5.00A great experience at two different markets in Bangkok. The first was the Train Market, stiflingly hot and extremely crowded, especially when a train passes by. The second one, on the water, was less impressive due to heavy rain, but worth it, especially if the weather cooperates.
Very focussed towards...

3.00Very focussed towards tourists. Fun to visit but I would not recommend buying anything from these markets due to the high prices. Very little aircon available during the trip.

5.00The guide super attentive and charming. The guide speaks only English and Thai, but uses the app to translate continuously if anyone needs it. I can only say that we were delighted with him.
