Itinerary

Spend a full day visiting popular markets and famous temples in Bangkok on a private tour, complete with private, air-conditioned car and personal guide. Start with a visit to the Maeklong railway market and explore the stalls that are actually set up on the tracks. Make a quick stop at a coconut farm to learn about the production of coconut sugar, then continue to the vibrant and colorful Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Enjoy a boat ride on a small long boat through the market as you see local vendors paddle their boats to sell things along the canals. Return to Bangkok for lunch at a local restaurant before visiting the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is home to a 46-meter-long and 15-meter-high Buddha statue and the first open university of Thailand. The final stop on the tour is Wat Arun, better known as the Temple of Dawn which had existed since the 17th century. Afterwards, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Bangkok.

We were competently accompanied by Lynn the whole tour. She speaks good English and she was responsive to our wants and needs. You can tell she has over 30 years of experience and loves her job. We we (Read More)re able to see a lot of Bangkok in the 8 hours and the transfer from place to place was very pleasant. We can recommend the tour, but it is worth doing the tour on a day when you have already gotten used to Bangkok.

We are a family from Canada (two adults + child). The tour was phenomenal! Harry was an excellent, experienced and friendly guide and anticipated our every need. We generally prefer to visit attractio (Read More)ns on our own, but made an exception for this tour because we had limited time in Bangkok and wanted to see all the highlights. We are so glad we did! The tour was a ton of fun and covered a lot, but, at the same time, was not at all overwhelming. Harry let us explore at our own pace, made sure we were where we needed to be at the time we needed to be there. He bought us snacks and treated to lunch on the river with a fantastic view of Wat Arun! The vehicle was comfortable and always there when we needed it. All around likely the best travel guide experience I've ever had in any country! My only regret was that because I was jet lagged and unfamiliar with local currency I accidentally gave Harry too small of the tip at the end of the day.

Tour was wonderful! Henry and Mr. Pete were very professional and kept up with our pace. Tours with a 17 and 19 year old boys can be challenging and Henry made sure to keep them engaged. Would 100% re (Read More)commend this tour!

This is a must do! It is incredible how close you are to the train once it arrives. Literally your nose can touch the side of the train if you lean forward. Such a picturesque site and the food from h (Read More)ere was absolutely delicious. The markets have many souvenirs at a fraction of the price from anywhere else. Gi was our tour guide and she was amazing! I highly recommend doing this tour with her!

The tour was a great experience. Pat, our guide, was wonderful. He was thorough in explaining temple history. He also made the railroad and water market a fun experience. He took time to take very bea (Read More)utiful pictures of us. Early on in the tour, Pat learned that I like mango fruit. So he treated us with mango desserts as the day went on. It was a very sweet gesture. We stopped off for lunch and had a nice conversation as we ate and relaxed for a bit. Be ready for a long and tiring day, lots of walking, but lots of fun. Great way to see a little bit of everything in one day.
