Train Market, Floating market, China town and Flower market (Private trip)

Duration

8 hours

Overview

The Mae Klong train market, or Talat Rom Hoop as it is known among locals, started in 1984 as a local market selling seafood, poultry, spices, vegetables and more on the train tracks. The vendors pull their tables to the sides to let the train pass and then returns to business as usual. We continue to Damnoen saduak floating market, a colorful canal market where boats are filled with fresh, tropical fruits and vegetables that come straight from the farmlands on a daily basis. In the afternoon explore the small streets and alleys of Bangkok's China town and continue to the flowermarket, or Pak Khlong Talad, a (wholesale) market area for flowers, herbs and spices.
