Floating market, train market, what a great day. Wonderful experience.

Watchira Tapaoloy our guide, was very good, helpful, took some pictures of us both, even took us to see the train market, although we did not wait for the train to arrive. Also added bonus of an elephant ride. The whole experience and the floating market was fantastic. Ten out of ten for Watchira. Thank you for such a lovely day and some experiences we will never forget..

What an amazing experience!

What an experience. We loved the floating market and the experience of the train coming through the railway market. So many shops to see and nice to support local people. Supatsara was an excellent guide and looked after us so well. She timed it to perfection so that we saw the train at the station and then travelling through the market. She got us to try some amazing foods at the floating market too. We would definitely recommend this trip! Great memories!.
