Do NOT use Big Country Tours

We wanted to visit the train market and floating market and we did both and enjoyed both experiences BUT....the supposedly 'English' speaking guide we had paid for spoke very little English, we had a stop of 45 minutes on the way....I presuming so he could get his breakfast and have a smoke. No history of the markets or region given, he avoided us as much as possible at both places and on the way home laid his chair back over me and promptly went to sleep for the entire journey! The driver (non English speaker) had more about him than the guide! I have used Viator over a number of years but If you want to do this trip in particular via Big Country I would advise to shop elsewhere. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Misleading, False Advertising

We booked this tour primarily because of the railway market in Mae Klong. We were excited to arrive on the train, spend time in the market itself, and see the train leave the market while we sit right next to it. The itinerary on Viator advertises spending around 40 minutes in the market. So we were quite shocked and angry that we barely spent 5 minutes physically in Mae Klong. As soon as we got off the train, we only had a few minutes to take photos before we were briskly ushered away from the market and into the van to drive us to the floating market. We were particularly annoyed because other groups in the same tour got much more time at the railway market. It was a disappointing start to our day to say the least... Would not recommend.

It was awesome. From the start Mr. Aekaphol was really informative, pleasant and attentive. The experience of the train, railway market and floating market was unforgettable. Towards the end of our tour while in the floating market, everything started shaking. My friend and I thought it was because we were close to the water, to later find out it was an earthquake. After the tour they were going to drop everyone off to the train station for everyone to go on their own from there, but everything was chaos because of the earthquake. Traffic completely jammed not moving at all and the trains stopped working. We had no idea what to do to get to our hotel, but Aekaphol stayed with us to help us figure out on how to get to the hotel. After he asking around (thankfully cuz we don’t speak Thai), tried ordering cabs and nothing, he suggested for us to walk to our hotel, so we had no choice but to walk (which took us 2hrs), but Aekaphol didn’t leave us hanging and tried to help us out, mind you he himself didn’t know how he was getting home either and was way farther from home. We truly and wholeheartedly appreciate him not only as a tour guide but as person.
Great experience in Bangkok!
