zeer slechte organisatie mbt de afgesproken pick-up. Aangezien wij de enige waren die opgepikt moesten worden in de buurt van Kao Sang street en de organisatie op het laatste moment besloot daar geen (Read More)zin in te hebben moesten we ons per taxi haasten naar een BTS station. Een dikke onvoldoende voor hen dus. Het is dat de reisleidster er voor ons nog een leuke dag van heeft gemaakt maar nooit meer hiermee

The van was pretty cramped. We had 9 people. The AC was not real cold and the fan was weak. The trip itself was wonderful. The guide is extremely nice.

The experience was incredible. After an hour's journey in a van to the first point (Trailway Market), we were able to walk along the train tracks, visit each of the town's endless stops and see the ic (Read More)onic train pass by at 2:30 p.m. We spent about an hour walking at our leisure, until 3 p.m. Then, a few kilometres away and a stop at a service area, we went to a Buddhist temple, where we were able to make an offering (20b). At the final point, the floating Market, was the most exciting part of the trip, arriving at an ideal point as they allowed us to look around the entire market on the foot of the Amphawa river and, finally, at dusk, take a ride on one of the boats and experience a firefly dance.

The activity was all in all worthy, the train market is very touristy but still we had much fun, the floating market was a vibe and was very calm, not packed of tourists and was better than expected.
