Interesting and varied day - This was a great experience. Our guide, Kitty, was so good. We got to go on the train as it entered the market (Kitty found us seats by a window) as well seeing the train from the ground later as the train left. It was very crowded but that’s all part of the experience. The boat ride at the floating market was fun, and the vendors weren’t as pushy as I expected them to be, which was refreshing. We had a lovely lunch and also got to see a temple, and an art workshop which was of particular interest to me. One of the two temples was closed so we went to a coconut plantation to see coconut sugar being made. Kitty was very flexible, knowledgable and helpful, and took loads of photos for us which we loved!

A different excursion - If you visited Hanoi and were having a drink while the train was passing, this is a more disorganized and smaller version than Vietnam. Side-to-side businesses may feature fresh fruit, meat and fish that are superior to Hanoi, but the style is the same. It's one more stop on this tour. The Floating Market is more interesting and well organized. Something else. I do not advise buying anything from the boat, because everything is more expensive.

Authentic Thailand highlights - This was an excellent day trip to discover something a bit different. The trip gave us so much more than we were expecting. Having a guide with so much local knowledge and understanding was so helpful for the markets. Being vegan we wouldn’t have had a clue what to buy, but Chaiya was so good at finding us delicious street food to try. He was very chatty and had a lot of information about the country and so much passion for it to pass onto us. We saw so many beautiful places and the experience of the train street and floating markets were such a highlight for us.

10000/10 recommend!! - Such an AMAZING experience!! Our tour guide was Chaiya, and let me just say you’ll definitely want him as your tour guide as well!! He went above and beyond. I saw something I wanted in the floating market but was too late in seeing it, it was in the tunnel part where you can’t get to on land. He found a way to get to it and made sure I got it. He also made sure we got amazing photos on our tour as well. He taught us some of Bangkok’s history which was fascinating! He made the trip super special.

Jo - amazing no pressure guide in Bangkok - Floating Market & Maeklong Railway Tour with Private Driver We hired a private driver with 3 adults and 2 children. The cost was very reasonable—only 1000 THB from Sukhumvit 20 in Bangkok to the floating market (about a 1.5-hour drive), followed by another 20 minutes to the Maeklong Railway. The railway is a must-see experience! Just make sure to check the train schedule, as it only passes at certain times. Best part—it’s free to watch. At the floating market, you can choose boat tours at different price points (2,000 / 3,000 / 5,000 THB), depending on how many stops you want to make. You can pay by credit card, but note there’s a 7% charge. The experience is mainly sitting in the boat while vendors come alongside to sell you things—it’s fascinating to see. Our driver, Jo, was outstanding. A very trustworthy, decent man who never pressured us into anything. In fact, he charged less than many others, so we gave him extra. The car was immaculate, modern, and we felt very safe the entire time. Jo speaks good English and uses a translator app when needed. One time we didn’t have the right change—he simply told us to pay the next day! We ended up booking him again for our airport transfer because of how professional and reliable he was. Highly recommend Jo if you’re looking for a driver in Bangko
