If anyone really likes Doraemon and wants to see the hand-drawn image on paper (a replica of the real thing), you must come. We came on a weekday at noon and walked around alone, like we booked the whole trip. It took about 45 minutes, reading every sign and taking pictures from almost every angle. The entrance fee is 590 baht, which may feel a bit expensive compared to the time spent walking around, but we got a souvenir acrylic pin, which cost quite a bit. But overall, it was okay.

The day I participated, there were 18 people on the tour. Wat Paknam → Lunch at Pink Ganesha → Free time → (Pink Ganesha was being replicated that day, so we also went to a nearby temple with a larger Ganesha) → Disbanded at the night market. It was a very good tour that we could enjoy all day. Our guide, Pairat, was very kind and easy to understand.

Although there were tourists from all over the world in our group, the tour guide explained the attractions to us in Chinese and English, and asked us if we had any questions about the attractions from time to time. He was very attentive and considerate.

I had such a great time at this cooking class! It was a truly unique and memorable experience — fun from start to finish. Everything was really well-organised, and the setup made it easy to follow along, even for beginners. The instructor- 'Plane' was absolutely awesome: warm, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. I learned a lot, laughed even more, made new friends and went home full and happy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a hands-on, enjoyable activity!

Definitely one of the highlights of our Thailand trip! My sister and I honestly did not expect much from the destinations but the smooth tour and our funny tour guide Jackson (last photo) made it memorable. We started on time, our vehicle was comfy and the drive was smooth (we slept well during transit haha). We got to appreciate the places we went to since there was no rush-- Jackson taught us "sabai sabai" meaning "taking it easy" during our stops. He also gave us tips on where to get the best deals for souvenirs and food. Thank you so much for this tour! Highlights: Floating Market- caricature drawing, coconut ice cream; Buffalo Cafe- cute buffalo, nice serene place to wind down; Maeklong Railway- cheap souvenirs + fruits!

Every time I go to Bangkok, I must come here for a buffet. The food standard is very high, the choice is rich, the chef makes it with care, and it is cost-effective!

There are traditional Thai boats, a park full of water, big trees, a magical Indian elephant temple, a huge local floating market, a coffee shop with a lot of atmosphere, delicious mango sticky rice, and a great tour guide. It is a small group trip and unforgettable.
