Traveler reviews
Good experience
The overall experience was good. Be prepared for the same trinkets at all locations though. The first trainstop had the best prices, progressively increasing as the day when on. We bought a painted half coconut at the floating market, they wanted 450 baht, it was 100 baht at the first train station. The floating market haggles, be prepared to haggle hard and maintain your stance. Also, at the floating market, the food stall across the stone bridge is recommended. The food was good and there was less traffic, both tourist and hawkers.
Floating & Railway Markets 10/10!
What a wonderful tour! We were picked up at our hotel and taking to our meeting location. We met Grace, our fabulous guide! We started with the Raillway Market! What an experience! When the train left the town, we were inches from the side of it and then as it passed, all of the vendors opened up like nothing had just happened! Next we headed to the Floating Market. We were worried the rain wasn’t going to cooperate but then the skies cleared just in time for us to see the vendors and enjoy the experience. Overall, 10/10! Highly recommend this tour!
Great experience
Very nice experience. Tour guide Rul is a gem, very attentive. Lots of value for you money
Train Market was the highlight
Hotel pick up was a nice feature. After the 100km drive the train ride and market unfolded just as you’d expect from the many photos on line. The vendors in the market were not pushy and had most prices clearly displayed. Our guide, Billie, provided excellent advice to consider purchases on this market because prices very low. The floating market was kind of meh. It was interesting to see. The vendors in this market were trying hard to garner interest in their items as each boat passed by.. No prices were visible, and we were cautioned that even if one negotiated, you’d still pay more. After the boat ride, we had lunch in a so-so restaurant. To be fair, we did one of the Michelin food tours yesterday, with 15 delicious items. Return drive to Bangkok approx 90 minutes due to traffic with single location drop off. Mini van was clean and comfortable with great AC and excellent/safe driver. Billie was courteous and made sure all guests were accommodated throughout the tour.
