Maeklong Railway Market & Amphawa Floating Market

Railway Market: The trains arrive according to schedule; the best time to see the trains passing through the market is at 3:30 pm or 5:40 am.

Experience the vibrant energy of the traders along the Maeklong Railway and the bustling Amphawa Floating Market on this tour from Bangkok. End the day with a magical boat trip to a glowworm habitat.

Amphawa Floating Market

After Damnoen Saduak, the floating market of Amphawa is the second most famous floating market; it is accessible from Bangkok.

The town center is a 1.5-hour drive away. The distance is approximately 50 km, but traffic jams can cause delays of up to 3 hours. Amphawa isn't as large as the floating market in Damnoen Saduak; however, I personally find it more authentic.

Less touristy. Important to know: Amphawa is only open on weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) from midday until evening.
