Victor, Big Bird (the tour guides name), and king the driver were all super nice and welcoming. The communication was flawless and detailed. The pick up time was communicated around 6-8 PM the day prior to the tour. They provided water, toilet tissue, wet wipes, and local snacks (organic banana, logon, Logan, and coconut crackers) for us to try in the bus ride.

We will leave Bangkok and travel to the train station, which takes approximately 1.5 hours.
We will take a scenic, non-air-conditioned local train ride through the Thai countryside, with everything passing right next to the train. The ride to the train market takes approximately 1 hour.
At the Maeklong Railway Market, witness the heart-pounding spectacle of a train weaving its way through the bustling stalls. The lively atmosphere, colorful vendors, and unique charm of the market make it a feast for the senses. Take time to explore, shop for local treasures, and capture unforgettable photos. Please keep in mind that the market nowadays is quite touristy and the drive to come here from Bangkok is almost 2 hours.
Continue your journey to the pier, where a traditional long-tail boat awaits. Glide along tranquil canals lined with water villages, offering a glimpse into local life. Your destination is the world-famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a vibrant hub of activity where boats laden with fresh produce, snacks, and crafts float by in a dazzling array of colors. Stroll through the market or enjoy a leisurely boat ride as you savor delicious Thai delicacies and soak in the unique ambiance of this iconic destination. Please keep in mind that the market nowadays is quite touristy and the drive back to Bangkok is approximately 2 hours.
We will return to Bangkok, which takes approximately 2 hours depending on traffic. The tour ends at MBK Center.

Very interesting and well organised experience but I didn’t realise that these were tourist only markets. The only shoppers were tourists and the only items for sale were souvenirs…..a good day out but don’t expect to authentic shopping The train ride at the end was a nice touch as we drove through the market that were just shopping in
My husband and 2 adult kids did this tour, it was worth it! We had a great time with Tum Tum and Maria as our guides...they were very nice, kind, funny and very informative with the history of Thailand and the area we were going to. They also gave us good tips on where to eat and what to buy. The train was a nice experience...no a/c so it was hot but you got to see the countryside so I would say just do it! Entering into the train market was an experience...keep your hands inside. Buy souvenirs at the train market it is much cheaper than the floating market. Floating market was an experience too...make sure you get sticky rice with coconut or mango. And Coconut ice cream, both were good! All in all we had a great time and would recommend doing this tour with this company! Tum Tum & Maria were the BEST guides!
Maria and Tum Tum are great. They are funny and polite. You don’t need to worry about you can lost, they will find you and wait for you if it’s necessary.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Highly Recommend Tum Tum & Maria! We had an amazing experience with Tum Tum and Maria! Both were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They made sure everyone was accounted for at every stop, comfortable, and knew where the restrooms were. They also shared great tips on bargaining, shopping, and local food! Our family of four loved the floating market canal boat ride and scenic train ride. We learned so much about Thailand’s history and enjoyed plenty of snacks along the way! Tum Tum and Maria truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. 10/10 would definitely recommend! 🇹🇭❤️
Tum Tum and Maria were amazing tour guides!
Tum Tum and Maria were amazing tour guides. Full of amazing information and specialist knowledge. We had a wonderful time, a new experience around every corner. We were very looked after.
Chip and Woody were such great guides! The tour is very nice to see and experience the markets.
Woody and Jeep were wonderful tour guides. We really enjoyed our day tour. It was great seeing places outside of Bangkok.
Good tour. The floating market was fun. Guide was very nice. Train ride was nice but too hot. Market was fun.
Oki was a wonderful tour guide , ensuring everyone was safe and comfortable. Beautiful place, slightly crowded at times, overall make the best of it .
Best guides: woddy and Tutka!!!!
Absolutely amazing experience. Our guides NJ and Luna were super helpful! They shared a ton of information about both the markets, highly professional yet friendly, extremely punctual and great to converse. They even taught us how to bargain in Thai! The tour itself was quite great as well. The railway market was the highlight for us, but we also enjoyed the floating market. Would recommend shopping in the railway market instead of the floating market. Overall, 100% would recommend!
We had an absolutely amazing experience today! Our guide was fantastic from beginning to end — friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and full of positive energy. The Floating Market and the Maeklong Railway Market were both incredible experiences. Everything was perfectly organized, and our guide made the entire trip even more special by sharing interesting stories, local insights, and making sure we enjoyed every moment. We loved discovering the local culture, tasting the atmosphere of Thailand, and seeing these unique places with someone so passionate about what they do. Thank you for making our day unforgettable! We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Bangkok! 🇹🇭❤️
They are lovely, they guide as in anything we do with fun and professional
The guides NJ and Luna are very kind, friendly, and accommodating. I am glad we have booked this tour and have them as our guides. This made my Thailand trip more enjoyable and very memorable.
I like how they handle us NJ and Luna are energetic, kind and cool. They are the best tourist guide for me. I like the experience in train. Thank you!
It was a great tour with the help of our guides, NJ & Luna... The tour became much much more happier. I love the tour so much, would recommend it for someone who visits thailand for first time.
Had an amazing experience, tukta was really good, friendly and informational, would recommend
The tour was great . my guides were Luna and Yote . I came with my mother who is slightly handicap and they did an excellent job of taking care of her and making sure that she was secured the entire trip.. we were able to bring our wheelchair and she was able to do the tour with combo of wheelchair and walking stick ! they were so friendly !!!! very educational story telling . left with great pictures and new knowledge! oh and a boat ride to the last temple was great ! we feed the fish had lunch . it was a good day
The whole experience was very special and unique. Of course, the weather can affect but that’s out of anyone’s control, just know the heat is very intense and it’s not a fancy activity. Must say that our guides Woody and Maria were absolutely amazing, they took good care of us, explain and help with everything, even got us some treats. The bus was comfortable and they offer pickup service to your hotel.
It was a fun experience & our tour guides were so friendly which made it so much better!
It was an amazing experience. Both guides are very nice and friendly. I really recommend this tour.
An absolutely amazing experience! The floating markets and railway market tour was incredible, but what truly made it unforgettable was the fantastic team who accompanied us! From start to finish, they were incredibly kind, friendly, attentive, and so much fun! They made us feel welcome and ensured we enjoyed every single moment. Their positive energy, great sense of humor, and professionalism made the whole experience even more special. We couldn’t be happier and are leaving with wonderful memories! Highly recommended, 100%! Thank you for such an unforgettable day! ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
Alexa and NG were amazing guides. We really enjoyed our time, especially the train market. Very charming experience.
Really great experience, they were very thoughtful on the tourist traps orientation! Awesome guides!
It’s a nice trip to see the country side beyond Bangkok. However, both the railway market and the floating market are for tourists. If you are looking for something authentic, that is not the tour you want.
Our guide was very accommodating and made the trip very fun and enjoyable. I really liked the river market tour.
Our tour guide, Jum, was very knowledgeable and attentive. She had great suggestions and was always there when we needed her. The train market and floating market were lovely and a great experience. The tour was very good and we saw and ate a lot. We appreciate Jum and our driver for all of their help.
Thank you Patu and Maria for being such great hosts! We had so much fun. We especially enjoyed the convenience of this journey by being picked up from our hotel, traveling in a tour bus to the train stop and floating market. Thank you for also informing us so much ahead of time of what to expect and what are considered good prices for shopping and eating. The pineapple friend rice and spring rolls was one of our favorite snacks from Wandee Authentic Thai Food Recipes.
Great experience. Highly Recommended. Our guides were great, Maria and Phathu were great and professional. Well organized and good timing.
Our guides Patu and Maria were awesome! Very attentive and friendly. I was traveling solo and Maria always made sure I was in the bus and train. Definitely worth it to experience the culture and see outside of touristic areas.
Amazing experience. Good organisation, very good people and atmosphere ! They help you a lot.
Woody and fara were excellent guides. So attentive, making sure everyone was ok and giving us snacks!! This is a great value for money tour, I really enjoyed it!
Vey good experience, the guides were Kwan y Maria and they were very nice, they explained everything very good and a nice itinerary and organitation
We had an amazing time on this tour! 🇹🇭 Both the Floating Market and the Railway Market were fascinating and unique experiences. Everything was very well organized, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. Watching the train pass right through the market was unforgettable, and exploring the floating market was a real highlight. A fun and authentic way to discover Thai culture. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok! ❤️
The tour was great Victor was a great guide and communicated well and ensured that he gave attention to every member in our small tour group. Wiiag was good driver Sharing multiple Thai snacks was a nice touch Will highly recommend it

I had an amazing time one of the best floating markets in bangkok. Actually, the original footing market in Bangkok, it was a amazing experience. I found items that I couldn't find Anywhere else. I'm truly grateful for the tour guide for helping us navigate everything she was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone.
Really great experience!!! the people there were so kind our tourists were really kind and nice. They kept a smile on your face/ their faces the whole time. they gave us snacks for us to try. They made sure that everybody got on the train and got back on the bus. Nobody was left behind. Overall, a really good experience and I 100% recommend I have no complaints
Really cute guides (Woody and Fara) and also good organisation. Thank you for the great day :))
Amazing time definitely recommend 10/10 experience’ Our guides Woody & his partner where amazing! It was planned out and went smoothly! If you’re coming to Thailand, make this one of your destinations! You won’t regret it!

They were both super friendly and full of genuine enthusiasm. A very well ran efficient tour, had a great time! Thank you both!
The best tour, the best guide. Wanna was a wonderful host
Such an amazing day from start to finish, tour guides and driver Victor and nok were so much fun. Would definately recommend.
We had a fabulous day trip with Woody and Jenny. The tour guides were well organised and everything was seamless. They also offered sanitiser spray and wipes which was extremely handy. Tour itinerary was great too snd plenty of free time allowed at each location. Recommend bringing your own headphones so you can listen to the audio files made available to you on the day. Highly recommend the tour and it represented great value at under AUD $40 per person!
Good mix of activities. Well organized from pickup at the hotel, buss to floating marked, boat trip at floating marked and the main attraction railway marked. Very good guides Woody and Jenny that organized without any delays.
If you want to spend 8 hours to see the real side of Thailand this is the best way
Victor, Nok and Singer the driver were amazing. They're extremely kind and friendly, the trip was fun and informative. Definitely do this tour with them, it made the experience much easier and enjoyable!
