About
Amphawa is one of the most popular floating market near Bangkok, with visitors almost exclusively Thai. Located 50 km from Bangkok this once small village was apparently already present in the mid-Seventeenth Century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets.
• Visit Thailand's floating markets on an immersive half day trip from Bangkok
• Shop by boat along a riverbank in a longtail boat at a floating market
• Buy plenty of unique and inexpensive traditional Thai snacks - the perfect souveniers from your trip!
• Watch a train pass through the middle of a bustling market at Maeklong Railway Market

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Seaside260491727580 contributionsBest tour in Phuket!Where to start, this was one of the best tours we had whilst in Phuket. We were collected from our hotel lobby at the exact time stated and put into a great luxury air con mini van. On arrival we were given a warm welcome and greetings, great snacks and drinks. The islands are beautiful and it is not too long to travel. The guides have a great sense of humour and make the experience amazing for all. We would definitely come back again. Overall great company and best tour guides for this experience. Awesome 👍Written August 30, 2024
- zerkuch0 contributionsI’d rather pay a little more and travel in with a smaller groupVery friendly team, beautiful views, good snorkeling sites, easy communication through whatsup BUT too crowded (25-30 participants in this small boat), very touristic and the schedule was 1:30 hour later than presented online.Written August 18, 2024
- NewcastleStu0 contributionsBrilliant hotel yet again perfect stayJust back 2 weeks now from another brilliant stay at Club Lion, rooms spotless, food good not lots of choice but everything good we had. This was our 6th time there and back in Oct for 2 weeks, staff are lovely love the 2 girls behind the bar. Met some old friends and made plenty of new, I've stayed in 4/5 star hotels and this is better than those, majority of ppl were great but you always get the odd few who complained every day about something not been right, whether it be food or rooms or anything come to that if they wanted better should have booked 5 stars . Management were great and tried to accommodate where ever possible,so if you thinking about going just book up you won't get disappointed.Written July 8, 2024
- taniadJ3341GZ0 contributionsToo long, traffic chaosThis took 7 hours, hoping for more time in Old Town but only had 50 mins. We were late to be picked up which is ok, but no message to say this. Buses oldWritten June 24, 2024
- Ambassador1546360 contributionsSo we'll Done ✔️We spent about 45mins at the attraction & thought it was really well done with clever artwork.. We had such a laugh , and it's so cheap... Give it a go ...we loved it & it broke up our busy dayWritten March 31, 2024
- whiteri980 contributionsGreat PerformanceThe dinner and show were excellent, dancers obviously did much practice to prepare for their performances. I recommend this attraction.Written March 23, 2024
- Notteskall240 contributionsBeautiful & crowded islandsWell organized. Small island's with plenty of tourism. Lovely and crystal clear water! Unfortunately a lot of jellyfishes.Written March 15, 2024
- D327QBjamesm0 contributionsGreat day outLots to see and loads of photo opportunities. Guide was very friendly, helpful and fun. Beware lots of steps if you wish to see it all.Written February 28, 2024

- s0nnevy00 contributionsHighly disappointedBooked, paid and confirmed for the dinner but the company contacted us that we had to book the following day. We scheduled to leave Chiang Mai that day, highly disappointed since we couldn’t find another dinner on such a short noticeWritten February 15, 2024
- 276felicitym0 contributionsHighly recommend this trip.Half day was perfect for us! We went for the 7am pick up as we didn’t want to be out in the hot afternoon sun. All confirmed by text the day we booked. Picked up and dropped off from our hotel without a problem. Comprehensive before trip talk regarding our safety. Full but not overloaded boat. Unexpected refreshments midway through the trip. The islands were amazing. The fish are really close to the beach! Beautiful landscape and clear water. Highly recommend it.Written January 11, 2024
- Cory J0 contributionsNice half day tripThe trip was nice and the islands beautiful. I do think that it would be better if the time spent on each island was extended to one and a half hours. The staff were great we enjoyed the tour .Written December 15, 2023
- Castlevillas0 contributionsCompany No ShowBooked this trip through Viator. Payment taken from my account 3 days beforehand as agreed. Received a text from Sunleisureworld (+66 81 440 9926) the day before the trip asking for more money to pick up from cruise terminal even though the voucher said pick up points include the cruise terminal. I sent the voucher to them and they then said the trip was full. The booking was made over two months ago and payment had already been made! They insisted that the trip is full and that i should request a refund. We were looking forward to a nice day on the beach but this company is either incompetent or untrustworthy and ruined our day.Written December 14, 2023
- Allison J0 contributionsHorrible OrganizerTour organizer was terrible. I booked the morning tour and they informed me it was sold out only 1 hour before departure. They refused to refund me and forced us to either lose money or go on the afternoon tour, although the afternoon weather forecast said thunderstorms. The van picked us up 30 minutes late. As soon as we arrived at the dock it began raining. The refused to cancel the tour so we went out in the rain. The tour guide and the boat staff were friendly but I would not book with this company again.Written December 3, 2023
- deslea0 contributionsEasy, low stress way to get an island and snorkelling experienceWe had a lovely time on this tour. Things that are not stated and I would have liked to know ahead of time are: It is reasonably friendly to young children and older people - there is a bit of stepping in and out of boats but there is always one and sometimes two people to help. You don’t need to bring anything other than swimwear, sunscreen and towel. They provide snorkel gear, life jackets, water and snacks, and you can buy food and drink and use of shaded chairs at two of the islands. You don’t need to buy anything ahead of time if you weren’t expecting to do an island trip (we weren’t because our visit to Phuket was a detour) - the departure marina has all sorts of things to buy at reasonable prices, like snorkel mouthpieces if you want your own, reef shoes, waterproof phone satchels, even hair elastics. We were well looked after and thought the trip was good value for money. There was a safety briefing, arrangements at each stop were well communicated in multiple languages. Things “felt” chaotic at times but staff always seemed to know what they were doing, they kept track of people who had booked in different ways without problem (eg - they knew without being prompted that our ticket had prepaid island entry while some others needed to pay), they managed the transfers well too. A well managed experience at a budget price.Written October 24, 2023

After a long, slow ride from BKK in traffic, reached the Maeklong railway market in the afternoon and caught the 3 p.m. train movement; the vendors push back their tables, some on wheels, while the train crawls past and tourists scurry to get photos. It's all well-practiced. Then on to Amphawa, not far away. I don't know if the actual local vegetable market is more lively in the morning, but late afternoons & early evening it is mainly a food court expeirence for tourists.Besides the few boats on the water selling prepared foods, many stalls are set up in nearby lanes selling a variety of tempting eats. There are also boat rides, of course. Worth a trip if you haven't seen a floating market before, especially since it's closer than some more famous ones, or if you just want a day trip outside of BKK.
