Passeios por Wat Chulamanee

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.

Maeklong train market was pretty cool - Lots of market vendors of seafood and souvenirs. Very cool to see train coming through. Amphawa Floating Market had many food places and souvenir shops. It was a private boat tour and it was interesting to see the fireflies.

Als Alleinreisender hatte ich eine fantastische Zeit auf der Tour zum schwimmenden Markt Damnoen Saduak und zum Maeklong Eisenbahnmarkt. Es war ein so cooles Erlebnis, den Zug direkt durch den Markt fahren zu sehen! Der schwimmende Markt war farbenfroh und lebhaft, mit vielen köstlichen lokalen Speisen und Souvenirs. Unsere Reiseleiterin, Frau Wan, war freundlich, lustig und informativ, was die gesamte Reise reibungslos und angenehm machte. Definitiv ein Muss bei einem Besuch in Bangkok!

10/10 experience. You can see all the places within this timeframe, and it's highly recommended for those with limited time. Although it lasts about 12 hours, it's very comfortable, and the van was excellent and full of amenities (we were a group of 6). Our guide Jackye, even though she spoke basic English, was perfect, thoughtful, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed.

การเยี่ยมชมตลาดน้ำและตลาดรถไฟเป็นประสบการณ์ที่คุ้มค่าและคุ้มราคาอย่างแท้จริง บรรยากาศที่คึกคัก เรือหลากสีสันที่เต็มไปด้วยผลิตผลสดใหม่ และวิธีการขายสินค้าที่ไม่เหมือนใครของพ่อค้าแม่ค้าที่อยู่ริมทางรถไฟ ทำให้การเดินทางครั้งนี้เป็นที่น่าจดจำ ไม่ใช่แค่การเที่ยวชมสถานที่ แต่เป็นการดื่มด่ำกับวัฒนธรรมและชีวิตประจำวันของคนท้องถิ่น ทุกช่วงเวลาให้ความรู้สึกที่แท้จริง น่าตื่นเต้น และคุ้มค่ามาก

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 experience was great! Cindy toured us around the area and gave tips on what to look out for. She also gave us recommendations on where to eat for the rest of trip even if it’s outside the tour already. Cindy made sure everyone was comfortable and gave us free drinks and dessert (last photo is with Cindy) Asides from the tour guide, the whole trip was very fun! We loved the elephant experience. Even if it was just an hour, the experience was one of a kind. Highly recommend the tour!

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.
