Bangkok to Ratchaburi Van Charter with Driver from ฿3,800
Ratchaburi lies west of Bangkok, about 150 km away or roughly two hours. It holds both the internationally famous Damnoen Saduak floating market and Suan Phueng district, a cool upland retreat on the Myanmar border filled with attractive resorts. Kingtocar arranges private van charters here with a driver at one flat price. It suits family day trips to the floating market, overnight stays in Suan Phueng, and guided days showing overseas visitors both the floating market and the Maeklong railway market.

Stops & places to visit
6 · Stops & places to visit
Damnoen Saduak floating market
Thailand's most famous floating market, with paddle boats selling fruit and food along the canals. Busiest from 7 to 10am. Boat rides cost roughly ฿150 to ฿300 per person — agree the price before boarding.
Suan Phueng and Bo Khlueng hot spring
An upland district on the Myanmar border with many mountain-view resorts and cafés. Bo Khlueng is a natural hot spring where you can soak your feet. The air stays pleasant most of the year.
Khao Bin Cave
A large limestone cave with impressive formations and lighting along the walkway, taking around 45 minutes to explore, about 15 km from the town centre.
Dragon jars and ceramics workshops
Ratchaburi has long been famous for its glazed dragon jars. Workshops and shops welcome visitors, and some let you paint your own — good fun for families with children.
Chet Samian old market and Khoi Kee market
Retro trackside markets with traditional sweets and long-established coffee shops. Compact and easy to walk, ideal for a late morning or afternoon stop before heading home.
Khao Ngu Stone Park
A former quarry turned public park with emerald-green pools and Buddha images carved into the cliffs. Unusual scenery and free to enter.
Arrive while the market is alive
Damnoen Saduak is busiest from 7 to 10am. A private van leaving Bangkok at 5am gets you there in time, unlike coach tours that often arrive once the boats have thinned out.
Flat ฿3,800 per trip
฿3,800 for a Toyota Commuter and ฿9,000 for a Toyota Alphard, including fuel, tolls, the driver and bottled water.
Suan Phueng stays cool year round
Suan Phueng sits on higher ground near the border and is markedly cooler than the plains, with many mountain-view resorts and cafés — ideal for an overnight family or couples trip.
Damnoen Saduak plus Maeklong in one morning
The floating market and the Maeklong railway market are about 30 minutes apart, so both fit into one morning — the classic itinerary for overseas visitors.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What time should we leave Bangkok for Damnoen Saduak?
Around 5 to 5.30am. The drive takes one and a half to two hours, putting you at the market by seven when boat activity peaks. Arriving after 10am means a much quieter scene with mostly land-based stalls.
Does ฿3,800 include the boat ride?
No. The ฿3,800 covers the one-way vehicle charter with fuel, tolls, driver and water only. Paddle boat rides cost roughly ฿150 to ฿300 per person, paid at the pier — agree the price before boarding.
Can we do Damnoen Saduak and the Maeklong railway market in one day?
Yes, it is the classic pairing and they are about 30 minutes apart. An eight-hour charter at ฿5,350 for a Commuter works well: leave at 5am for the floating market, then Maeklong for a train time, and back in Bangkok by afternoon.
How is an overnight trip to Suan Phueng priced?
Suan Phueng is a further 60 km beyond Ratchaburi town, so it is quoted on actual distance for outbound and return. Send the resort name on LINE and we will confirm an exact price. If the van stays with you, driver accommodation is ฿500 per night.
What booking type suits overseas guests?
An hourly charter, because visitors usually spend longer photographing than planned. Hourly booking removes the rush and lets you adjust on the day. We also have the website and quotations in eight languages to send guests before travel.
On a full-day charter, what if we go over the time or distance?
If the van and driver stay with your group all day (same-day return or sightseeing stops), packages start at 12 hours · 360 km (Commuter ฿7,500 / Alphard ฿18,000). Extra time is ฿300 per hour for the Commuter or ฿600 per hour for the Alphard, and extra distance is ฿25/km (Commuter) or ฿45/km (Alphard). Entrance tickets are extra, and if you add stops or change plans along the way, we always tell you the price difference first. One-way transfers (Commuter ฿3,800 / Alphard ฿9,000) are a fixed fare with no extra time or distance charges.
