Highlights
- Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub) - It is a unique market that is held every day literally on the rail tracks. Just before the train arrives in the town, the market stallholders have to pull back their awnings and remove their produce from the tracks. They then have to repeat all of this when the train returns. Fortunately it is not a busy track. The train leaves four times and it arrives four times

Lovely tour with Joy! - Great tour with Joy today. She is lovely, attentive and knows so much! We visited Maeklong Railway Market, Damnern Saduak Floating Market, took a long boat ride through the canals and visited markets in Bangkok. Joe's desire to share her love for Thailand and the Thai culture is infectious. We look forward to two more full day tours with Joy

The best experience you can have in Bangkok - This is one of the best tours I’ve ever done. George our tour guide was so amazing, knowledge and kind. I could not say enough great things about him and the tour company. They picked us up at our hotel at 7am and went above and beyond all day. Even stopped on the road to get me a fresh coconut bc I mentioned I loved them. You MUST use them if you’re in Bangkok and want to do a tour.
We did the railway market, the floating market and the palace. We had two temples to go to but we had just arrived in Bangkok the night before at midnight after traveling 24 hours and ran out of steam after the palace. George and the driver couldn’t have been more understanding and concerned. The private van was also such a plus because we just lounged in the back while they drove us around. They constantly refreshed the water and gave us nice cold towels after every stop. 10/10!!!

Wonderful day exploring the Thai Countryside - Our second day with Ms. Aom started early and was jam packed! First we drove to the countryside and saw a salt farm. After that we rode the train the the Railway market and saw how the local vendors quickly close up their stalls when the train comes. It was very interesting to witness this from on the train. She even got us to the last train car for a close up view of all the tourists following and filming the train! Once off the train we explored the market and did a bit of shopping for souvenirs and also saw the many foods and produce for sale. We even saw some BBQ’d frogs. Once the next train was due Ms. Aom knew where we should sit to watch the “show”. As the train approached we watched again the market stalls quickly close. I was able to stand on the tracks for a minute to film the train as it was approaching! After the Railway market we went to the Floating market and had a canal tour with many other tourists floating along with locals on boats selling their items as well as market stalls along the side. It was a chaotic and colourful tour and very interesting. After the floating market we sampled some local foods with Ms. Aom. After this long and interesting day of Thai culture we had a long drive back to the port. Ms. Aom was very knowledgeable, professional, engaging and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed this day with her and the driver Nicki was also very good. We always had cold water and refreshing wipes as it was very hot and humid. We would highly recommend Mr. Chob Thai Tour guide! Also, we appreciated how responsive Mr. Chob was to all of our emails and questions. He also provided us with some helpful cultural tips on the language, customs and bowing behaviour.

Full day tour - Our tour guide George was amazing! He met us at our hotel, took us on all types of transportation to get around Bangkok the quickest way. He was super knowledgeable and really informative about the big things in Bangkok as well as lots of fun facts throughout the day. We really really enjoyed this tour. Highly recommend George!

Great day with Ms Aom - We did the trip guided by Ms Aom who was fantastic. Everything ran like clockwork and she added some really nice touches - building far more into the itinerary than we expected. Really worthwhile and rewarding day out.

Great tour - flexible, fun, comfortable! - We had a lovely first day in Bangkok with Ms Aom and our driver. To start, booking and communication were easy and streamlined. Ms Aom is delightful, informative, and flexible. The van picks you up and drops you off so you can enjoy all the sites with welcomed air conditioning and cold water between stops. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!
