It is a unique market that is held every day literally on the rail tracks. Just before the train arrives in the town, the market stallholders have to pull back their awnings and remove their produce from the tracks. They then have to repeat all of this when the train returns. Fortunately it is not a busy track. The train leaves four times and it arrives four times
Thailand’s most famous floating market "Floating" because mostly the vendors are in small paddle boats. The are many of these boats with the vendors in characteristic straw hats coming and going on one day to sell their produces, mainly foodstuffs from the surrounding farms and household items
Enjoy & Experience a Private Rowing Boat ride along the floating market & local canal life. Tasting some tropical fruits such as Young Coconut, Rambutan, Mango, Durian, Mangosteen and more
Wat Sam Phran (Dragon Temple) is notable for its 17-story tall pink cylindrical building with a gigantic red-and-green dragon sculpture curling around the entire height. The dragon that encompasses the building from the bottom to the top symbolizes a human's journey from sorrow to happiness and from hell to heaven.

Very nice experience, train and boat trip, well organized, fantastic dragon temple, we highly recommend
The trip begins with the congested traffic from kao San where I started the tour, you arrive at a stop, where after 20 minutes a train arrives and loads us and then stops every now and then to collect other participants, after 30 minutes of travel you arrive at a dead track, greeted by a festive crowd that takes a lot of photos of us, overall, nice, then continue to the floating market, where we are 1 hour, I had lunch with Thai pad cooked on a boat and is served at a table on land, finally I ride on a boat, and then last stop at the time of the dragon (horrendous) even at the global village of Dubai you do not see certain disgraces...
We booked a two day tour of Bangkok during our cruise stop in Laem Chabang. Mr. Chob was very responsive and easy to work with. Our tour guide Joy, who was fluent in English, was super energetic and friendly! She really made us feel like family and made sure we didn't miss anything, giving us numerous tips and being a wonderful photographer. Our short stay in Bangkok wouldn't have been the same without her. I'd wholeheartedly recommend booking any tour from Chob if you're lucky enough to visit this wonderful city!! You won't regret it.
I can't express what a fabulous decision it was to go with a private tour guide for those areas on the outer edges of Bangkok that are not easy to reach. I was so impressed with both the excellent communication and friendliness we received from our guide. I loved that she took photos and videos for us, many times without me having to ask. She also bought local fruits for us to try. I highly, highly recommend this!! Only thing I would say is that I learned more about the history of Wat Sam Phran's founder and it really turned me off to the place knowing that he is still loved by members of that temple. Knowing that now, I would not want to visit the temple again and would not recommend it to others. This is completely independent of the amazing care we were given by our tour guide and driver. Thank you to Ms Tai and also to our driver (whom I'm so sorry I forgot his name).
We took the trip to Maeklong Railway, coconut syrup manufacture and the floating market tour with Ms Joy, just the two of us, Ms Joy and the driver. She was an excellent guide - knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for us. We had a fantastic experience and cannot recommend this company enough. I will certainly take more tours with them when I am next in Thailand. Can't wait! PS I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!
This tour was the most magical experience! It was awesome and our guide Tai (I hope I’m spelling it correctly!) was the best ever — she became a true friend we will miss! She answered all of our questions so thoughtfully and thoroughly and just really guided us through the awesome spots we saw. We really felt like we were with an insider! Everything we saw was so cool. They even had ice cold towels waiting for us when we got to the car each time which is a godsend on a crazy hot day. Can’t say enough great things… I could go on…Just book it!
We did a tour straight from the airport in the morning with Ms. Joy and Mr. Tony, and we had the most wonderful day. Joy gave had so much knowledge and did everything to tailor the trip to give us a genuine and special experience for our family to remember. 5 stars, no doubt!!
If I could zero stars, I would’ve. We are 44 minutes past our pickup and zero communication. We were on time and at the pickup spot agreed to, and confirmed, last night. Multiple calls to the tour guide and operator from myself and the Viator agent, no response. Do not recommend.
Thanks and mostly, when our customers have booked us via Viator, then I provide a welcome message with our tour guide's name & contact and useful information to our customers In this case, we sent a message with all information to our customers as usual. In the evening before our tour, one of customer has sent us a message to changed a meeting point to unusual place for our meeting. Of course, I provided our tour guide's contact again and in the next morning, our tour guide and driver were there at a new meeting point as unusual place before 7:00AM and we couldn't find our customers and later on, they communicated via Whatsapp as well. We have some photos with timing to prove that we were at the new meeting point before 7:00AM and messages via WhatsApp with one of our customers We provide a full refund as soon as possible and we don't want to ruin our customers' holiday We are professional & experienced tour guide team and we LOVE our job
Our Guide Tai was great, she gave us lots of great info and had us try many new foods. We were able to see some great markets and of course the fun train as it moves through the market as everyone scattered. The floating market and boat ride were peaceful and wonderful. Even saw a whole bunch of Fireflies!! We had a great day our guide and driver were outstanding. A great way to escape Bangkok for a day and see what life is like in the Countryside.
Alex was super friendly, so kind and helpful. He was very knowledgeable and offered lots of great information. I loved that we stopped so many places and he got us good snacks along the way that were all included in our private tour. He was wonderful too at taking photos of us and capturing precious moments.
