Uncover the best of Amphawa Floating Market the local Way

"This was a really great experience, especially since my 4 teenagers can sometimes lose interest fast. Not this time! The day had just enough enough switching of activities to keep everyone happy as we didn't stay in any one place (or boat) too long. The van they picked us up in couldn't have been nicer - I mean it was first class! At the floating market, the canal boat ride we took before we switched to a paddle boat for the floating market was really nice - we enjoyed seeing the different 'neighborhoods' and we saw several huge monitor lizards. I do feel like going with With Locals made the experience better than most of those I have done with Get Your Guide or Viator. It was the little things like Piyaporn taking the initiative to grab things for us at the floating market (that she paid for) like bananas fried in coconut milk, coconut ice cream, mango sticky rice, etc. She would just grab something and say "Try this!". Or the cold wet towels when we got back in the van at the end of the day to head home. And the super nice driver we had. And I'm not sure if it happens on every booking, but we also got to make a quick stop (on the canal tour) at a property with some amazing old Chinese boats and some of the most beautiful large Thai carvings I have seen since arriving. I wasn't sure if driving an hour and half from Bangkok would be worth it but it totally was. I've never seen anything like the floating market and when you couple that with canal tour, the railway market and coconut farm - it was a total yes for us. And I would absolutely book with With Locals again. "

"We had a realy fantastic day out toghether with Piyaporn. She was a very nice person and know the area and the people. We are glad we choose to get a personal guide that only have focus to teach us about what we experience. We have a big comfortable van with a good driver for us self. Well worth the money. "

"Everything was well planned and easy. From the pick up (at the hotel, on time, clean, spacious air con van with just the 4 of us, great driver, no speeding or reckleness) to the tour itself (at a good pace, flexible to add-ons, well explained and felt authentic) - a great experience that matched all expectations. Would recommend and book again if I'm ever in Thailand."

"What a fantastic day with Piyaporn and our driver Noi. We were picked up in an air conditioned van, with a cooler full of water and very comfortable seats for our drive outside the city. Our visit to the Maeklong Rail Market was fun, with front row spots to watch the train come through. Then Piyaporn walked us from this touristy spot to the true local market nearby, where we got to try some fun local foods. All the while, Piyaporn is explaining the history of the area, and why the vendors wound up on the train tracks! The two floating markets were amazing, and the boat rides we had were a wonderful way to see the Thai countryside and life along the rivers. The foods we tried were all wonderful - that amazing combination of sweet, spice, and acid that Thailand does so well. Piyaporn did a great job of navigating a dietary restriction we had, too. We would recommend this tour to anyone that. "

"We had a truly wonderful experience with Piyaporn. She was informative, kind, fun to be with, and really went out of her way to show us the area, the foods in the market and to ensure that we had an incredible tour. I would highly recommend her and this tour to anyone. I appreciated that it included the motorized boat tour at the end when we went through the neighborhood on the water by the temple. That was interesting to see and not something other tours offered. "

"We had such a wonderful day with Piyaporn. She is gracious and so knowledgeable and was happy to modify the tour to meet our needs. Would highly recommend this tour with her! "

"Piyaporn was an awesome guide. She pays attention to your likes and dislikes and caters the experience accordingly. I understand it is difficult to find food without sea food in Thailand especially if you are not in the city. But Piyaporn took us to a local restaurant and I had the best fried rice made to order with simple and fresh ingredients. My husband and I enjoyed every detail of the trip. I would highly recommend Piyaporn if you are looking for understanding the local culture and history."

"Cannot recommend Miss Tai strongly enough, she was an excellent guide for the day. We wanted to see the floating markets and the famous train market and experiece some authentic culture and they didn't disappoint!. Miss Tai was knowledgeable about the places to buy things from, took us on a private paddle boat tour. Lunch at the local canteen wad great. Overall a brilliant day THANK YOU!"

"Hello, We had a great tour leaded by Piyaporn. She has a broad knowledge of Bangkok, speaks very well English and is a nice person. We strongly recommend Piyaporn when someone needs a tourguide in Bangkok. Regards, Anton Klerkx."

"We were guided by Meow, one of the guides with the 'Chef Jekky' group of guides. Very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. "
