9. Full day floating market food tour (from USD 204.0)
This full day tour covers three of Bangkok’s open-air markets: the Tha Kha Floating Market, the Amphawa Floating Market, and the Maeklong Railway market. At the floating markets, you’ll float in rowboats, tasting freshly prepared fried bananas and rice dishes, watching as locals trade their produce from boat to boat.
Maeklong, on the other hand, is situated on actual train tracks, which means an active train actually chugs through the market several times in the day. It is an absolutely unique experience to hear the warning bell go off, causing vendors to spring to action and pull their baskets off the tracks and the protective awnings down over the fronts of their stalls, sometimes just minutes before the train comes along.
