Itinerary
Begin your day at one of the most famous markets in the world. Walk through narrow stalls set directly on active railway tracks and witness the incredible moment when vendors quickly retract their goods as a train passes through the market itself.
Continue to Thailand’s most iconic floating market. Board a traditional longtail boat and cruise through the canals, passing wooden houses and floating vendors selling fresh fruit, local food, and handmade goods. This is one of the most photogenic cultural experiences near Bangkok.
End your journey at the hidden Dragon Temple, a striking 17-storey pink tower wrapped by a giant dragon sculpture. Less known than Bangkok’s main temples, this surreal structure offers a unique and peaceful exploration away from the crowds.

Best part of our trip so far! The guide was delightful! And the floating markets were so fun. The Temple was also interesting.
Great the host was very knowledgeable and friendly. Hope to get her again. Had epic fun Thank you so much
Stops at each site a taste of different parts of outer Bangkok. Touristy yes, but we had a good time. Would have loved a bit longer time at each stop but it didn’t detract from the day.
Great day out. Early start, but also back in city around 2:30pm. Quite a bit of time travelling around in between each stop, but much easier than self travel between. Host, Nice was great.
I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews for this tour. It was great and you can’t beat the price, especially for the transport to these attractions outside the city. Yes, these markets are tourist spots so they’re very congested but we knew that going in. It’s a lot of fun to experience these places in person. I really loved the Dragon Temple, it’s not on many tours and it’s really chill and beautiful. If you like the really imaginative temples, I recommend it. Pick up was right on time at the pickup spot. Starts early and gets you back to the city by 2:30. Our guide was very nice.
The tour was fun and Bonnie the tour guide is excellent. She shared interesting facts and kept the tour on schedule. The railway and floating market were my bucket list items.
Good tour, I wish the tour guide can explain more about the places. The places were great to visit. The people were great
This was really a great experience. The organizer communicated with us constantly. Everything happened on time. The three program elements were great and it was good to look around outside of Bangkok. I have left my glasses case in the car and they got it back to me immediately.
Our tour guide just never showed up to pick us up. We woke up early, rushed breakfast and waited for 45 minutes in our hotel lobby. The tour guide never showed up. When a bellman called the company, they told me to hold on and hung up on me. Terrible experience!!!
I really enjoyed this tour. Sue was an awesome tour guide. My favorite part is the dragon temple. We were able to see the train come and go at the railway market.
