I thought the railway market would be the only highlight, but I actually liked both places. The floating market was fun for browsing and trying snacks from the boats. Nate was relaxed and gave us useful suggestions without talking nonstop. That suited us perfectly.

Tip was the kind of guide you feel comfortable asking anything. She knew where to go, what to try and when the train was coming. I especially liked the little food stops at the floating market. We came back with lots of photos and a very good memory of the morning.
We bought some fresh fruit from the boats on the river which was really cool. The coconut ice cream was so good too! Paula was super sweet and showed us all the best spots.
Seeing the train come right through the market was even better than I expected. We got a great spot for photos and Audrey knew exactly when the train was coming, so we didn’t miss anything. After that we went to the floating market, took the boat through the canals and had time to look at the food and little shops along the way. Audreywas easy to talk to, kept checking that everything was okay and gave us some good local tips. Really nice morning and I’d recommend going with him
Getting picked up right from our hotel in a cool and comfortable car made everything so easy. The most amazing part was seeing all the shop sellers fold their umbrellas away right before the train came past! We also enjoyed the peaceful private boat ride and the tasty coconut ice cream. Everything was so easy and fun with Kay helping us all day!
We had an amazing experience at the Train Market and the Floating Market! A huge shout out to Poppi for making this day memorable for us. She was an amazing guide helping us find the best bargains and enabling us take perfect pictures at both the places. She was kind enough to carry our shopping bags helping us manouvere the thick thoroughfare! She also brought refreshments for us throughout the trip which were delicious! It was indeed a very pleasant day out and we cant thank Poppi enough for this .
Preecha was an awesome guide!!!! Very personable and fun. Showed us all the tricks to have a good time. Very knowledgeable. Even showed us how to bargain. Made the tour extremely fun. My whole family loved him. Definitely glad we booked this tour and he was our tour guide. Will definitely tell my friends coming to Thailand about him.
Definitely one of those "only in Thailand" experiences. Great food, cool sights, and Athens kept everything lively and fun from morning till afternoon.
Was worried this day trip might be too tiring for my mom and dad, but it was super comfortable. Nate was very patient with them and found shaded spots for them to sit while waiting for the train.
I was smiling the whole time when the train came through the market. It was much more exciting seeing it for real than in videos. Tip knew a good place for us to wait and gave us a few useful tips before we went to the floating market. Really liked this trip and would recommend it.
Poppy was so sweet and energetic! Watching the red and yellow train pass just inches away from the fruit stalls was crazy. She also found a nice shaded spot for us to relax and have a cold drink after walking around. Loved it!
Paula did a great job keeping us on schedule. We got to the railway market right before the train arrived for a great viewing spot. Afterward, we had time to sit down for a fresh coconut juice near the canal. Solid tour!
Kay was such a lovely guide! The floating market was super lively, and she bought us delicious coconut ice cream served right in a coconut shell. Seeing all the fresh mangosteen and rambutan along the railway tracks was so cool too. Thank you Kay!
Kay made our market tour so easy and enjoyable. Drinking fresh coconut water while cruising on the longtail boat was definitely the highlight for us. Highly recommend booking a private tour with Kay!
We had a blast! Bought some neat souvenirs at the railway market, had a lively boat ride through the canals, and finished at the old brick temples in Ayutthaya. Tip was extremely polite and thoughtful, always making sure we were comfortable.
We had the best time with Kay. She helped us take awesome photos in front of the Maeklong Station sign and found us a great spot on the platform to watch the train pass right through the market. Everything was smooth and very well organized.
This tour was exactly what we were looking for. The Railway Market was lively and unlike anywhere we've been before. Cruising through the canals gave us a chance to see local life from a different perspective. Everything went very smoothly.
The timing was excellent. We arrived just before the train came through, so we didn't miss the highlight. After that, exploring the floating market by boat was relaxing, and the local desserts were delicious.
A fantastic experience from beginning to end. Watching the train arrive was something I'll never forget. The floating market had a relaxed atmosphere, and we enjoyed sampling local snacks along the way.
One of the most memorable experiences during our trip to Thailand. Watching the train pass through the market was incredible, and the boat ride around the floating market was peaceful. I also loved the coconut ice cream and fresh mango sticky rice.
We had a wonderful day exploring both markets. The Railway Market was full of excitement, while the Floating Market was calm and charming. Ending the trip with mango sticky rice made the day even better.
Paula knew where to take good photos at the railway market and helped us get a group picture before the train came through. She was cheerful and made the journey between the two markets fun. We also enjoyed the coconut ice cream she prepared for us.
The early start was worth it once we arrived at the railway market before the larger crowds. Annie managed the schedule well and gave us enough time to look around after the train passed. The floating market was vibrant and the boat ride was a fun way to explore it.
The pick up was on time and the van was clean with good air conditioning. Kay was smiling from the beginning and spoke very good English. At the Railway Market she found a nice place for us before the train arrived. It came much closer than I expected and everyone was waving. After that we went to the Floating Market and took a private boat through the canals. Kay also gave us water and checked many times if everything was okay. Very good service and a fun morning.
Seeing the vendors move their umbrellas and goods before the train passed was the most interesting part of the day. Annie kept us informed about the timing and found a good place for us to watch. She also answered our questions about the market and local life. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!
At the Railway Market, we had time to walk along the tracks and see the fresh fish and other products sold right beside the railway. Tip was very helpful and explained the small details we would not have understood by ourselves. She knew the timing of the train, helped us find a safe place to wait and answered all our questions. I especially liked that the tour did not feel too formal. It felt like spending the morning with a friend who really knew the area. This trip showed us more than the usual tourist pictures. During the boat ride, we passed wooden houses beside the canal, small workshops, local boats and even a large monitor lizard resting near the water. Some areas were busy with souvenir stalls, while other parts felt very local and quiet. Thank you, Tip, for making this trip so enjoyable and memorable!
I came with friends, and we had a good time. Peter was easygoing and helped us get the best out of both markets. He showed us where to stand at the railway market and helped arrange the boat at the floating market. The tour was simple, fun, and the service was good.
Peter took very good care of us during the tour. He explained the plan clearly before each stop, so we always knew what was happening next. The railway market was crowded, but he helped us find a good place to watch the train. The floating market boat ride was also easy and enjoyable because everything was arranged for us. The driver was careful, and the car was cool and comfortable.
Katie was a brilliant guide! The tour was fabulous, she knew all the best places to shop and eat. She took great photos too! The van was very comfortable and air-conditioned. She also gave me hints and tips for my whole stay in Bangkok.
We had an amazing day tour from Bangkok with NocNoc Tours, and our guide Katie made the experience truly unforgettable. Communication was excellent from several days before the tour. Katie kept us well informed, answered all our questions, and made everything very easy and stress-free. On the day of the tour, she and her driver were exactly on time at the meeting point. Katie was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Thailand. She made every stop interesting, educational, and enjoyable. One of the unexpected highlights was the fruit tasting during the drive, which was a fun and delicious way to experience local flavors. The entire tour felt relaxed and never rushed. We had plenty of time to enjoy each location, making the day both comfortable and memorable. We also really appreciated the flexibility at the end of the tour. Instead of dropping us back at our hotel, Katie kindly arranged to drop us at another location in Bangkok, which saved us valuable travel time and fit perfectly into our plans. Thank you, Katie, for your kindness, professionalism, and enthusiasm. We highly recommend NocNoc Tours to anyone visiting Bangkok and would gladly book another tour in the future!
This was our first time visiting Thailand, and this tour was a great introduction to local markets. Paula was friendly, organized, and explained things clearly. The railway market was very exciting and completely different from anything we had seen before. The floating market was fun, colorful, and full of good food. We enjoyed the boat ride and liked that there were many small souvenirs to choose from. It was a comfortable and enjoyable private tour, especially for first-time visitors.
This tour was a perfect mix of local culture, food, and fun sightseeing. Paula was very kind and professional, but also relaxed and easygoing. She knew where to stand at the railway market so we could watch the train pass safely and still get good photos. The floating market was busy in a fun way. There were so many colors, smells, boats, and food stalls. We loved sitting in the boat and seeing everything from the water. It felt very different from the usual temple tours, and we really enjoyed it.
Katie made our Bangkok trip so much more enjoyable. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the city’s culture, history, and hidden gems. We explored places we never would have found on our own, and every stop came with interesting stories and local insights. She was also patient, well-organized, and happy to answer all of our questions, making the experience feel personal rather than rushed. If you’re visiting Bangkok and want an authentic, memorable experience, I highly recommend this guide. Thank you for making our trip so special!
Poppy was lovely and very helpful throughout the tour. She explained the markets, helped us understand what was happening, and gave us enough time to enjoy both places. The railway market was exciting, especially when everyone started preparing for the train to come through. The floating market was bright, colorful, and full of life. We enjoyed the boat ride and bought a few small souvenirs. Poppy also treated us to mango sticky rice, which was delicious and honestly one of my favorite snacks in Thailand.
We had such a fun day on this private tour. Alex was friendly, easy to talk to, and explained everything in a way that felt natural. The railway market was honestly amazing to see in person. I had watched videos before, but standing there while the train slowly came through the market was completely different. After that, the floating market was colorful, busy, and full of energy. We took a boat ride through the canals, saw lots of little shops, and tried some local snacks. It was a great mix of culture, food, and fun. Very happy we booked this tour.
Katie was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We had an excellent time at the Railway and Floating Market. The coconut and mango sticky rice was delicious! We highly recommend this tour company and Katie!

The car was very comfortable and the driver was great too. Very professional service!
We were thoroughly impressed with the level of service provided by Alex. She is a very well-mannered woman with a deep understanding of Thai culture. The transition from the Railway Market to the private boat at the Floating Market was seamless. We particularly appreciated the cold water provided throughout the day. Splendid job.

Our tour started with a convenient hotel pick-up in a comfortable car, and the drive was about one hour to train market. Preecha was a great guide and made the journey very easy. Seeing the train at the Railway Market was a real thrill, and we loved the colorful atmosphere of the Floating Market. Preecha was very professional and ensured we had a great time. It was a very well-managed trip!
We loved our day with Som. She is so thoughtful and kind. She made sure we were always in the shade and had cold drinks. The markets were amazing, but Som made the trip perfect.
What a brilliant day! Preecha is a total legend funny, energetic, and kept us laughing the whole time. He knows everyone at the market, so we felt like VIPs. The train passing through the market is something you just have to see once in your life. Preecha’s organization was perfect. No waiting around, just pure fun. Ask for Preecha if you want a guide with a great personality!
We took this private tour with Peter and it was genuinely impressive. The Railway Market is just bizarre and brilliant. A train passing meters from fresh fruit and veg! It’s something you have to see to believe. Peter was great; he knew exactly where to stand to get the best view and explained how the vendors manage it all. The Floating Market and canal ride were also great, showcasing a totally different side of local life. Peter was efficient, clear, and clearly loves showing off his country.
Our family had a great time today. The Railway Market is fascinating, it’s amazing how the vendors move so quickly for the train. Som was a brilliant guide and very patient with our kids. At the Floating Market, we enjoyed a relaxing boat ride and saw so many cool souvenirs. Som was so thoughtful and bought us some mango sticky rice to try. She really looked after every detail for our family. A perfect day out!
