people used to live with wooden Thai-style homes, peaceful canals where neighbors would paddle boats to visit each other, and of course, that incredible train market where vendors pull back their goods just seconds before the train passes right through.
Lunch is included too! We’ve selected a lovely local restaurant with delicious food, clean and comfortable atmosphere and yes!, we also have vegetarian options.
Our vans are clean, modern, and safe. We work with one of the top van companies in Bangkok. Our drivers are polite, drive responsibly, and follow speed regulations. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included. And our tour guides? They’re all locals who really know the area and can share great stories about Thai traditions and daily life.
So, if you're looking to escape the city for a day, to enjoy the countryside, experience a bit of local life, and visit some unique markets, we think this tour is just perfect for you.

Maeklong Train Market
Start your adventure at the incredible Maeklong Railway Market, where local life meets one unforgettable moment—a train cruising straight through the middle of the market! Follow your guide through stalls packed with colorful produce, street snacks, and handmade goods. As the train approaches, watch in awe as vendors swiftly fold up umbrellas and pull back their wares, then set everything back up as if nothing happened. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures the energy, hustle, and uniqueness of Thai market culture.
Taste Tradition at a Thai Coconut Sugar-Making House
Next, visit Tao Tan Doem 2, a traditional Thai house where coconut sugar is made the old-fashioned way. Learn how locals tap coconut trees, boil the sap, and craft the rich, golden sugar over a wood-fired stove. This hands-on stop offers a glimpse into rural Thai life and the heritage behind one of the country's most loved ingredients. You'll also tour a charming wooden house that reflects classic Thai architecture. Don’t miss the chance to sample warm, freshly made coconut sugar—it’s a sweet treat straight from the source!
