Thana is a really great tour guide. He explains things very clearly and is also so funny, which made the tour even more enjoyable. He’s very fun to be with, energetic, and always guides us well at every place we visit. He’s extremely knowledgeable, and I learned so many things during the tour. He assisted us with everything we needed, which made the experience smooth and stress-free.
It was such a fun trip, and I really enjoyed the entire activity thanks to him. I’m looking forward to joining again next year. Thana is truly an amazing tour guide. I loved the itinerary—it was just perfect, and we were given plenty of time to take photos. Everyone was so patient. My trip to Bangkok, the Grand Palace, and the other temples was absolutely perfect.

Great tour for a family of 5 adults. Included a surprise visit to Chang Paul Camp for an elephant ride (own cost B700 per person), photo shoot with alligator and a cute monkey. The floating mkt looks different to what I imagine, dirty water, string smell of diesel from our boat, very busy boat traffic, shops selling similar stuff. Buying from a boat vendor was interesting. Had lunch at the railway market. Recommend to bring cash for payment, as all shops and restaurants charge 4-5% for credit card payments. Tour guide Cherry and driver were excellent and made the whole tour a comfortable experience.

The trip was great and full of laughter. I went solo and was lucky enough to make friends with some solo travelers like myself. Nicky was very friendly and supportive. I wish she could have explained more at the attractions instead of on the bus, even though I understand it was a way to save us time so we could have free time to explore! Highly recommend!

Safari World is actually quite interesting. You can experience feeding various types of animals, but everything costs extra... Especially since they don't allow you to bring your own water inside.... I recommend the bird park; it's only 100 Thai Baht. The birds provide a lot of emotional value, and even if you don't have food, they still flutter around you. The giraffe feeding experience is also great. It's quite unique inside that you can feed kangaroos!! The buffet doesn't have a huge variety, but I thought it was quite delicious, and the fish ball soup was tasty!! Our tour guide this time was CHOPIN. She was very responsible and enthusiastic. She created a lively atmosphere on the bus, explained basic Thai history and culture, and also gave us a simple animal tour. She answered every question and deserves a 5-star rating!!

Very good experience. guide felt really dedicated and crew were really helpful and avaialable all the time. the pace of the trip was reasonable and the time allocated for each place was enough to thoroughly go through the sites and take pictures. the ancient temples of Ayutthaya were absolutely a must see and i would have regretted not visiting them during my stay in Bangkok. overall pleased with the trip :).

Need minimum 6 pax for tour to proceed. Meet up was 10 mins before departure (8am), in a van (up to 10 pax). Given mineral water bottle each. Safari park includes the bus tour (with giraffes feeding at bus) and both crocodile show and elephant show. We paid additional 100baht (2 bowls of carrots) to feed giraffes/ deers/ zebras during bus tour, as well as 1000baht /pax for giraffe encounter (take pic with giraffes and zebras on a 4x4 vehicle, 1000baht/pax to take pic with baby lion (else can opt for 800baht for big lion). All extras can only be paid by cash at entrance of safari world. We love the train ride (4 stops) on death railway as it’s scenic on a very old train. Walk along small portion of death railway to a cave, and the River Kwai. Fruits (pomelo) sold there are cheap and sweet. Early dinner at Cafe, before heading back (arrived CentralWorld around 8.30pm).

Great! 💯It was supposed to be a join in tour but it became a private tour since me and my mom only booked it for that day. ❤️I booked the Ayutthaya + Floating Market tour with Klook, and it was a smooth, well-organized experience. The trip covered Ayutthaya’s historical temples, where you can really feel Thailand’s ancient history and culture. The guide explained the background clearly, making the ruins more meaningful, not just photo stops.
The floating market was a fun contrast — colorful boats, local food, and a lively atmosphere. Transportation was comfortable, the schedule was well planned, and everything ran on time. Overall, it’s a great option if you want to see history and local life in one day without stress. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Thailand.

What to know before visiting Bangkok

When you visit Bangkok, the Grand Palace is a must-see. It’s the city’s most famous landmark, home to Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The golden roofs and detailed Thai architecture show Bangkok’s royal history and rich cultural heritage.
Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
Across the Chao Phraya River from the Grand Palace, Wat Arun is one of the most beautiful temples in Bangkok. You can climb its tall central tower for amazing city views, especially during sunrise or sunset when the temple glows in the light.
Chatuchak Weekend Market
Shop like a local at Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of Bangkok’s most famous shopping spots. With thousands of stalls, you’ll find clothes, art, plants, and souvenirs. Don’t forget to try the local street food, from mango sticky rice to coconut ice cream.
Khao San Road

Tips before visiting Bangkok
1. Stay Connected with an eSIM
Before arriving in Bangkok, set up a Thailand eSIM so you can easily use maps, translation apps, and rideshare services like Grab. You can buy one online before your trip or at Bangkok International Airport. Having internet access makes getting around the Bangkok metropolis much easier.
2. Dress Code at Religious Sites
When visiting Bangkok’s temples, like the Grand Palace or Wat Pho, you must dress modestly. Cover your shoulders and knees, and avoid sleeveless tops or short skirts. Respecting the dress code shows appreciation for Thai culture and local traditions.
3. Greeting Customs
The traditional Thai greeting is the wai, you press your palms together and give a small bow. You’ll often see this gesture when meeting locals or thanking someone in Bangkok. It’s a polite and respectful way to connect with people during your visit.
4. Tipping Practices
Tipping isn’t required in Bangkok, but it’s always appreciated. Leave small change for good service at restaurants, hotels, or taxis. Even a small tip shows gratitude and helps support the friendly service culture in Bangkok.
5. Market Haggling
Shopping at places like Chatuchak Weekend Market or Patpong Night Market is a fun part of visiting Bangkok. Bargaining is normal, so don’t be shy to negotiate politely for a better price.
