💡 Insider Tip

Insider Tip:

Hello, Is it possible to leave at 9 pm and see the 11:30 am Train ? To leave 7 am is too early for us. Regards Tilo? Tilo - 3 years ago

I understand that the original departure time of 7:00 AM for the "Damnoen Saduak Floating Market + Railway Market Tour" is too early for you. We can certainly arrange for you to leave at 9:00 PM and see the 11:00-11:30 AM train. However, please keep in mind that visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market later in the day may not be as enjoyable, as it will be quite hot and there may not be as many boats in the market.
