Bangkok: Damnoen Saduak Market and Maeklong Railway Market | GetYourGuide

Buckle up for a day of vibrant markets, speedy trains, and floating boats—oh yes, it’s as exciting as it sounds! Choose between a lively group tour or a more intimate private experience, and get ready to explore two of Thailand's most iconic markets on a day trip from Bangkok.

First stop: the Maeklong Railway Market (aka Talad Rom Hup, or "Umbrella Pulldown Market"). It’s seafood, produce, and trains, all in one spot! This market is perched right on the train tracks, and when the train rolls through, vendors swiftly retract their awnings like magic to make way for the iron beast. It’s a quirky spectacle that will have you wondering how they do it—and don’t worry, your guide will fill you in on all the behind-the-scenes secrets.

Next, it’s off to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, where the hustle and bustle continues—only this time, you’re paddling through it. Hop into a boat and glide past vendors selling everything from juicy mangoes to hand-carved trinkets. It’s a photo op at every turn, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get to indulge in some mango sticky rice, the sweet, sticky crown jewel of Thai desserts. Your guide will make sure you know exactly where to go and what to try, so you won't miss a thing.

By the time you’re back in Bangkok, you'll have a head full of market stories and a belly full of delicious treats—all before the early afternoon. What’s not to love?

Simon Raven, fraternal twin brother and fellow photographer, stated. "We believe that the exhibition 'No Rush' is unique in its depiction of life slowed down in a fast-paced world. Each of the 50 portraits contain a sense of calm, and we believe that when displayed together, these frozen moments have real power." Chris Raven added. "Si's concept of using locations in India as the backdrop for the exhibition sounded colourful and fun

5 Stories You Can Trust Are Real

The Raven Brothers. They weren't raised in New York or Paris, Istanbul or Bangkok. They didn't go to Harvard or Oxford or Peking University. The hill behind their house in a small suburban market town in the East Midlands, UK, was their playground, and the council estate in the valley was their urban jungle. Why should any of this matter? Well, until about a year ago, it didn't mean very much at all. Then ChatGPT arrived and suddenly AI driven news articles started to flood the media, and lazy journalists began to use the machine to craft opinions without any heart at all. The mass producers of content won awards for the simple reason that their junk clickbait was being seen. Introducing a new counter culture, where books written blind (wi thout the help of technology), are t he only sure way you can guarantee that what you are reading is real, that it was produced by a human and is not random plagiarized thought.
