About this experience 

Bangkok’s markets are the stuff of legend, covering the full gamut of floating markets, flea markets, night markets and food markets. And Amphawa Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market are among the very best. Tick off both on a Chinese language tour that takes you on a day tour of these iconic attractions by air-conditioned coach.

Your first stop is Maeklong Railway Market, just outside Bangkok. Famed for its somewhat unusual set-up, Maeklong is set along 100 meters of live railway line, meaning that whenever a train rolls through (around eight times a day), traders have to pull back their awnings and move their wares (and themselves) out of harm’s way, before replacing everything after the train has gone. You’ll get some great snaps here, and your guide will provide commentary on this historic seafood market.

Afterwards, you’ll make your way to Amphawa Floating Market, where you’ll tour the various stalls along the riverside and on the sampan boats in the water. Admire the traditional wooden stilt houses along the riverbank and be sure to haggle for those all-important souvenirs! As dusk falls, you’ll enjoy the nightly light show as hundreds of fireflies flit beneath the trees and skim the Maeklong river.

This Chinese language tour is a fine way of experiencing authentic Thai culture; it lasts 6-7 hours and you’ll be back in Bangkok in time for dinner.
