Things to do in Ratchaburi Province

We had an amazing day visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Maeklong Railway Market. Our tour guide, Apple, truly made the experience unforgettable. She was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, teaching us about Thai culture, useful phrases, how to barter respectfully, and recommending delicious local food to try. The stop at the coconut farm was surprisingly interesting, where we learnt about coconut farming and enjoyed browsing the fresh drinks and handmade coconut products. The floating market was vibrant and fun, although many stalls sold similar items. We loved exploring the canals and soaking up the atmosphere. The Maeklong Railway Market was a real highlight—we were lucky enough to see the train pass through twice! Watching the vendors quickly move their stalls was fascinating. The souvenirs here were also some of the cheapest we found in Thailand. Overall, this was a fantastic, well-organised tour we highly recommend it!

Our female tour guide was excellent; not only did she clearly explain the key details in both English and Chinese, but the experience was so good that you would definitely want to come back if given the chance to go on a similar tour. Keep it up for her…🙏🏻🙂

We booked our Damnoen Saduak and Maeklong Railway trip through Klook as we wanted to make our Thailand trip a memorable one. We had a great day, and the tour operator (TTD Global) was fantastic. The bus was very comfortable, and our tour guide for the day was well-organized, friendly, and great fun. Our guide, P’ Nok, was also very informative and helpful along the way. She made sure we all knew where to meet and at what time. It all went like clockwork. The tour was at a great pace, and there was no rushing. She is an excellent guide! I also love the fact that she’s able to speak Mandarin/Chinese fluently. We enjoyed the day immensely. It was better than my expectations. The train and boat rides were highlights, especially at Damnoen Saduak, where we had a beautiful view of the river channels and could enjoy an amazing coconut ice cream that is free! The experience was really worthy—just do it! You will love it! The driver did a great job too. I would highly recommend!

Our trip wouldn’t have been as amazing without Nok and our driver. They were both incredibly kind, professional, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire day. Nok was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and even took the time to help us choose local products after the tour. Our driver was safe, punctual, and made every transfer smooth and stress-free. Thank you both for making our Bangkok experience so memorable. We highly recommend this tour!

There are other Pink Ganesha tours available, but since my schedule was tight, I chose this half-day tour. I was a bit worried because it was advertised as an English-speaking driver only, but it turned out there was a Japanese-speaking coordinator, and all the tour participants were Japanese, which put me at ease. This was the only tour I took during my stay, but having a car made things so much easier! Without having to worry about transfers, I was able to enjoy the scenery from the car window and do some research, making it a very productive use of my time. Although it cost a bit, I'm glad I participated. We had plenty of time to explore the destination in just one hour after arriving. Please note that the local restrooms are not flush toilets and do not have toilet paper, so it's best to use the restroom before the tour or bring your own toilet paper.

We were very well taken care of by the Insea team. The itinerary was planned well and we saw beautiful sceneries. Was able to see some fishes while snorkeling but it's not crystal clear waters full or multicoloured corals (don't expect that). The hike up Oha Jun-Jaras nature trail was no mean feat (500m to the top but you can turn around at the various viewpoints for a similarly breathtaking view) Buffet lunch was alright. Koh Mae Koh was the last stop and it was very beautiful as well. This lookout point is only 150m but the steps are steep.

Our tour guide, Nut, was incredibly attentive and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. He drove carefully and safely, and the car was always clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with charging cables and tissues. During our journey, he not only provided real-time explanations of the sights along the way but also shared historical stories about Bangkok. He also made sure to arrange stops at clean restrooms at appropriate times. Throughout the tour, he introduced us to the historical backgrounds of many different attractions, was very considerate, and even proactively helped us take photos. The next time I visit Bangkok, I will definitely book him again and highly recommend him to my friends!

This is already my 3rd time to go to this market, but my first time booking via klook. We got upgraded to a tour with more stops, like the railway market. Our guide Tony made it very fun and he gave enough time at every stop. It doesn't feel rushed.

I had a wonderful experience with Mei, who was our tour guide today. Overall, the trip was excellent and very enjoyable. Mei is incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. She is also very confident and has excellent driving skills, which made the journey feel safe and comfortable throughout. What I really appreciated was her attention to detail and her kind, well-mannered personality. She explained each destination clearly and provided easy-to-follow instructions and directions, making everything smooth and stress-free. Her communication was clear and engaging, which helped us better understand and enjoy each place we visited. Mei truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and caring tour guide. Thank you, Mei, for making our trip so memorable!
