About this activity

See another side of Bangkok when you embark on a self-guided market tour with a private driver. Visit the famous Maeklong Railway Market and a floating market, and see how locals live and shop in Thailand.

After pickup from your hotel in Bangkok, head to a local floating market. See vendors selling food, crafts, and other goods along the edges of the waterway, as well as directly from their longtail boats. Explore the land markets, or choose to take an optional boat ride on the canals with the vendors.

Returning to your vehicle, your driver will take you to the famous Maeklong Railway Market where stalls line the side of the train track. See the shop owners quickly pack down and set back up as trains pass through the middle of the market.

Stroll through the market and pickup souvenirs, handicraft items, and try the local street food on offer before heading back to Bangkok in the comfort of your private transport.
