The itinerary was quite packed, but we managed to see all the places we wanted to visit. It's a pity that we didn't get to visit the Amphawa Floating Market, which I heard only opens in the evening, although the beautiful café at the end was a local's collection. I think there would have been stalls open from 2 PM onwards for us to browse. At the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, it seemed our boatman didn't quite understand our preferences, as he kept taking us to souvenir shops that we weren't interested in. We weren't able to get close enough to buy the pancakes or grilled pork we wanted to try. The prices at Damnoen were quite inflated, whereas the prices at the Railway Market were much more reasonable. The tour leader was very professional and took great care of us.

Lunch was on our own, but it wasn't the typical expensive tourist trap. It was at a place called De Waree Boutique, which had a great atmosphere. The taste was okay, but considering the costume rental was included, the price was reasonable for a tourist area. Our guide, Ploy, took photos for us and even gave us posing instructions, which made for fun memories. Overall, the course content was excellent. They took us everywhere, and we didn't have to negotiate the boat price. In Mae Klong, we arrived right on time for the train. It was a very fulfilling tour and worth more than the price we paid.

The whole trip was very good. The tour guide was very responsible and even helped us buy incense, money, gold leaf, and fireworks for worship at the Temple of the Tree. They took us out to eat and drink, and I would recommend it to friends traveling to Bangkok. Also, we saw fireflies, it was my first time seeing them, an unforgettable experience.

Aside from being far away, it's perfect. A very unique market, but the boats peddling goods on the floating market are almost gone. Seeing the Christmas tree-style fireflies was definitely a highlight. The guide was great and shared a lot of interesting knowledge, leading us through the Buddhist ceremony at the temple in the trees. The driver was responsible, and we arrived at the hotel close to 11 pm due to traffic.

The overall trip was really awesome. It was such a tiring yet meaningful and significant day. Our tour guide, Miss Nancy has such energy and stamina to go through the whole day despite the scorching heat of the sun. To more trips and travels to Miss Nancy and to the rest of the TripGuru and Klook! 💚🫶

I had requested a Japanese tour, but since enough people didn't gather, I participated in the English tour. Xiaoai-san used a translator to explain things to me very carefully since I didn't understand the language. The driver was also kind, and I was able to make very fun and wonderful memories. The recommended pineapple fried rice at the restaurant was delicious. All the restaurant staff were also very nice. It's difficult to travel around alone, so this tour is highly recommended.

We booked a group tour during the dry season, unaware that fireflies are more abundant during the rainy season, but even though we were only two people, we ended up having a private tour. We were surprised to learn this on the day of the tour at the meeting point, but they gave us wet towels, cookies, and bottled water. Ms. Nalin, a female driver, drove us safely in a comfortable and clean car suitable for the number of people in our group. Mr. Samphan, the guide, was also friendly and seemed to try hard to explain things in English, and he also told us how to get discounts at the floating market. Children up to 3 years old can participate in the tour for free, so we were even more satisfied because we were able to participate with our baby for the cost of 2 adults, making the tour more affordable than other tours ^^ I've heard that group tours are often canceled if the number of participants is insufficient, but I'm grateful that they allowed us to take the tour with only 2 people without canceling it, and I recommend this tour to anyone who is worried that the tour might be canceled. We were able to see more fireflies than we expected even in the dry season~
