5.00This tour was a fantastic way to experience the unique side of Bangkok. Both the Maeklong Railway Market and the Floating Market were incredibly interesting and offered a glimpse into local life that you just can't get in the city center. Additionally, our tour guide is exceptional. He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable throughout the day with a great sense of humor!
Awesome

5.00Guideying very kind and friendly Clearly explain in simple English Not many people but still sent a large touring car The air in the car is cool. The driver also prepared the ice-cold wet towel and cake dried Very recommended seven and a half. Even if you get up early, you can avoid a blockade Two o'clock back to Bangkok. Spend half a day experiencing the rail market and the water market A rich little trip
