From where ever you start your tour, even when the market is not far away from the Chao Phraya river, there is no Express Boat driving to it. It seems a little bit difficult to get to The Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market, but that is what a good Tour is all about. Our advice:
First you drive to the BTS Station Bang Na, there you take a Taxi or Tuk Tuk to the Bang Na Pier. With a ferry you drive the short distance to the Pier Tree on the other side of the Chao Phraya.
