Maeklong Market is a unique, 'must-see attraction' that should be on every visitor's itinerary. It is called 'Risky Market' because there is a train track that runs directly through the middle of the market. Literally within seconds of the train passing through the market vendors have to pull their goods, and themselves, out of the way. The precision timings and movements of everyone involved are fascinating to witness. The second market on this itinerary is at the floating market at Damnoen Saduak. Whilst it is authentic and still used by locals, due to its popularity, it has become busy with tourists. You'll have plenty of time to wander along the side of the canal here, take a short paddle boat ride, and make a few purchases. 09:00 Leave River City 10:40 Ban Ka Long Railway Station 11:10 Arrive The Maeklong Railway Station 11:30 Watch the train passing Market 12:10 Floating Market with paddle boat 15 mins 13:30 Leave for Bangkok 15:00 Drop Off MBK
