Additional Information
Amphawa, one of the most frequented floating markets in proximity to Bangkok, primarily attracts native Thai visitors. This village, which is situated 50 km away from Bangkok, allegedly dates back to the mid-1600s. Its immense popularity among Thai weekend holidaymakers has lead to the substantial growth of food vendors sprouting from the riverside and extending deep into the adjacent streets.

Klook tour amphawa floating market and Maeklong railway - Went on this trip with Klook, we joined the tour at Victory point. Our guide was Bo, and it was excellent from start to finish and great value for money. We had an air conditioned bus, rather than a minivan and good time and each stop. No was a great guide and gave good tips on Thai life and culture.

Amazing visit - 4 of us joined the tour to visit floating market and railway. The tour guide picked us at our hotel punctually. He is caring and brought us so much laughters.
Our group is small, only 10 of us.
The railway is eye opening experiences. The timing of every stop is perfect and we could go back in town by 7:30 despite traffic jam.
Good job.

Great tour guide but terrible driver - The tour content was as expected. The tour guide Dana was wonderful, and accommodating. The bus driver, however, was another story. The mini van itself was rather old and the driving was not great—very car-sickness worthy.

Great market but BAD VISIT TO CHANG PUAK PARK - We really enjoyed the visit to the floating and train market and we had enough time to explore and enjoy. Real value for money. HOWEVER, we were taken to the CHANG PUAK PARK. Without being consulted. It's the detention centre of a terrified baby tiger and a really stressed mother. Elephants are chained and ridden with saddles. I saw a baby monkey wearing a diaper and baby clothes. SAD ....
MAKE SURE U TELL them to avoid this if u an animal lover.
