Thailand Past Cultural Past! - It was a perfect Day. My driver arrived to my hotel as expected. At 7:00am we started the day with the Maeklong railway. An unforgatable experience. Thanks to the diligent Thai lady who took pictures of me and the train and even went as far as taking pictures under the train. The experience is amazing and goes fast. I bought delicious fruits and packs of dried slices fruits. If you are on your own you can buy clothes & souvenirs, drink a juice at one cafe to see the train pass and the stalls close and reopen after train passed. I loved the ambiance of the Maeklong train and I would do it again. The Damnoen Saduak floating markets are too commercialed. I did buy a couple of souvenirs but even if you bargain, everything is too expensive. I took pictures. Sitting in the boat was too cramped for me. What I enjoyed most was going along the canals to view the houses with their shrines, the walkboards for the locals to reach their house, the bananas & palm trees I really enjoyed viewing the culture and the vegetation at Damnoen Saduak floating markets. It is a very vibrant market with many boats full of tourists, it is worth visiting at least once or take time to walk for shopping. Ayuthaya was my last visit. A great place to visit and walk to see the the recling Budha, the pagoda, the gardens. The fee for the Maeklong Railway & Ayuthaya are very cheap. The fee of 1,000 Bhts for Damnoen floating markets is high in my opinion, but I have least enjoyed going along rows after rows of souvenirs on sales. My driver, sorry I did not catch his name, was an excellent driver. I felt secured and happy with his organization of the total Tour and exceptualy for telling where to go to see the major attraction for each site. It was extremely hot and tiring so it was invaluable to save time and visit quickly the site. Thank you for a perfect and well organize Tour. Thank you too, to my driver. We left the hotel at 7:00am and returned to my hotel at 5:00pm. Tired but very happy! I will recommend this tour to friends.

The best Bang for your bok! - Eddie was a phenomenal tour guide. He took us to all the places, gave us history, gave us jokes, 10/10 I would definitely want him as a tour guide again. Additionally, he took us to this amazing spot for lunch. The food was delicious and very fairly priced, if you are ever in Bangkok make sure you book a trip with Travel Guru, if possible, ask for Eddie

Bangkok Market and Temples Tour - Our tour was fun. We left from the BTS station exit 2 (entrance to the station ) then they accompanied us to the minibus. Our guide Nok was very good, he made us discover the characteristic points of Bangkok.
