    Wonderful and fun

    "We did do the Damnoensaduak floating market and Maeklong train market tour with our guide Nusara. Very nice experience. We did really like the conversations in the car and the explanations during the tour. And of course showing us around and be right on time on the right spot to see the train approaching and passing through the market 😃. @Nusara big thank you and hope to meet you someday in Thailand or elsewhere again. 🙏 Warm regards Sasha, Jochem & Gerard"

    Again awesome with Piya

    "This is our second trip with Piyaporn, and wouldn’t be the last. Highly recommend for her interaction with our family, but also strangers. She knows how to engage with the children, keeping them motivated and has extensive knowledge of our surroundings. Last year we did a local tour with her in Bangkok, this time around visited various markets. Would super super recommend her again. "

    Andy: thoughtful & knowledgeable

    "We had a wonderful day with Andy, touring the Floating market, Train (umbrella) market and multiple temples and historical cultural sites. He designed a value-packed day and was tireless throughout in ensuring we were having a wonderful experience. Andy has perfect english, having lived for a time in the UK and Australia. Andy had deep historical and cultural knowledge of the areas and sites we toured, and the history of Thailand holistically. I learnt a lot about the Thai people, and the development of the nation and its sub cultures. Andy has a fascinating background himself, and is such an interesting person. Ot was a privilege to enjoy his company for the day. We cannot recommend Andy highly enough."

    A great guide

    "We took two tours with Artty and recommend him whole heartedly. Artty is friendly, punctual, a fountain of knowledge he is eager to share, funny and at times theatrical. He was flexible, accommodating and generous and he made a real difference between a plain tour and a great adventure. When back in Bangkok we will book Artty again. "

    Fabulous day out with Artty!

    "Artty is a wonderful guide - informative but relaxed and fun and took great care of us, The railway market was an amazing experience - one of the highlights of our trip. The coconut farm and traditional Thai house we visited on the way to the floating market was also very interesting. We enjoyed the long tail boat ride along canals to the floating market and saw several monitor lizards. The floating market itself didn’t have as many boats selling produce as I remember from many years ago, most of the stalls were on land and selling quite touristy stuff but a fun experience nonetheless. Highly recommend Artty as a tour guide. "

    Floating market with Hnoi

    "What an amazing day with Hnoi (and our driver George). Her English is perfect and her desire to make the tour as meaningful as possible is greatly appreciated. She really thinks outside the box to provide the ultimate experience. Between the car service, various admissions and even some treats, along with a substantial time commitment, it was a great value. Highly recommend this tour with Hnoi for anyone looking to see something different, a short ways outside the city."

    Must do Tour!!! (with rungthipmeaw)

    "rungthipmeaw is a breath of fresh air and an absolute sweetheart to do the floating markets and train tour with. She not only knows back ways but knows all about the area that you are going because she grew up from that area and knows everything about it! Just note that it is a very busy tourist area and during high tourist season it will be very busy but she will get you through no matter what in a unconventional fun way so you can experience everything in a more local and uncumbersome way and timeframe. The salt fields, shrimp farms, coconut farms the train ride in. I cannot say a good enough things about rungthipmeaw and her tours to the floating markets. I hope to see her again on my next trip there!!"

    A fascinating tour with a wonderful guide

    "I had the opportunity on 1 May 26 to visit the Damnoen Saduck floating market and the Maeklong Railway market with the guide, Nok. Our journey there was lengthy, due to traffic. But it afforded Nok and I with plenty of time to get acquainted with each other, and for me to ask questions of her about what I would be seeing and experiencing. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and informative, and we had a delightful conversation. At both locations, it was clear to me that she was well versed in the settings, frequently anticipating things to point out to me along the way. This included even picking an excellent place for lunch after our journey through the floating market, which offered both excellent food and views of activity along the canals. As the afternoon heat built during our time at the railway market and on the train journey, she knew places to relax and cool off, as well as the best places to be seated on the train for breeze through the open windows and for views. She was always very responsive to questions I had about what I was seeing. And helpful to me in selecting the right vendors to make the purchases I'd told her I was interested in. I highly recommend both this particular tour, and a choice of Nok as guide!"

    Super Tour mit einem fantastischen Guide

    "Fantastische Tour mit Donald – absolut empfehlenswert! Wir waren zu fünft mit zwei Kindern (5 und 8 Jahre) mit Donald unterwegs und haben mit ihm den Maeklong Railway Market und die schwimmenden Märkte besucht. Wir hätten uns keinen besseren Reiseleiter wünschen können! 😊 Die Chemie hat von Anfang an gestimmt – auch unsere Kinder mochten Donald sofort, was bei ihnen nicht immer der Fall ist. Die Tour war perfekt organisiert, und gleichzeitig ist Donald jederzeit auf unsere individuellen Wünsche eingegangen. Besonders toll fanden wir, wie herzlich und geduldig er mit unseren Kindern war. Wir haben uns während der gesamten Tour rundum wohlgefühlt und konnten Bangkok und die Märkte ganz entspannt genießen. Donald spricht außerdem sehr gut Deutsch, was die Kommunikation besonders angenehm gemacht hat. Wir würden jederzeit wieder eine Tour mit Donald buchen und können ihn wirklich jedem empfehlen, der Bangkok besucht! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
