Passeios por Wat Bang Kung

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.

I am Japanese. Although this tour was only available in English and Chinese, the guide explained everything carefully in English, so there were no problems at all. It's a full-day course from morning to night, but I'm really glad I participated because I didn't have to worry about transportation. I participated alone, but most of the other participants were families or couples. The small group size suited me well. The guide was also always smiling, kind, and polite. I highly recommend the Amphawa firefly cruise! It became a lifelong memory!

The tour guide was wonderful and very kind, ensuring a truly enjoyable day. I especially enjoyed the train market. I hopped on an individual boat as soon as we reached the floating market, experiencing a wonderful tour of the river. I grew up in New York, where we had many fireflies, so I didn't necessarily need to see them again, but I believe others truly appreciated it, especially those who haven't experienced fireflies in their lives as I did as a child. Overall, it was a great trip, and the tour guide was wonderful. I highly recommend it.

Amazing tour! P’Pi TWO was a very considerate, fun, and energetic guide. She made sure everyone was comfortable, kept the tour well-organized, and shared interesting information at every stop. Her positive attitude made the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have P’Pi TWO as your guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We first went to Salt Lake De Maeklong. It was a simple yet picturesque cafe. To my surprise, their drinks are at par delicious and of really good quality. I do appreciate how this cafe showcases Thailand's local Sea Salt production. The Maeklong Railway experience was unforgettable too. Though a bit crowded, we still manage to appreciate its beauty. Champ, our tour guide also recommended a place to eat and it did not disapoint. Food were delicious and affordable. Apmhawa Floating Market, stunning as always. There's something magical about that place. My second time visit yet I'm still in awe. The boat ride made the tour even more relaxing. Overall, the tour was an amazing experience. Feels like home, honestly. Another memory to keep. Our tour guide Champ, was funny, smart, and honest. I love that he converses in English well. My mom & dad had a great conversation with him. He was also patient with us. Overall, he's a cool guy and I highly recommend him.

The meeting point was very convenient, and our guide Oilly was also very attentive. We stayed at the Maeklong Railway Market for an hour, saw the train pass by, which was great. The Wat Chulamanee temple visit was purely for sightseeing, with no particular interest. The free Thai costume experience was a pleasant surprise; perhaps because we visited on a weekday, we were the only group of tourists, and the staff acted as photographers, taking many pictures for us. Dinner was also enjoyed here, with reasonable prices and good food. Finally, the boat trip to see the fireflies was also very enjoyable; seeing entire trees sparkling with fireflies, like lights hanging on a Christmas tree, was absolutely beautiful. The return point was the same as the meeting point, and Jodd Fairs Night Market was just across the road, allowing us to explore further, which was really nice.
