Private Tour to the Floating Market and Bridge over River Kwai

Full day private tour to the Maeklong Train Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market including a long tailed boat ride, the Jeath museum, cemetery and the Bridge over the River Kwai at Kanchanaburi (note: the access to the bridge is on foot. If it is important to you, this tour does not include the train ride along the cliffside through the Wampo Viaduct). This was our first tour with Amazing Asia Tours and I must commend them on putting together such an interesting itinerary with many stops along the way and for taking us to a wonderful guesthouse in Kanchanaburi for lunch. This was the first time ever on tour where a tour guide said that we could order what we want from an a la carte menu (you just pay for your drinks, including some of the best Lassis I've ever tasted). We had an amazing amount of Thai dishes laid out on our table including dessert. The tour guide (Kannika?) was very nice and kind. She even bought us several bags of fruit from the traders at the train market. I would certainly look this company up again for touring when we are next in Thailand. Thank you for a great day. I did this same kind of tour in 1976 and again in 1994, but you made the trip truly unique.

Enjoyed the trip, very informative and our tour guide was really good and helpful (always making sure we had drinks and snacks and stopping at a services whenever needed). The only negative is it’s a long time in the car which can’t be helped given the distance but something to consider - it’s a long day! For that reason we think it was definitely worth doing the private tour so you can do things at your own pace.

An interesting and varied day exploring a floating market , a lunch stop on the banks of the river Kwai and then a final stop at the war museum and bridge on the river Kwai Our guide gave us some interesting facts about the market and how it had changed and also the history of the death railway.

Its a great day out but just know it is a very long day - Mira the guide was lovely, very knowledgeable and helpful. The floating market was very quiet but should get busier after covid - we went on the train over one of the most difficult bits of the railway- the view on the curve is brilliant- Sam the driver was great too.

Guitar was such a wonderful guide. My wife and I are a lesbian couple and felt very comfortable and welcomed by this guide. One of our favorite elements was his generosity in sharing connection with his family we ran in to along the tour. It was such a treat to feel such a welcoming. Also, he has such a great personality and joyful spirit!
