  • 5A great tour that exceeded expectations

    Both the railway and the floating markets were incredible, certainly something you would never see at home. Enjoyed the experience immensely. Aff was the perfect guide. She found us a terrific viewing position for the train, found something we had been looking for and bought for us the best chicken curry puff we have ever eaten for a snack, along with different fruits to try. I would highly recommend this tour

  • 5Great well-run half day tour featuring excellent service, comfortable private transport and memorable sites

    Our tour guide Paul was fabulous. His command of English was impeccable. His knowledge of Thai history and culture was impressive. He also had a great sense of humour! He looked after us like we were VIPs . We were picked up and driven to the destinations in a very comfortable town car by our expert driver Maneesh. As for the tour, the Damnoen Saduk floating Market was interesting as the ride in the longboat offered a glimpse of the lifestyle of the locals living on the banks of the canals. I did not find the souvenirs overpriced as some people have complained. The Mae klong rail was a lot of fun! With very limited time in Bangkok, this tour provided some varied and interesting activities

About Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand's exuberant capital, where gilded temples and royal palaces line the river amid street-food stalls, markets and skyscrapers.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home of the revered Emerald Buddha, glitter on the old royal island of Rattanakosin. Next door, Wat Pho shelters a giant reclining Buddha and a famous school of Thai massage, and across the Chao Phraya River the porcelain-studded spires of Wat Arun glow at sunset.

Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
