Maeklong Railway Market is set on a working railway line: when the train comes, the vendors fold their umbrellas and pull their goods back, and a few minutes after it passes the market is back in place. Damnoen Saduak is the best-known floating market near Bangkok, where boats sell fruit, snacks and souvenirs on the canals; a longtail boat ride is included. The third stop is Wat Bang Kung, a small chapel wrapped in the roots of a banyan tree. Below: what the price covers, who it suits and how it compares with the other ways to do it.
