A fun activity to do when you visit Thailand. Ancient city is like visiting everything in one place (but surely should go there for a full day at least to see all). We enjoyed the floating market the most and definitely will do again in our next visit.
The tour guide and driver are so accommodating. They helped us out through our tour. It was a smooth tour and no traffic. I love the places we visited. I get to ride an elephant with the tour’s recommended camp.
The tour was nice. Our tour guide Sataporn (Lee) is amazing and kept us entertained with some history during the ride. She made sure everyone was comfortable during our trip and consistently initiated picture taking at the best spots. She also gives good recommendations as to good places to buy food, clothes and souvenirs within the area. She also recommended trying traditional clothing.
I guess it is better to go not so early in Floating Market for you to have many option stores, we went there early morning and a lot of stores were still closed. Erawan Museum is amazing. Ancient City is big, you will see all the tourist places replica.
Chichi our guide was a big help when it comes to explaning Thailand’s history and religion. She also gave us a lot of tips on how and where to explore Bangkok. Floating market is far from the Erawan Museum and Ancient City, so I suggest book a different package as you will just waste your time in the travel hours in between these places.
I had the best time touring floating market, ancient city and Erawan Museum. Cha cha was such a fun tour guide and our driver was matching the vibe. It was really fun and enjoying to be with them. I felt like touring the town with my friends. For a solo traveller this meant a lot to me. Also, cha cha was a great videographer and photographer Thank you! 🙏🏻
The places and activities included in this tour were all amazing, shout out as well to our very friendly and helpful tour guide, Mr. Naret! The problem here was that we were not able to fully enjoy the ancient city and erawan museum anymore because of time constraints. The floating market and ancient city/erawan museum are at opposite sides of bangkok so travel times were huge. What i would recommend is to do the floating market separately, do it together with other nearby attractions there. But if you are like us who wanted to skip the railway market and other floating markets that is usually included in tour packages with damnoen saduak, and you don’t mind just spending an hour or so per attraction, then go for this! I still enjoyed the tour even when we had to hurry several times 😁
Our family had a wonderful day with Tom guiding us through the Floating Market, Ancient City, and Erawan Museum. Tom’s depth of knowledge about Thailand’s history and culture was outstanding, and he explained things in a way that was engaging for both adults and kids. Tom made everything smooth—from pickup to pace to safety. The Ancient City was brought to life by his insightful stories, and the floating market stop was perfect for trying tasty Thai snacks. The Erawan Museum’s artifacts and elephant-themed sections were explained with sensitivity and context. If you’re traveling with family and want a thoughtful, well-paced tour, book this one and ask for Tom.
The tour guide is very good, she also added the Maeklong Railway Market, so that my family and I can witness this wonder of the world. In addition, in such a hot summer, she also worked hard to take pictures for us, and also led us to take pictures in more distinctive places, which made me and my mother very happy. In addition, she also recommended to go to Chinatown for dinner, so that we can visit Chinatown and enjoy the delicious bird's nest, which is really a very rich journey.
Had an awesome time travelling around the famous hot spots in Thailand. All thanks to our lovely tour guide, Patrick. He is a pleasure to be around with and is very knowledgeable about both cultures and history. The landmarks were mesmerising and breathtaking. Overall such a wonderful experience (10/10 ) 🤩
