Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Mae Klong Railway Market and Erawan Falls Day Trip

This 14-hour day trip spends its first half in Samut Sakhon and Damnoen Saduak, with a floating market, a railway market, a coconut sugar farm and a salt farm. At the floating market a motor boat ride is included, and the stalls sell sweet mango on sticky rice, freshly made coconut ice cream and Thai-style boat noodle. The Mae Klong Railway Market is reached by a ride on a local train. When the train signal sounds, vendors pull back their stalls and clear the track at speed, then set up again once it has passed. On the coconut sugar farm, a demonstration shows how coconut nectar is collected, boiled and pasteurized, and visitors try squeezing coconut milk with a traditional wooden machine. At the salt farm, sea salt dries into mounds, and the guide leads visitors to rub it between their hands and take photos. After lunch at a raft restaurant near the River Kwai Bridge, the day moves to Erawan Waterfall for a hike, a swim in the emerald-green ponds and a walk through the tropical rainforest. The day finishes with a walk along the Death Railway and the River Kwai Bridge, with photos at the riverbank at sunset. Travelers choose a standard air-conditioned vehicle or a luxury VIP van, which can carry a baby car seat if reserved. The price covers the boat and train rides, admission to Erawan, a private hotel transfer in downtown Bangkok, a private licensed English-speaking guide, travel accident insurance, and a local lunch with a drink. Up to 15 travelers can book.
