Floating & Railway Markets (Optional Mangrove Visit) Private Tour

Great way to see life outside the City

We had a great tour with Lin. She met us at the hotel and we rode about 70 KM outside Bangkok city to see the rural life of the Thai people. Lin told us about the salt farms and we had a delicious Thai coffee. We took a train ride to the Risky Market and Lin made sure we had the best seats to view the croud as we pulled into the station. Lin also took photos and videos of us on our journey. We then went to the floating market where vendors were selling their wares from boats and piers on the canal. It was interesting to see the local residents out doing their morning chores. Lin then suggested a great place for lunch on our own. The food was delicious and the restaurant was very nice. We then had a 2 hour ride back to our hotel. Our driver was also fantastic watching out for us along the way. This tour was a great way to see the life outside the city and to experience life amongst the locals.

Totally recommend!

Our trip was well organized, we had a chance to take the train and arrive to the railway market and were very impressed how this all works! We could buy some nice fruit too. Then we visited coconut farm which was great and then we went to the floating market where we tried delicious coconut ice-cream, pad Thai and Tom yum soup! Our guide - Luck was amazing! Totally recommend taking a tour with her!

It was outstanding!

Luck, my tour guide, was excellent. Would give ten stars if I could. Timing of tour was perfect. Tour guide spent a lot of time reviewing the history.

Friendly tour guide and good transportation

We did a private tour at 9:00. Our tour guide was Luck. The company suggested we do the earlier time the day before, but we chose to stick with our time due to recently arriving in Thailand. If you chose the 9:00 tour you are unable to go to the coconut farm because it is closed by time you get there. But the rail road tour and the floating market were great!! Luck ensured we knew what was going on and translated for us when needed. She shared a lot of information about the Thai culture and answered all our questions. She was friendly and helpful. The driver was very kind, I don't think he spoke much English but was very helpful and was a safe driver.

Great day out

What a great tour this is. We had a fantastic day with NOK our guide and Mr Bot our driver. Both were a heap of fun, spoke very good English and were really knowledgeable. We learnt a lot from both of them. Would highly recommend this tour and would definitely book with these guys again!!

HIGHLY recommend!!

We had a great day experiencing the railway market and floating market by train and longboat. We also went to a salt and coconut farm. All were amazing and fascinating to learn about. We loved our tour guide Lin!! We would highly recommend this tour.

Market tour

Luke is very good at what she do! , very pleasant half day tour. The tour was very interesting to visit the floating market and the one on the rail road

ICE ICE BABY!!

We woke up bright and early to go on this tour this morning and it really did not disappoint! Our guide Ice was on time to meet us at our hotel and whisked us off in a nice clean air conditioned 4x4 with the lovely Mr Samlaan as our driver. We opted for the private tour as we wanted to be comfortable and also add/remove things we did or didn’t want to do if the need arose. We went to see a salt farm before and a coconut farm inbetween seeing the two markets. Recommend both but loved the coconut farm - the owner was so charming and there were so many products available to buy right there. For the railway market, Mr Samlaan dropped us off and you ride the train into the railway market and are able to see how close the stalls are to the railway - you can actually high five the vendors through the window! When the train leaves you get to see the vendors tidying their stalls off the railway lines in preparation - some of the tables are on wheels to make it easier. It really is a fascinating experience. The floating market is no less amazing - food, clothes, accessories - you name it! Through it all ICE was just amazing! Really responsive to what his tourists want to do, very friendly and always happy to take a picture/answer a question/hold a bag! Really can’t recommend him highly enough. He also contacted us the day before to let us have his number and check we didn’t have any questions about what was happening the next day. That brings me on to organization which was flawless for us as well. We got our tickets online and everything was paid in advance (bar any shopping and food of course!). Ice contacted us the day before and was there waiting for us when we got into the lobby. It was a brilliant day - highly recommend this tour and Ice!

Great Experience!

My partner and I had such a fun and amazing experience with Ice. We started our day at the salt farms and railway market, and then we headed over to the coconut sugar farm and floating market. Ice was very attentive. In fact, when we mentioned that we liked seafood, he even stopped at a popular seafood restaurant to introduce us to some new foods from the area. We felt like we were taken care of every step of the way. Ice took photos of us and shared unique tips and information about traveling in Thailand. I highly recommend this tour!

Special 50th birthday

Thankyou Lin was absolutely amazing tour guide - it was my wife’s 50 birthday and she made it very special sat on our boat ride throughout the market and explained the village culture etc. even helped us barter the lower price . She is very special and extremely knowledgeable with outstanding service. Big thanks 🙏 xx I will recommend ❤️🙏

A “must do” in Bangkok!

We tried all the delicious coconut products while learning all about the process at the coconut farm. We explored the railway market as well as the floating market. Very unique experiences that you will definitely remember for the rest of your life! Our tour guide named Lin was friendly and informative and guided us everywhere. She made us feel safe throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend Lin as a tour guide, and this tour!

Honourary Australian Chaiya

Hey guys, my name's Wazzy. I'm with a few Sydney boys staying in Bangkok for a few days and we all really wanted to do the floating markets. We were worried about booking online but Chaiya turned out to be incredible. We've had a few bad tour guides where their English and attitude leaves a lot to be desired but Chaiya was great. He helped us buy things, made sure we didn't get ripped off, showed us all the sites, taught us about so much history and culture just off the top of his head, and above all else he had a great attitude. I should also mention he takes great photos. You can definitely tell he takes pride in it. Nailing all the angles, working our cameras without instructions, bloody hell he does it all. Happy to say that I would recommend Chaiya to anyone looking to do the floating markets or anything else he's in charge of. We'll be giving our "went above and beyond for us" tip.

Amazing trip to Markets and sugar/salt farms

We had a fantastic private trip to the markets and sugar and salt farms. Chaiya was very knowledgeable and told us much about the culture and history of Thailand. Would highly recommend!!

Best Market Tour Ever with Lin!

Our tour guide, Lin, was beyond exceptional. Prior to the tour pick up was coordinated flawlessly. After the seemless pickup, we were presented with the itinerary for the day, that included visiting the railway market, the floating market and a tour of a coconut farm. Along with the experience of visiting these 3 areas, Lin provided us with knowledge of Thai customs, the culture and history surrounding the areas we visited. Additionally, she assisted in helping us find the best places to take pictures to capture a digital memory to accompany the experiences we went through. I definitely recommend that if you're ever in Thailand, take a tour with Lin. I will be back!

Wonderful

We were picked up in an air conditioned van very early in the morning at 6am. Lin was exceptional well versed in her tour. She guided us through the train market, the floating market and made stops on the salt farm and coconut farms giving us history and explanations on how and when things developed. She kept us on schedule but also allowed for shopping and breaks in between stops. She also took many pictures for individual couples to have as keepsakes of our adventures. I definitely recommend this tour and Lin, especially for the bargain they offer.

Floating market

Lin was wonderful! Such a great experience and guide! So much packed into one day, definitely recommend! 10 outta 10!

Great enjoyable mini adventure on the outskirts of Bangkok!

The trip was enjoyable and fun-filled. I particularly enjoyed the Rail market and coconut farm visits. Coconut farm was really interesting as i got to see how the coconut is utilised to make so many different kind of products for our everyday use and consumption. As for rail market, the concept of the market is simply very unique and traditional. Great tour that Lin brought us around.

Magnificent day

Magnificent outing to visit the railway market and the floating market. Perfect organization and a very friendly and efficient guide and driver.

Das war eine Überraschung! So viele Eindrücke, Gerüche und Farben. Und zu guter letzt kam auch noch der Train

Natürlich viele Touristen, ……. aber es war wirklich ein Spektakel. Schnell schnell musste alle Ware von den Händlern beiseite geräumt werden, so das der Zug passieren kann.

Excelente

Excelente; nuestra guía y el tour fueron maravillosos. El precio es accesible y la experiencia es agradable, lo recomiendo ampliamente.
