Want to fit three of Thailand's most famous sights into a single day from Bangkok? This tour takes you to the Maeklong Railway Market, the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and the temple ruins of Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Siam. A local guide travels with you the whole way to fill in the history and the local detail. You start at the Maeklong Railway Market, where the stalls sit right on the train tracks and get pulled back each time a train comes through.
