Amphawa Floating Market, Maeklong Railway, Fireflies Tour by AK Go

The Maeklong Railway Market was a truly unique experience, watching the vendors along the tracks quickly move their goods aside as the train approached. My only regret was wanting to experience the lively atmosphere of a floating market, and the Amphawa Floating Market wasn't quite what I had imagined. If you're looking for a more intense experience of trading with vendors directly on the water, I recommend choosing a tour to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market instead; it would be more interesting.

I highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Yang Ke, was incredibly professional and enthusiastic. He managed the time at each attraction perfectly, making the trip fulfilling without ever feeling rushed or tiring. His explanations along the way were vivid and insightful, and he thoughtfully arranged ample breaks between each segment, making the experience very relaxed and comfortable. Even though this wasn't my first visit to Thailand, Yang Ke's perspective allowed me to rediscover the beauty of the city. The floating market and the scenery along the railway were particularly unforgettable. Everything, from the transportation arrangements to the pace of the itinerary, was impeccable. It was a perfect trip that left a lasting impression!

Tour guide Cindy was wonderful 👍 And because of the rain, the driver worked so hard! It was pouring heavily that day, and I was worried we wouldn't see any fireflies at night, but to my surprise, there were countless fireflies that evening 😍 They even flew onto us! Due to the rain, the morning Railway Market and the afternoon Floating Market had a lot fewer crowds, and some shops were closed. Overall, though, it was still a great experience 👍 If I have the chance next time, I'd love to join again to see the fireflies 😍

We enjoyed the trip a lot, our tour guide Mr Somchai (Sern) was helpful and fluent in Chinese and English. The itinerary was well arranged, and we were lucky to see fireflies too.

It's the best way to start my Bangkok solo trip. The entire flow of the trip was so smooth and I really had an amazing time especially because of our tour guide, Alex! 😁 He took the time to explain everything both in Chinese and English and would accommodate every inquiry you have. Never regret booking this tour trip!!!

This one-day tour of the Amphawa Floating Market, Maeklong Railway Market, and fireflies was a fantastic experience! A special thanks to our tour guide, Ah Seng, whose fluent Chinese made communication completely effortless, and who provided detailed and engaging explanations of local customs along the way. The itinerary was well-organized and smooth, with a relaxed pace, and the hotel pickup and drop-off service made everything so worry-free. Overall, it was an unforgettable trip. Thanks again to Ah Seng and the driver, highly recommended!

This itinerary was very comfortable. The driver and the tour guide paid great attention to safety. The tour guide, Asheng, spoke very good Chinese and explained very carefully. The experience of taking the train to the market is highly recommended. Although the floating market is in the off-season and not many shops are open, it is also another kind of comfort to visit with fewer people. There will be some traffic jams on the return trip, but we still returned to the hotel at about the estimated time👍

The driver and Chinese tour guide gave us considerable free time! No problem communicating! And because there are elderly people traveling with us, the driver will take special care of us and provide support when getting on and off the bus! Very heartwarming! The tour guide Minmin introduced us attentively, taking us to drink coconut water for 20 yuan, Thai milk for 25 yuan... everything was quite wonderful! It is recommended that the firefly viewing cruise can be changed to a slow cruise in Amphawa (because this is a place where even locals come to visit, so it is suitable for a slow walk)

The tour is very nice , I am a solo traveler , she helped me take some nice photos ! we visited Mae Klong Railway Market today—such a cool experience! I also had crab fried rice at a seafood restaurant, and it was delicious! Part of our tour got canceled because the Thai princess was visiting, but we still made it to Amphawa Floating Market in the end! After visiting Amphawa Floating Market, we took a boat on the Mekong River and saw so many fireflies—it was beautiful! Sadly, my camera couldn’t capture them. A firefly even landed on my shoulder—I felt so lucky! Such a magical experience.

Our tour guide, Chris, was excellent! He spoke multiple languages fluently and was attentive to every guest's needs. We learned a lot about local history, and the itinerary was perfectly organized. There was never a dull or wasted moment.
