Meeting Point
BTS Wutthakat Station
- We will meet at BTS Wutthakat Station (Exit 4). Please be on time! Since we are traveling by public trains, timing is crucial. If we miss the train, it will delay our entire journey.
Catch the Suburban Train to Mahachai
We will hop on the suburban train heading to Mahachai. This is a great chance to see the transition from the busy city into the quiet suburbs. We will arrive at Mahachai at around 09:30 AM.
Ferry Crossing to Tha Chalom
From Mahachai, we’ll take a short, scenic ferry ride across the Tha Chin River to Tha Chalom.
Local Train from Tha Chalom to Maeklong
The train ends directly inside the market! Maeklong Railway Market is world-famous because the vendor stalls are set up right on the active train tracks. As the train approaches, vendors quickly pack up their umbrellas and pull back their baskets to let the train pass, and then instantly put them back. It’s a thrilling, unique sight you can't find anywhere else! We will spend about 30 minutes exploring and taking photos.
Baht Bus to Amphawa Floating Market & Lunch
We will catch a local Baht Bus (a shared pickup truck with passenger seats) to Amphawa Floating Market (approx. 30 minutes). Once we arrive, you will have free time to enjoy lunch by the canal. You can try local dishes like boat noodles, fresh seafood, and traditional Thai desserts.
Explore Amphawa Floating Market
We will spend about 2 hours walking around this famous, vibrant floating market. You can explore the riverside wooden shop houses, shop for unique souvenirs, and soak in the lively local atmosphere.
Head Back to Bangkok
We will take a public bus/van from Amphawa back to Bangkok. The tour will end with a drop-off at a BTS Skytrain Station for your convenience.

“Bangkok highlights”
During our short stay in Bangkok Lin put together a great itinerary. Lin used her local knowledge to ensure we saw as much of Bangkok as possible using different modes of transport including the ferry, sky train and Tuk Tuk. Lin was very professional, friendly and accommodating to our needs. We would recommend Lin if you want to get the most out of your stay in Bangkok.
