Passeios por Maeklong Railway

The tour guides we met this time were Bamboo and Aim. They were very friendly and provided useful travel information about Wukiu, such as the 1155 tourist dispute hotline, which has English and Chinese-speaking tourist police available 24/7 to assist with disputes and reporting. The journey was smooth, so it wasn't easy to get motion sickness. There were also charging ports on the tour bus (not sure if every bus has them). The tour that departed at 9:30 AM returned to the meeting point around 5:00 PM, and luckily, there was no traffic jam. We arrived at the Maeklong Railway Market around 10:50 AM at the end of August, just in time to see the train arrive at 11:10 AM and depart at 11:30 AM. The items on both sides of the tracks were a bit expensive; it's cheaper to walk towards the main road where there are more vendors. At the floating market, we were arranged into groups of six per boat. The boat would constantly stop at stalls selling goods, but they were overpriced. Unless you want the experience, it's not recommended to buy anything. The tour guide thoughtfully reminded everyone of this before we disembarked and also shared reasonable bargaining ranges for different areas. After getting off the boat at the floating market, there was time for lunch. The last stop, the Buffalo Restaurant, only offered coffee, desserts, and ice cream, not main meals. We spent about an hour at each of the two main locations and half an hour at the Buffalo Restaurant. Overall, I found it to be a very worthwhile trip and highly recommend it.

It was a very special trip. The tour guide explained in both Chinese and English and was very dedicated. Because the new highway was open, we arrived at Maeklong Railway Station 30 minutes early. If we had arrived early, we should have had more time for a meal, so we didn't have much time to eat. We saw the train at 11:00 and had to board at 11:20. We arrived at the floating market at noon. The original plan was to leave at 3:00, but the guide said we had to leave at 2:00 so everyone could use the restroom. We returned to the starting point around 4:00 PM, an hour earlier than expected. We could only wander around the area. As soon as we got on the bus, the guide informed us that tips were not included, so it was up to us to decide whether to tip or not 😂😂😂. This tour was very special, and having a little more time to explore would have been very interesting, but it felt like the guide was in a hurry.

We had a great time and so much fun with Mr Coconut! It was a half-day tour and he explained everything and took so many photos of us. Definitely recommended. He’s a good tour guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

我们通过Klook预订了丹嫩沙多水上市场和美功铁路市场之旅，希望让我们的泰国之行留下难忘的回忆。我们度过了美好的一天，旅行社（TTD Global）非常棒。巴士非常舒适，我们当天的导游组织得很好，友好又有趣。我们的导游P’ Nok也一路提供了很多信息和帮助。她确保我们所有人都知道在哪里以及何时集合。一切都像钟表一样精准。旅行节奏很好，没有匆忙。她是一位出色的导游！我还喜欢她能流利地说普通话/中文。我们非常享受这一天。这比我预期的要好。火车和乘船是亮点，尤其是在丹嫩沙多水上市场，我们欣赏到了美丽的河道景色，还可以享用免费的美味椰子冰淇淋！这次体验真的很值得——尽管去吧！你会爱上它的！司机也做得很好。我强烈推荐！

今天我们参加了铁路市场和水上市场的行程。 导游“Two”人非常好，平易近人而且超级有趣。司机也很棒。 整个行程非常棒。 我们还参观了一座被榕树包裹的寺庙，并在一家可以免费试穿泰式服装的餐厅用了餐。 强烈推荐导游“Two”、司机以及这次行程。

P'Nok was an amazing tour guide. She was very attentive to making sure everyone was accounted for and assisted with any questions we had about anything. She had a great sense of humor that kept me laughing too. The tour itself was fun and worth the value paid. The bus was well cooled for us to escape the heat. I felt safe the entire time.

我们非常享受这次旅行，我们的导游Somchai先生（Sern）乐于助人，并且能说流利的中文和英文。行程安排得很好，我们也很幸运地看到了萤火虫。

I was paired with the guide Champ, and he was attentive, patient, helpful, and funny. He made the tour quite a lovely experience. I left my phone at one of the cafes, and he had a Grab driver drop it off at my hotel. He helped with taking pictures and shared some of the history of Thailand – the floating market and the cafes. He offered helpful suggestions on how to bargain with the locals in the market. The only thing that could have improved was the weather... I was literally soaked in sweat by the time we finished. You will definitely need a portable fan; don't risk a heat stroke trying to look cool 🙃 I met a lovely couple from Australia who made the experience a touch better. Overall, don't hesitate to book, even as a solo traveler! Just bring enough cash, water, and a fan... there are no ATMs near the locations we went. I used most of my cash in the first two markets like a dummy 😂

I booked this tour twice. First in 2023 with my husband, then in Aug 2026 with my mom. And like the first time, everything was well organized, and we had a great experience. Our driver and tour guide, Warin, was wonderful throughout the entire trip. He was very kind and informative. He shared interesting information about the places we visited and took very good care of us from start to finish. We appreciated his thoughtful touches, like providing free ice-cold water and lending us a hand fan because of the heat. Warin is also a great photographer! He took so many nice photos of us. Driver, tour guide, and photographer all in one! The itinerary was packed, but everything went smoothly. It was a great experience exploring attractions outside Bangkok. Special thanks to Warin for taking good care of us.
