Itinerary

  • Coconut Sugar Farm

    Stop and see the fabrication process of coconut sugar, taste the natural candies. Enjoy the wild orchil presentation

    40 minutes

  • Salt Evaporation Pond (Pass By)

    Drive through the salt fields of Samut Sakhon province

  • Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

    Following a morning pickup from your Bangkok city hotel (except non-refundable rate)  meet your guide and travel out by air-conditioned coach to the Damnoen Saduak floating markets. Located a 2-hour drive southwest of Bangkok, the markets sit on a canal waterway created by King Rama IV in the 19th century to promote trade and development outside the capital. Today, they’re widely considered one of Bangkok’s top attractions and offer valuable insight into traditional Thai culture and traditions. On arrival at Damnoen Saduak, hop aboard a long-tailed speedboat with your guide for an exciting ride through the marshes and stilt-houses to the markets. Once there, listen to a brief introduction from your guide and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Marvel at the colorful fruits, vegetables, sweets, meats and souvenirs on display and take time to capture the market scenery on camera. Watch the traders and customers going about their daily business on this bustling and vibrant part of the canal, and perhaps purchase some fruit or souvenirs for yourself (own expense). Take a ride on a local boat (optional extra, payable locally) through the maze of traditional canoes and soak up the market atmosphere out on the water. When your time at the Damnoen Saduak floating markets is up, cruise back to your coach and hop back aboard for the return journey to your Bangkok, where your tour will come to an end.

The vest tour experience with the best tour guide

Published on Aug, 2024

This was one activity that we were looking forward too and it did NOT disappoint. From the moment we stepped out of our building , we were greeted by one of the most friendliest staff with a big smile on his face , Noi (sorry about the spelling if its wrong). The trip over to the markets was also exciting - Noi made the whole trip exciting with all his knowledge (this guy needs a pay raise). We loved every bit of this trip and a big thank you to our tour guide. Noi & our driver for getting us there and back safely

Floating market great for foodies

Great tour of Floating Market and riverc - ask for Tum Tum as your guide!

Published on Oct, 2022

We used Tour East for all of our airport transfers and tours during our honeymoon in Bangkok and they never let us down! For Bangkok, we had a full day trip courtesy of our guides Tum Tum and Mr Satong. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and spent all day with us taking us through the following itinerary: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Coconut farm White Orchid riverside dinner cruise It was an early start from our hotel, around 7:30am but Mr Satong and Tum Tum made us feel at ease and gave us an overview of the history of Bangkok and the area. We visited the coconut farm and tried some of the coconut syrup and brough some of the usual souvenirs here, which were cheaper than at the market or surrounding stalls in centre of Bangkok. Tum Tum offered to take photos for us as we went through the tours. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market This was a nice guided tour of the floating market and about 1 hour outside of Bangkok, and we were fortunate to have good weather and not many tourists around when we visited. We were driven to the transfer boat and taken to the entrance of the floating market. After paying our entrance fee (1000 bht), we were then taken round the market by boat and the stall owners grabbed our boat with their hooks to draw us to their souvenir stalls. After our round trip of the floating market, we were returned by boat to the entrance of the floating market, where we could look at the stalls on land for 30 minutes or so. It's worth waiting for this, as we found better deals on gifts for our families here. Again, Tum Tum took as many photos as we asked for! We returned about 3pm to our hotel. White Orchid riverside dinner cruise - 2 hours We started at the mall by the riverside, and had some time to explore the shops whilst we waited for the boat. It was raining at this point but the river boat staff provide umbrellas to usher you onto the boat. The food wasn't the best, with it being a buffet and cold, however we had plenty of hot food to eat, and the entertainment on the boat was great. The atmosphere and audience participation made up for the shortcomings. As the evening went on, the rain stopped and we could explore the upper deck, to see the beautiful night view of the Chao Phraya river and the nightlife. Bless Tum Tum and Mr Satong, who at this point had been with use for nearly all day! They dropped us off back at the hotel and were still as friendly and enthusiastic as they had been all day! I highly recommend asking for Tum Tum to be your guide for your visit to Bangkok!

Floating Market Visit

Published on Aug, 2022

Nice and unique place ti visit, a good trip for one day, tourists may visit the floating market and Maeklong railway market on a same day, as they are close to one another. The rates of tour operators at floating market are high, and a little bit scanning can also be faced.
