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.

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!
