Mercado Flutuante de Amphawa, Ferrovia de Maeklong, Tour dos Vaga-lumes pela AK Go

Because I wanted to visit the famous Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, and I didn't want to spend too much time planning transportation, I chose this one-day tour. It made getting around much simpler. This tour had several points I found good, and some that could be improved. Pros: 1. This tour happened to have a guide who spoke both Chinese and English fluently. Their Chinese had no noticeable accent, and communication and asking questions were perfectly fine. The driver also drove very steadily. 2. This tour involved taking a train into the railway market, which offers a different experience from watching the train arrive from the ground. However, when boarding the train, it was packed with people, and there was nowhere to sit. So, you might want to consider if you prefer this kind of experience or greeting the train from the ground. 3. The floating market stop was three hours. I initially thought it was too long, but after leisurely browsing and having dinner, it was actually just right. Cons: 1. The pick-up vehicle was a modified van, and the seats didn't have seatbelts. Those concerned about safety should consider this. Also, because it was a modified vehicle, the air conditioning felt very ineffective. 2. The time spent at the railway market was less than an hour (including mealtime). I found it very short and didn't allow for proper browsing. 3. In the evening, there was a firefly watching activity by boat, which was quite unique. However, taking a 30-minute boat ride specifically to see fireflies, only to see them for less than a minute before speeding back, was... well... Another point worth mentioning is that the return trip to Bangkok city center will definitely encounter traffic jams, so please don't schedule any other activities. We arrived in Bangkok city center an hour later than scheduled.

The tour was very organized. We were picked up from our hotel on time by our tour guide, Bee. We enjoyed the Maeklong Railway experience (food, shopping, and the train ride). The fireflies were amazing; we're glad we did not skip that part of the tour. We were able to do a side trip to a mall on our way to the Maeklong Railway, thanks to Bee and our driver.

A friendly and accommodating tour guide, Roger. We requested a roadside stopover for sightseeing if time permitted, and it was nicely arranged. Also, the driver was a careful person. Roger's food suggestions were good and reasonably priced. Overall, it was a comfortable and leisurely private tour.

Facilities: The van was very clean and the air conditioning was sufficient. There were 6 of us that day and we sat very comfortably. Tour Guide: Please explain clearly. Train: Previously, I only watched the train from beside the tracks. This time, I could take a local train to the market... it felt fresh! Itinerary Arrangement: The timing was well-arranged, with enough time at each attraction. The time spent on the water might have been a bit long, but the weather was good that day, so we walked slowly, looked around, had dinner, and then slowly walked to the pier. The timing was just right! Scenery: The main focus was on seeing fireflies... luckily... there weren't too many... but at least there were some... the boat ride was also very comfortable... we were arranged to get on the car back to Bangkok at the disembarkation point... the timing was just right! Thumbs up!

First and foremost, a huge thank you to our tour guide, "Ah Sern," for his detailed explanations of the attractions and his attentiveness, which helped us understand Thailand better as a country. Train: Usually, we watch the train from below, but this was our first time experiencing what it feels like to be a celebrity, with people lining up to welcome us. Itinerary: Tour guide Ah Sern meticulously explained how to perform prayers in Thailand, which was very detailed. Scenery: Whether it was the car ride experience or the boat trip to see fireflies, everything was fantastic. Tour Guide: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A big thank you to Ah Sern; he also helped us appreciate the humor and wit of the Thai people. Facilities: All facilities and the itinerary were well-organized and never felt rushed or hurried.

Wawa ile harika bir seyahat deneyimiydi. Çok ilgiliydi, ihtiyaçlarımızı anladı ve bizi yerel ürünler almak istediğimiz dükkanlara götürdü. Tekrar teşekkürler.

It's the best way to start my Bangkok solo trip. The entire flow of the trip was so smooth and I really had an amazing time especially because of our tour guide, Alex! 😁 He took the time to explain everything both in Chinese and English and would accommodate every inquiry you have. Never regret booking this tour trip!!!

It's such a well-thought-out trip. I enjoyed it a lot. Mr. Pha is such a joy to be with; full of energy and smiles. I highly recommend this tour.

The itinerary was very comfortable. Both the driver and tour guide were very safety-conscious. Our guide, Ah Sheng, spoke excellent Chinese and explained everything in great detail. The experience of taking the train into the market is highly recommended. Although it was the low season for the floating market and not many shops were open, the smaller crowds made for a different kind of comfortable experience. There was some traffic on the way back, but we still arrived back at the hotel around the estimated time.👍

The one-day tour itinerary is not rushed, with plenty of time for each activity. Although it's in the outskirts of Bangkok, we arrived quickly. It's recommended to visit on weekends, as many stalls are closed on weekdays. Regarding fireflies, the guide mentioned that more are seen before the rainy season. If you visit at other times, be prepared to see only a small number of fireflies.
