The MUST DO Tour when in Thailand

5.00Wow what an excellent day!!! First was the train which was a real highlight. Went for around 30 minutes and quite fast. The floating markets were fantastic as well and a new Thailand experience. Our guide was Patty. She was excellent and looked after our party of 12 without issue. Extremely good English and gave us the best vantage points for both activities so we weren’t delayed. Patty took loads of photos and videos for everyone and was so lovely. Couldn’t recommend a better trip. I read plenty of reviews prior to booking and a few said they were waiting around, etc for both of the activities to occur. We had no delays and the trip went extremely smooth. This is a must do trip when in Bangkok. We travelled with Bigcountry Vacation through TripAdvisor
Excellent experience.

2.00This was advertised as a half day, 6 hour tour leaving at 8am. When on the bus out of Bangkok we were advised that we would return to Bangkok at 4pm (8 hours). We were scheduled to leave Bangkok at 4pm so the day was very stressful. There is approximately 4.5 hours of bus travel and there is very little time to shop at either market.
Superb

5.00Very informative tour our guide Joe was knowledgeable and fun. The pick up at the hotel was great. Long commute due to lots of traffic but definitely an excursion to do in Bangkok.

4.00Great trip! As we travelled on the train to the market and then saw next train from tge market, so saw both sides. None of tge other trips did the train journey, so friends were jealous. But the guide,Hassan,barely spoke English so none of us understood him, def cannot class him as English. He was lively but not fluent. And we drove around Bangkok for 90 mins before being put on another bus for 90 mins more, that wasnt wxplained when booking. speaking
One- of-a- kind experience

5.00Riding the train through the railway market is a one-of-a- kind, fascinating and fun experience! The floating market is also quite unique. Our wonderful guide Patty was knowledgeable and helpful. She recommended we try the coconut ice cream, and she was right!
Interesting adventure but very touristy

4.00This is definitely interesting and definitely a tourist attraction. We found the floating market boat ride more fun than the train experience, but both are crowded with tourists - like us. We selected hotel pickup and the guide and driver were promptly on time. The 12 passenger van was older but the ~ 80 minute ride was as smooth as Bangkok traffic would allow. There was a rest stop 1/2 way outbound, nonstop return that ended at MBK Center for a short walk or tram ride back to our hotel. We felt the value of this tour was excellent and can recommend.
Thumbs up 👍
