The train experience was ok but the floating market went was too fast
Thank you for your review. We are glad to know that you liked the experience.
Good organization. It annoyed me only the fact that we spent only 40 min at the train market which was not enough for me.
Thank you for your review. The train market is relatively small, but we truly appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for itinerary adjustment.
They took us to both locations. I wished they would have started off with the floating market first then the railway market as that one we only had 30 mins to look around which goes by so fast and it had better deals for shopping. But other than that the tour guide let us explore and do our own thing which is what I was hoping for.
Thank you for your supportive review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience.
N ice place in a nice location. Go for it I recommend it and world stay here again. It is close to public transportation and shopping
Thank you for your review. We are glad to know that you liked the experience.
We enjoyed going to both markets and experiencing the floating market and the railway market. We appreciated the fact that we got to the railway market in time to see the passing of the train.
Thank you for your review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience.
It was beautiful. The guide was especially excellent. Don’t think it’s absolutely worth it. Try it out, we took 2 people around 1600 October 22
İncelemeniz için teşekkür ederiz. Deneyimi beğendiğinizi bilmekten mutluluk duyuyoruz.
The tour was perfect for half of the day since it started early in the morning. I liked that it had both the train and floating markets and included transportation.

Everything was perfect. Our kind and attentive guide. Visit as described. I recommend without fear
Merci pour votre avis. Nous sommes heureux de savoir que vous avez apprécié l'expérience.
I truly enjoyed the day. Turned out to be just 2 of us making it easy to maneuver the train experience and market. We had front row and some nice coconut water and the guide (fantastic) also picked up the tiny pineapples for us to share! So sweet in taste. Nice transport too!
Thank you for your review. We are glad to know that you liked the experience. Your kind words will be passed on to the tour guide.
This was a fun day and well organized tour but longer than expected and I would probably not recommend it unless you have a lot of free time in Bangkok. We were picked up just after 6:30AM from our hotel and did not return to the city until almost 2PM, and we spent the majority of that time (3-4 hours) driving. Both market stops are extremely touristy but are unique experiences. The train market was a good amount of time because the time that the train passes is only a few minutes. The floating market stop was a bit long. We opted to do the additional canal boat tour for 150 baht each and it was crowded and chaotic but good fun. After that, we could have done without the included speed boat tour but that did not take too long. The shopping is not particularly unique and very overpriced but again, it is a fun experience, good tour, and a decent way to spend a day in Bangkok.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to know that you liked the experience.
