- Depart early morning for the two-hour drive to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. En route first visit the Maeklong Railway Market, the name says it all: it is a market which has a train running right through the middle of it. The market offers everything you expect a Thai market to offer but the Maeklong Railway Market differentiates itself from the other markets by having a railway located in the middle. If the products for sale are not placed on the railway itself, they are placed really closed to it. Every time the train is about to drive through, the vendors recognize the warning bell, they immediately jump out of their chairs to pull back their awnings and when needed their products as well so the train will not hit the vendors`belongings. Tourists and the vendors gather very close, but far enough, along the railway to let the train pass by safely. For many tourists this is the moment to take a video or a picture of this impressive moment. Right after the train has passed the stands, the vendors immediately place their belongings back at the railway and it looks like nothing has happened.
- We continue drive to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, to see the traditional way of selling and buying goods in Thailand.
- Family style, Thai set lunch at Khum Damnoen Resort or local restaurant.
