Maeklong Railway Market And Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Below expectation tour.

Interesting day yesterday. This tour has a lot if driving. Our van was not the most comfortable (older van model). Most if us had stiff muscles by the end of the day. The boat ride was also shorter (about 10 minutes) than what we were told (20-25 minutes). It took about 3h30 to get back to our hotel.

Travel Buddies-Atlanta in Thailand

This tour is one that you have to experience. Our group of 15 boarded the train with the tour guide, not knowing exactly what to expect when the train pulled into the market. We were so close to the vendors and people. Then we got off the train and experienced being in the crowd when the train came thru. WOW! It was fun.

Terrible customer experience

Terrible tour operator. Viator confirmation said 9 am yet tour guide expected us to be ready to leave prior to 8. We were a group of 9, including 3 kids, and the operator refused to wait. We requested them to wait so we can feed the kids breakfast and get them ready and they refused. Furthermore, they declined a request for a refund despite no tour ever occurring

Unforgettable experience.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave very good tips for tourists. Very friendly and punctual guide. Overall was an enjoyable experience.

Alex is the best guide - would 100% recommend

Amazing trip with Alex. He really did make the trip and made sure everyone knew where they were going at all times :) would recommend

It was awesome! The tour itself, the tour guide and the day!

The overall tour was nice and interesting. We were able to buy plenty of things in the Maeklong Train Market and eat lots of seafood in the Amphwa Floating Market, but sadly we were not able to see much of the fireflies because it was not in season when we visited (October is the season for fireflies, we went during February)

Only if you need transportation

If you need just transportation to the markets; this is it! And that is exactly what you'll get. Our "tour guide" was Elf. I have no idea when the markets started, why or any other details. The almost two hour ride there and back was spent in near silence. No explanation of what we were seeing such as the salt fields or life in general. Nothing about the markets. Elf spent his time on two cell phones; one for watching YouTube and the other for playing games. And that's the best part of the trip. The ride was in the most uncomfortable van ever; without shocks. Airline economy seats are better! We were the last to get picked up, so naturally we got the back seat. First, the windows in the van are low and tiny. Good luck seeing anything out of them and impossible in the back seat. And then the shocks, or lack thereof. Every bump in the road made your head hit the ceiling. And oh, no leg room. NONE. And it was hot. I was going to get car sick; so I squeezed on the top of everyone to get to the front and squatted where there wasn't a seat. We asked Elf to ask everyone if we could rotate seats. He said he would try which meant, heck NO! At the two stops, we told us where and when our meeting point was and left. When he did speak, he spoke softly and was hard to hear. The markets in itself was fun. I am pleased we went. However, that van ride as the ride from hell.

Es lohnt sich diese beiden Märkte zu besuchen

Es sind beide Märkte absolut empfehlenswert. Es reicht beim schwimmenden Markt eine Stunde mit dem Boot zu fahren. Es gibt genügend Anbieter. Es lohnt sich ein Preisvergleich. Beim Eisenbahn Markt sollte man unbedingt warten bis ein Zug einfährt . Dies ist ein Erlebnis. Beide Märkte können wir empfehlen.
