We booked this itinerary through Klook and had a wonderful time visiting Buffalo Cafe, Maeklong Railway Market, and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. The tour was well organized from start to finish, and our guides, Nana and Bank, were knowledgeable, warm, and friendly throughout! As vegetarians, finding suitable food was a bit tricky, but one restaurant kindly customized a meal for us — much appreciated! The coconut ice cream is an absolute must-try, and a truly unique experience. Grateful to have included these gems in our Thailand trip!

Amazing tour with the approachable and accommodating guides

A terrible experience, extremely long trip, the guide without any enthusiasm, clearly forcing people to smile, boring invites, then listening to the other guide speaking in Mandarin for more than 20 minutes was horrible, we were served hot water and when we finally arrived at the first stop, was very full of people, could not see anything.... Absolutely awful and we left on our own.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations. We regret the inconvenience regarding the long journey, the crowded first stop, and the temperature of the water provided. We also apologize if the guide’s attitude did not make you feel welcomed or engaged. We take your comments seriously and will review these points with our team to improve the experience for our guests. We sincerely regret that you decided to leave the tour early and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
