What could have been a memorable day was completely ruined by the attitude of our tour guide Mr Harry, who had been nice and attentive during most of the day until a very unpleasant and unfortunate mi (Read More)sunderstanding happened on our way back to the hotel, when the guide, taking advantage of the fact that my partner had stepped out the car to go to the restroom and I was alone inside the vehicle, started shouting at me and insulting me totally out of control as if he had suddenly gone mad. I even came to think he would hit me! Luckily my partner came back before things would become worse and we could finally reach our hotel safe with the driver, leaving the guide alone at the petrol station. The 2 stars are because of the support of the company manager as we called him right after the incident happened to report this awful situation and he sent his apologies to us informing us that they would not use this guide again in the future, also because we really enjoyed the places we visited.

We were picked up at our hotel by our lovely guide Lek who had confirmed the pick up time the day before. We found all parts of the trip amazing. We got to ride in the engine room at the back of the t (Read More)rain to enter the market so we could see all the stall holders putting their goods back out after the train had gone through. Lek took lots of photos of us during the day. Our driver was always at the pick up points after our journeys on the trains and the floating market boats with cold water, towels and snacks. We were able to move our trip around so we could be back in Bangkok earlier than expected. It is a great day out but quite a long one.

We had a wonderful, unforgettable day. Our guide Lek took great care of us at all times. She gave us a lot of information about Thailand's history, took great photos of us at the best spots, organized (Read More) the best seats on the train and got lots of delicious little things to eat and try along the way. We can highly recommend this day trip.

We had a great trip with our guide Sunny! Train Street was so much fun, and with Sunny’s local knowledge we were able to get some great photos away from the tourist crowds! The visit to see the bridge (Read More) and ride the train on death railway was an amazing experience. As was the floating market, and trying some of the local food. Recommend this trip, very interesting and a lot of fun!
