Duration: 8 hours
Cancellation: 1 day learn more
Highlights
  • Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub) - Check out the Mae Khlong Railway Market, it’s located right on top of a railway line, and trains run right through the market a few times per day. Suddenly a train approaches as the market literally folds away and lets the train pass through. Then, in a matter of seconds, it unfolds back into a busy market.

The duration of attraction included traveling time from Bangkok to Maeklong.

  • Wat Bang Kung - Visit Wat Bang Kung, one of the most iconic. Having been engulfed by the roots and branches of large banyan trees over the course of several centuries the temple provides a seamless combination of natural beauty and serene spiritualism.
  • Amphawa Floating Market - Explore the Amphawa floating market, see an authentic view of the Thai lifestyle. The canals here are very lively; boats zip around offering all sorts of goods, local foods, seafood, or local Thai desserts.

We’ll finish the day with Firefly boat tour. Board a riverboat in the evening, until the the sun sets, you’ll start to spot shimmering fireflies hovering above the water. How amazing ?

The duration of attraction included travelling time from Amphawa back to Bangkok.

Great Experience - The tour was very nice! We had enough time everywhere. We were lucky enough to have a private tour and everything was explained to us well by our guide. We liked the floating market best, we were able to walk around for 2-3 hours, eat, do some shopping etc. The food was great! When it got dark we went on a boat tour where we saw a lot of fireflies. We would definitely recommend the tour, especially for people who like to have it a bit planned out and don't want to worry about anything.

Best tour, best guide, and driver! - Siri and Mr. Noi were the best guides we had in Bangkok! Siri was informative and entertaining and Mr. Noi was a smooth driver and waiting for us immediately at all our pickup spots, keeping the van cool several spots along the way. This tour, the guide & driver were a highlight of our trip!

Fireflies!!! - We had an amazing time with Siri, a very funny, friendly and informative tour guide! Would definitely have her again (she’s also a great photographer!) It was good being driven around in a bus with AC. We had lots of fun on the tour. The highlight for me was seeing all the little fireflies! Many thanks to Siri for showing us around and sharing about Thai culture and Buddhism
