This tour offers a rare perspective on Thailand’s famous markets as you head to Ban Kalong Station. The station sits beside traditional salt farms. You board the train here to ride directly into the Maeklong Railway Market. Offering a different angle than standing on the tracks, you see vendors snapping their awnings back just inches from the moving train.
You then visit Wat Bang Kung. Roots of a massive Banyan tree hold the entire chapel together. It houses a golden Buddha image from the Ayutthaya era. The temple grounds celebrate Thai heritage with statues depicting ancient boxing stances and warriors.
Your evening concludes at the Amphawa Floating Market. Merchants cook fresh seafood on rowboats right next to the canal banks. You can explore old wooden architecture and taste local fruits like pomelo. A relaxing boat trip is included, taking you along the waterways where you can enjoy the charm and atmosphere of this historic community before heading back to your hotel.

Best ever experience

5.00This tour provided a unique and captivating perspective, offering tremendous value for the money. The guide, Pen, demonstrated exceptional attention to detail in crafting the itinerary, creating an experience that felt more akin to embarking on a journey with a close friend than a typical group excursion. The carefully curated activities and immersive cultural encounters allowed me to peel back the familiar veneer of Thailand's tourist hubs, revealing a fascinating and multifaceted destination that defied my preconceptions. Pen's warm hospitality, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for sharing her homeland's hidden gems transformed what could have been a generic sightseeing trip into a truly memorable and enriching adventure. I left Thailand with a profound appreciation for the country's vibrant traditions, breathtaking natural beauty, and the welcoming spirit of its people - an experience that far exceeded my expectations and delivered exceptional value.
Great for those needing a tour tailored to their needs

5.00Lin, the tour guide, and Kevin, the driver, took me and my husband took a wonderful private long tour. They were both wonderful; polite, informative and willing to work with our disabilities. We saw so much! Lin’s English was clear and she has a very good command of the language. Definitely recommend!
Rewarding trip
