Amazing Day Visit to Chachoengsao - What a great day - my husband and I were picked up from our hotel in Bangkok by our tour guide Mr Chan. He was a great driver, guide, spoke good English, made sure we had enough water and bathroom stops and went out of his way to make our trip amazing. Chachoengsao is about an hour's drive out of Bangkok, but well worth the visit. We visited a local market, saw some incredible statues and temples, had a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, relaxed during a boat ride down the Bang Pakong River and visited the Wat Pho Bang Khla temple and Wat Paknam Jolo temple (golden temple). We really enjoyed the pace of the trip and also visiting an area that was not touristy. Thank you so much Mr Chan.

Wonderful, peaceful and personalised - It was a very private tour as it was only the three of us with the tour guide, Toon. This was great as we were able to spend more time in each location and get a sense of the historical background of the places we visited. We started the tour with the 100 year old market. This was really quiet as we came on a weekday. To see the full extent of the busy market, try booking the tour on a weekend. We had already been to the floating market so didn't mind that there is not many people around. Makes good photo opportunities. Next was the temple where the Ganesh is. Here we took the time to take some nice photos and walked around. There is food here and some sounvenir vendors. Next was the temple with the bats, this was really interesting place, luckily the bats didn't bother us :) and just slept on the trees. The highlight of the tour, which my parents really liked was the Palm Sap Village. The vendor gave us lots of samples of the palm fruit and drinks to try, which were really delicious and flavourful. We got to learn how the palm sugar was extracted. This experience you can't get anywhere else. I'd recommend using this tour as it is small and if you're lucky become a private tour. The van we travelled is super comfortable and cool at all times. Try visitng chachoengsao before it become super busy with tourists as we can see a lot of road construction is underway

Beautiful sites in a remote part of Thailand. Lunch was wonderful in a great river side restaurant. The car was very comfortable. We would highly recommended this trip especially if you are looking to see some sites that are not on the common tourist trails.</p>

I and my wife had an incredible day... - <p>I and my wife had an incredible day out on 30 April 2017 thanks to Peter our English speaking guide. He rang our hotel in Bangkok the previous day and left a message regarding the pickup time in the morning. Peter was at the hotel lobby promptly and first drove us to the 100 years old market of Talad Khlong Suan. We browsed the stalls and strolled around the market for about half an hour and had an opportunity to purchase some items. Peter then took us to the temple of Wat Saman Rattanaram where we saw a collection of Buddhist and Hindu statues, most notably a Giant Reclining Ganesha. On the way to the temple he made us taste the most delicious pineapple and at the Saman Rattanaram temple we tasted the most refreshing coconut water. He changed the itinerary to suit us as we wanted lunch a bit later. We drove to Wat Pho Bangkla, a temple with magnificent reclining Buddha in the midst of trees filled with fruit bats. We have never seen hundreds of bats in broad daylight. We then headed down to the riverside and hop aboard for a boat to cruise along the Bang Pakong River. Afterwards we visited the visually impressive Golden temple of Wat Pho Bangkla. Our last stop was at the Palm Sap Village, where we had the chance to taste delicious palm juice. Peter checked with us as to what we would like for lunch and contacted the restaurant with our preferences. We had a typically Thai lunch at the local riverside restaurant before the journey back to our Bangkok hotel. Many thanks Peter.</p>

The temples and river cruise were very interesting and enjoyable. Lunch was in a beautiful riverside restaurant. The food was ordered in advance by the guide and was so-so. If you are concerned about eating good Thai food, I would interject and get involved in the food order. The market in the morning had great food and was a good first stop. We ate several things there.</p>
