A really interesting day, well paced, and perfect for the iconic railway/train/market experience . A really great place for dinner at the end. Highly recommend.
I was excited about this, but I found it to be underwhelming. The market is not “floating”. It is like a regular food market you can find many places in Bangkok. The tour of the canal I guess is what makes it “floating”. There were maybe 5 vendors on boats, tops. The canal is not particularly interesting either, the area is somewhat residential, somewhat industrial, and some places show abandoned (or in grave decay) structures or construction sites. The tour guide spoke perfect English, but had little to say about what we were seeing. She illustrated some of the street food and told us about some historic bridges/parks on the way to the market. In all, she was a great accompaniment - since there was not much to say as a tour guide. The other floating market is for sure more touristic, but also more interesting. Nonetheless, I don’t regret it, I just wouldn’t do it again and if asked advice I would divert to the other floating market.
The trip was really top with railway market and boat market. Thanks to Mr. A and Mr. B. Fully well done. Was beautiful and recommended to everyone
Nice trip, but overpriced. This could be done on your own for a fraction of the price. 2 hours by car each way from Hua Hin where there is little to see along the road.
Hello, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear that you found the tour overpriced. Private tours are generally more expensive because they include a private car, a Tour guide, all entrance fees, and dinner. We also offer this trip as a small group tour with a maximum of 9 people at a much lower price, which was also available for you to book. For our trips, we must comply with Thai law, which includes paying minimum wages for drivers and tour guides, providing insurance for everyone on the trip, and paying government taxes. These requirements are regularly checked by the Tourist Police. Additionally, fuel prices in Thailand have nearly doubled in the last four years. When we pay the minimum salary to our tour guides, they receive about 25 euros for a 7-8 hour working day. Thank you again for booking with us.
It was a great afternoon. Our guide was very friendly, spoke excellent German and explained everything to us very well. We also learned a lot about Thai cuisine and traditions. We can only recommend the trip.

Thank you very much for the great experience. Unfortunately, it has been a month since the tour, but we have it in our best memory and can only recommend it to you. Very nice guide who spoke exceptionally good German. He explained and showed us a lot, but also left time for us...really well organized!
Thank you for the great review of our Private Tour to Maeklong Train Market and visiting Amphawa Floating Market. I am also glad that you liked the german speaking tour guide and that he gave you a lot of information. Thanks again for booking this tour with us
The Maeklong train tour waf worth seeing. Also the teak temple, the lost temple overgrown by trees and finally the boat tour in Amphawa. All to the satisfaction
