Entertaining and Stimulating
Kris was an awesome tour guide, kind and thoughtful. He and the driver took care of us throughout the entire experience. The Railway Market and The Floating Market are both extremely crowded tourist experiences. Vendors selling Thai souvenirs and seafood line either side of the railway, with people walking literally on the tracks because there’s no room otherwise. Vendors quickly pull in their wares as the train slowly rolls through the market mere cms away from your face! The floating market was an assault to the senses, as the canals are super crowded with boats filled with tourists, stopping at various stalls along the canal selling more Thai souvenirs. Fair warning: the air is quite polluted with the smell of exhaust, as most of the canal boats are gas-powered. All in all, a very unique and recommended experience, especially if you’re with an excellent guide like Kris!

Wonderful trip out of Bangkok
Kim gave us an excellent half day experience at the train and floating markets. She was able to answer all of our questions and provided an interesting history to the area and it's people. She also helped us to try out some of the amazing food we weren't sure about during our trip so far. Highly recommend!
