What a memorable day! - Fantastic day trip with Bond as guide and Mr Tiki our cheery driver. A great day with 3 outstanding experiences, the railway market, the temple and then the Amphawa market. We had a long enough length of time at each for Bond to quickly give us a feel for the place and show us some local foods on offer, then we had time to ourselves to explore the markets. The boat trip at Amphawa was included, it was an hour long around the river, we saw lots of fire flys. It was a great end to the day! Would defo recommend. - Helen, 43, from England, did the trip with my best friend.

Great experience - We had a fantastic experience on the floating markets tour near Bangkok! The itinerary was perfect, especially the unique experience of watching the train pass through the Maeklong Railway Market. Our guide, Eddy, was exceptional—incredibly kind and insightful. He shared wonderful stories about local culture that made the tour feel much more personal and immersive.

Quick and educational tour - Jacky and Uncle (driver) were very friendly and helpful on our tour. The coconut farm was a highlight that we did not expect. The lunch was very fast, too.

You first visit a... - You first visit a train market where you have about 30 min stay, then a temple where we spent about 45 min, and finally Amphawa where there is a food market but no floating market. The tour ends with a 1 1/2 hour. Boat trip.

The floating market and... - The floating market and railway market were fun, a must see if you want to see a little bit more of Thailand without going too far away from Bangkok. Seeing the vendors to move their stuff when the train arrived was awesome. It was not a five-star experience because although we purchased a tour that included the hotel pick up and drop off, it did not happen. We were asked to meet at the meeting point and been dropped off at the same spot.
