• T516: Floating Market, Wat Po and Wat Arun

    • TOUR OVERVIEW Price from: 2,200 - 7,350 Baht

    If you have limited time, this is an ideal day to see some of Bangkok's highlights and the famous Damnoen Saduak floating market. The Mae Klong Train Market, the Palm Sugar Factory, Wat Arun, and the Grand Palace complex are also included in this full-day tour of Bangkok.

    TOUR DESCRIPTION

    This tour begins with a pickup from your Bangkok hotel so you can depart early in the morning for the vibrant market. An early start is important, as the drive to Damnoen Saduak takes just over an hour, and we don't want to miss the colorful boats of this morning market. On the way to Damnoen Saduak, we'll stop at the Mae Klong Train Market, where you can see the vendors' wares displayed right on the tracks of a still-operating railway line. Prepare to be amazed by the fascinating spectacle as the scheduled train passes through the market! Before reaching Damnoen Saduak, we'll make a brief stop at a small, charming palm sugar factory. You can observe the sugar production process and sample the sweets made from it. In Damnoen Saduak, you'll board a privately chartered speedboat and cruise through the canals to the market, giving you a glimpse into authentic waterside life. We'll disembark at the market, and you'll then have time to explore on your own. Stroll along the canals, flag down boats and vendors as you please, or rent a pedal boat to experience the vibrant activity on the waterways up close. After visiting the market, we'll return to Bangkok. Upon arrival, you'll enjoy lunch. Afterward, you can choose whether to visit Wat Pho, Bangkok's most important palace and temple complex. At Wat Pho, you'll find countless Buddha statues, temple buildings, and, as a highlight, the enormous reclining Buddha. The last stop of the day is Wat Arun, one of Bangkok's most famous temples. You can admire the pagoda up close and climb a short distance to enjoy the panoramic view over the Chao Phraya River. At the end of the day, we'll take you back to your hotel in Bangkok.
