Thailand Market Discovery: Amphawa & Maeklong Railway Market
Description
Amphawa is one of the most popular floating market near Bangkok, with visitors almost exclusively Thai. Located 50 km from Bangkok this once small village was apparently already present in the mid-Seventeenth Century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets. • Visit Thailand's floating markets on an immersive half day trip from Bangkok • Shop by boat along a riverbank in a longtail boat at a floating market • Buy plenty of unique and inexpensive traditional Thai snacks - the perfect souveniers from your trip! • Watch a train pass through the middle of a bustling market at Maeklong Railway Market

Went on this trip with Klook, we joined the tour at Victory point. Our guide was Bo, and it was excellent from start to finish and great value for money. We had an air conditioned bus, rather than a minivan and good time and each stop. No was a great guide and gave good tips on Thai life and culture.
Dear traveler thanks for writing to us . We hope you enjoyed our services . Continue travelling and keep on sharing your experience
The tour content was as expected. The tour guide Dana was wonderful, and accommodating. The bus driver, however, was another story. The mini van itself was rather old and the driving was not great—very car-sickness worthy.
Dear valued customer thanks for your response . We appreciate you for sharing your experience with us . Hope you had a great time. We have noted your points and make sure that we change our vehicle . Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
We really enjoyed the visit to the floating and train market and we had enough time to explore and enjoy. Real value for money. HOWEVER, we were taken to the CHANG PUAK PARK. Without being consulted. It's the detention centre of a terrified baby tiger and a really stressed mother. Elephants are chained and ridden with saddles. I saw a baby monkey wearing a diaper and baby clothes. SAD .... MAKE SURE U TELL them to avoid this if u an animal lover.
We very appreciated of your suggestion. we definitely dont support this very take care this. We love to give more good experience in future. Thank you Regards
We were a group of 6 persons and in last minute we decided to go for a tour so we were searching web and got sun leisure world so we contacted them Mr. Mandeep Singh was the manager with whom we talk and he organized everything perfectly Highly recommend this tour by sun leisure world 5
Well it was a great and memorable trip for me . These places are so fascinating and I really thank tour operator for making all the timely arrangement. Really enjoyed my tour to the best. Hope to visit more place .
4 of us joined the tour to visit floating market and railway. The tour guide picked us at our hotel punctually. He is caring and brought us so much laughters. Our group is small, only 10 of us. The railway is eye opening experiences. The timing of every stop is perfect and we could go back in town by 7:30 despite traffic jam. Good job.
Thanks a lot for your kind review we feel quite excited, we look forward to serve you again in Thailand regards
