Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall

My tour guide Army and our driver were amazing! I had a great time and feel well taken care of. We first started out at the wonderful floating market and also got to see a behind the scenes tour of how the farmers harvest the coconut trees. The boat ride was really fun and the coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice were so good! We then went to the River Kwai bridge and war memorial cemetery where I really appreciated Army’s knowledge of the historical significance of the region’s connection to WW2. We ended the tour with the spectacular Erawan waterfalls! The water was perfect and it was breathtaking to swim and go under the waterfalls. The lunch after was really yummy! An amazing day! Thank you Army and our driver for taking care of me!

We made this trip together with our guide Patrick. He was very nice and we felt that he knows very well about the tour and the sights. You can have great conversations with him and the day is really fun with him. In my opinion one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Also to mention, our driver was equally very nice. In addition to the described title, we also visited the Kwai Bridge. Patrick got us some snacks to try at the floating market as well as afterwards. The total car journeys are about 8 hours throughout the day. The floating market absolutely worth seeing, but in the longtail boat on the wooden bench the seat meat is taken very much. The bridge over the Kwai is very interesting, but it is very hot there. Last but not least, Erawan Waterfall. A beautiful natural spectacle with the possibility to go swimming in the second stage and get a foot peeling immediately. Small fish nibble on the feet, the water was strangely pleasantly warm. After that we had some more food and then started the journey home.

Harry was a fabulous guide for us. He is so much fun! What a happy person! The floating market is a one of a kind experience and Harry was helpful in both navigating to the best shops and advising us on interacting with the merchants. It was such a great time! The Erawan falls are beautiful and relaxing. The water is very clean and refreshing, not too warm and not too cold. The little fish nibbled on our toes! We also stopped at the bridge over the river Kwai on the way back to Bangkok. All around an excellent tour and Harry made it a very special day!

Harry is a fantastic tour guide. He is comical, warm and genuine. The floating markets were fascinating and he guided us to the best vendors and artists and treated us to his favorite coconut ice cream and sticky rice. We enjoyed the beauty of the Erawan waterfalls and safely trekked to level 4. The water was crystal clear and full of resident fish. Lastly, we made time to explore the Bridge Over River Kwai to learn about Thailand’s ties to World War II. It was a spectacular day with a wonderful guide and fantastic, safe driver.

We did the Chinatown tour together with Khun Noom and all in all it was a great experience. We were picked up at the MRT station and were given a description of the tour. We couldn't do the first stop (Kao Moo Krob) as the shop was already out of food but instead we got mango with sticky rice at the end of the tour. It was nice that they organised an alternative, however, as we live in Thailand we were looking for some unique food from Chinatown (and mango with sticky rice was not one of them). Noom was really nice, his English was good and he explained a lot about Chinatown, the history, the food and the people living here. As I am Vegetarian, he really made a lot of effort to find some alternatives for me as another stop (Hoi Todd) wasn't possible as the food is cooked in pork fat and also the dim sum was not vegetarian as they put pork in every dim sum. Instead of that, he ordered a set menu for me at the Canton House. Unfortunately, it was again very traditional Thai food and no Chinese food but I really appreciated his efforts and for someone travelling to Bangkok just for a short holiday it is for sure a good alternative. Also another stop (Guay Jab) was not suitable for me as a Vegetarian, however, the rest of the group enjoyed it a lot. All in all, it was a lot of food and we were able to pack the leftovers from the Canton House and take it home with us. At the end of the tour, he organised 2 tuk-tuks for us (as our group of 4 was heading in different directions) which were also included in the price, together with all the food and drinks. He also took many pictures of our group and they were sent to us 1 day later per email. All in all, I can fully recommend the Chinatown tour and Quality Thai Guide in general and the price is fair as it is a private tour (no other group joins this tour), you get a lot of food and drinks and transportation is included as well.
