The trip to the Maeklong Railway Market then on to Wat Bang Kung and one of the floating markets is one of the best excursions from Bangkok.
A highlight is seeing a train pass through the market. This happens eight times a day. Current train times are as folllows:
arrivals: 8.30, 11.10, 14.30 and 17.40
departures: 6.20, 9.00, 11.30, and 15.30
Buses from Bangkok's Southern Bus Station cost around Bt100 (US$3.50) each way.
A seat on a tour bus to the Railway Market and to one of the floating markets costs around Bt900 for the day.
An air-conditioned taxi costs around Bt1500. This is good value for four people. This also allows you to take a short train ride through the market if the taxi drops you off at a station north of Maeklong and then picks you up later at the market. The train costs Bt10.
