Must-Visit Spots Near Bangkok: Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Experience scenes you’d never encounter in city life all in one day trip!

🚂 Maeklong Railway Market
Dubbed the "most dangerous market" near Bangkok by tourists, this market is a must-see! Vendors set up their stalls right along the railway tracks, and when a train approaches, they quickly pack up their goods—a truly breathtaking sight! Trains pass by at around 8:30 AM, 11:10 AM, and other times (schedules may vary). The market mainly sells daily essentials, vegetables, and local goods, but you’ll also find tourist favorites like coconuts, mango smoothies, magnets, and trinkets.

🛶 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Located about 1.5 hours away by car, this is a tourist-oriented floating market but still worth visiting. The unique experience of navigating the canals while shopping and eating freshly made Thai dishes is unforgettable! Don’t miss the freshly cooked Thai noodle soup and mango sticky rice for a delightful treat.
