I booked this private tour to see the railway and railway markets at the last minute. Our guide, Adam, was terrific. He thoroughly, yet efficiently, guided us to see salt fields. From there, we hopped on a train to the railway market. Then, Adam took us to a place where palm sugar is made and, afterwards, to the floating markets and then lunch. Thank you, Adam and Thailand Insight Travel!
