Unforgettable Experience at Maeklong Railway & Amphawa Floating Market

Our tour of the Maeklong Railway Market and Amphawa Floating Market was truly an unforgettable experience, made even more special by our fantastic guide, Khun Aey. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture and unique sights of these famous markets. Khun Aey was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and engaged. Her passion for sharing Thai culture was evident, and she made the entire trip enjoyable with her warm personality and informative storytelling. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Thailand..

A beautiful day in Thailand 🇹🇭

An amazing day exploring markets, visiting a temple, and having lunch in a local restaurant. This was a private tour and the tour guide was quite knowledgeable about Thai culture and taught us so much. Our guide explained the what’s and whys of Thailand throughout the day. She made us feel comfortable and excited for our next stop. A very enjoyable day!.

Historic and Picturesque Markets of Bangkok

As a solo female non-Thai-speaking traveler visiting Bangkok for the first time, I had some trepidation about wandering through a market alone. This tour solved all my problems - I really felt I was exploring the market with a friend. My guide negotiated with the vendors, found street-foods I had mentioned wanting to try, took photos for me, and knew exactly where to find bathrooms and fireflies ✨ This tour is a 6-hour commitment - but well worth the expense and time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
