Quality Thai Guide was a great group to experience the tour with. Very knowledgeable and flexible. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your review. Yours sincerely
Kris was an awesome tour guide, kind and thoughtful. He and the driver took care of us throughout the entire experience. The Railway Market and The Floating Market are both extremely crowded tourist experiences. Vendors selling Thai souvenirs and seafood line either side of the railway, with people walking literally on the tracks because there’s no room otherwise. Vendors quickly pull in their wares as the train slowly rolls through the market mere cms away from your face! The floating market was an assault to the senses, as the canals are super crowded with boats filled with tourists, stopping at various stalls along the canal selling more Thai souvenirs. Fair warning: the air is quite polluted with the smell of exhaust, as most of the canal boats are gas-powered. All in all, a very unique and recommended experience, especially if you’re with an excellent guide like Kris!
