    Peter & Victor were the perfect guide and driver. They arrived early but allowed for us to finish breakfast. Peter brought us to the perfect location to capture photos of the train. He hand picked local fruit for us. The restaurant was delicious with a spicy rating from 1-5. We had plenty of time to shop. We enjoyed our boat tour which included a visit around the local waterways of the local farmers living and growing areas.

  • Unique and worth a visit - once only

    Both the Maeklong rail and the floating market settings are unique and interesting, but are very busy and do not offer good-quality items for purchase, just the usual predictable cheap tourist souvenirs. The floating market is too busy and noisy from polluting petrol boat engines. The old market, many years ago, with paddles and poles to propel the canal boats, was much more interesting and enjoyable.

  • Great experience!!! Unforgettable

    Our tour was made exceptionally memorable thanks to our guide, Johnny, who expertly navigated us to the Meaklong Railway Station to witness the amazing wonder of the train passing through the market, while his detailed historical knowledge of the floating river market provided a rich, cultural immersion. He crafted a truly delightful adventure that was perfectly tailored to our own pace and personal travel style, ensuring a stress-free and deeply engaging experience. Also, being constantly feed with local delights were so amazing. We are so grateful for his professionalism and passion, which transformed the day into the highlight of our trip, and we extend our many thanks for such a wonderful and personalized tour.

    Picked up from hotel at 7am sharp, our guide Johnny timed the journey to perfection so we were able to travel in to the market in style on the train itself which was an amazing experience, high fiveing the tourists as we slowly edged into the station Had some time ro wander and barter for souvenirs before being driven to the floating market, again another great stop travelling thru the canals, we ate mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream and a couple of chang beers A great and highly recommended day out with a great driver who kept us in ice cold water and a fantastic guide Johnny who let us go at our own pace but took us to the great spots to get the best views Thanks Johnny!!! And remember, Johnny Be Good!!!

    Watching the market fold away as the train approached was fascinating. The atmosphere is lively, and seeing the train pass literally inches from the stalls is something you won’t forget. One of the coolest things to see in Bangkok The market itself has lots of fresh fruit, snacks, and souvenirs, but the highlight is definitely the train passing right through the middle. The boat was amazing but in the train The vendors move everything in seconds, and then it all goes back to normal. Our guide ws AEY and she was incredibly amazing, she is from thailand and shared the culture with us. The driver is also 5stars: Mr O Thanks Aey see you next time

    Peter was amazing and the driver was very nice and a smooth driver. The tour was fantastic. We always felt protected and looked out for. It was our first day in Thailand and the perfect way to shake the jet lag with a friendly guide, good experience and great food at the floating market.
