The markets of Thailand are some of the country’s most quintessential experiences; they give you a lively peek inside the more traditional culture of a country that often lives by water (or in this case, by the railway tracks as well!).

We’ll take you to the most iconic markets on the outskirts of Bangkok, ending with a relaxing firefly boat tour to wind down from the day’s excitement…

Maeklong Train Market: Talad Rom Hoop is a fresh market situated right by a well-worn railway. Watch the vendors expertly close and open their awnings to make room as the trains pass by.

Wat Bang Kung:A striking Buddhist temple engulfed by the roots of a massive Banyan Tree. Learn about its bloody battle history and see the Golden Buddha inside.

Amphawa Floating Market: Located on the Amphawa canal, the Amphawa Floating Market is one of Thailand's more popular floating markets. View this riverside market and see vendors sell delicious treats like sweets and seafood, or browse some of the shophouses and restaurants

Firefly boat tour: After sunset, when the lights have dimmed, we’ll wind down with a relaxing river cruise. Our boat will take us a little further out where it is dark enough to see the fireflies, ending a day of simple pleasures and tastes with their beautiful light.
