Small Group: Damnoen Floating market & Train market
12 Reviews by TourRadar travelers“The tour was good and efficient, providing an excellent experience.”
Helen, traveled in July
Groups max out at 9 people (ages 3+), which means you'll get more one-on-one time with your guide throughout the day. The smaller number makes it way easier to coordinate when the train rolls through Mae Klong market and keeps things smooth during long-tail boat rides through narrow canals.
