Full description
Experience three of Thailand’s most iconic highlights on a carefully curated full-day tour from Bangkok, featuring convenient hotel pickup and drop-off. Start at the world-famous Maeklong Railway Market, a bustling local market situated directly on active train tracks where vendors swiftly retract their awnings as the train passes inches away (including an optional train ride segment). Next, visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand's most famous floating market, for an extended longtail boat ride through historic canals filled with vibrant boat vendors. The journey concludes at Wat Samphran, the extraordinary "Dragon Temple," featuring a 17-story pink tower encircled by a giant coiling green dragon, where you can walk inside the dragon to reach the top for breathtaking panoramic views.
