Day Trip to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & River Kawai

On this day trip from Bangkok, we'll visit Damnoen Saduak, Thailand's most famous floating market, and see the bridge on the River Kwai. You can complete the journey with a ride on the Death Railway or a visit to an elephant sanctuary.

Day Trip Options

When booking, you can choose one of the following options. Both are 8 hours long and include pickup from Hotel Century Park, transport, an English-speaking guide, and lunch.

Floating Market, River Kwai + Death Railway

We will travel to the west of Bangkok, reaching the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market after a 1.5-hour journey. Here, we will take a 30-minute boat ride through the market, viewing stalls selling vegetables, exotic fruits, and local products.

After the market, we will continue to Kanchanaburi to see the bridge on the River Kwai, made famous by the 1957 film related to World War II and the Death Railway. A traditional Thai lunch will follow nearby. Next, we will visit the JEATH War Museum to learn about the Death Railway's construction from 1942 to 1943.

We will then proceed to ThamKra Sae Station for a 1.5-hour train journey along the River Kwai, ending at Tha Kilen Station, where transport back to Bangkok awaits.

Floating Market, River Kwai + Elephant Sanctuary

This option includes the same guided tour through the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. After lunch near the bridge on the River Kwai, we will not visit the JEATH War Museum.

We will then visit an elephant sanctuary where you can bathe the elephants and enjoy a 30-minute bamboo raft ride in the sanctuary's area.

After this, we will return to the meeting point in Bangkok.
