Full description
This is a 12-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Bus/coach, Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. It is run by Bigcountry Experience Co.,Ltd., an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.
The price covers Hotel pickup, guide, Lunch, Entrance fee at the temple in Ayutthaya and Boat ride to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. It does not cover Personal expenses and Ayutthaya River Prawn Experience, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hotel pickup in Bangkok. Bigcountry Experience Co.,Ltd. confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Bigcountry Experience Co.,Ltd. before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Traveler Reviews
Everything went great! Tour started on time, we visited all the places and had a great time. Our tour guide, Jockey, was super attentive, always giving good recommendations and taking care of us. Super recommended! Only thing I would recommend is to spend a little more time at the Railway market (we were there for 30 mins only). Thanks again!
The day is packed but balanced. The stops between spots are well planned. Even though the day was hot we never spent too much time out in the sun: there was shade or umbrellas. Our tuorguide, Jokey, took extremely good care of us: he told the history of all spots; took pictures of us; recommended what to buy where and what better not to buy (e.g. coconut water is 3x cheaper in Ayuthaya than in floating market); he also gave us time to explore on our own; The food that was provided was simple, local and delicious.
I loved everything, especially the floating market and Ayutthaya, out guide Jokey was super nice and answered all my history questions with a lot of interesting information
Loved seeing the very old things in Ayutthaya and the current things in the markets. The floating market tour was a little rushed, but still very cool!
First of all our guide, Jokey , was the BEST! He was super polite and funny and very knowledgeable about the history of all that we saw. The tour was great and very interesting. The food stop was also very decent. All in all a very nice experience and well worth having while in Bkk. I do have to note, it’s quite tiring because of the many hours, but definitely worth it! Just be prepared for a loooong day, rest well the previous night.
Excellent tour. Many things were done in just 1 day.
Everything was wonderful. The trip was very well organised and very informative. Luke was an amazing tour guide and gave us plenty of information on the sights, thai culture and religion. Would recommend to everyone.
Great trip overall, our guide Jokey was a treasure :)
Mindy is the best guide ever! We spent a wonderfull day thanks to Mindy visiting different places and learning a bit more about Thai culture.
Everything was organised perfectly, starting with on time hotel pick up, to every stop on itinerary. Our guide Luke was amazing, a lot of historical and religious facts, made this trip very interesting. Would definitely recommend to do this joined tour rather than split sightings in two days.
Really must do day tour in Bangkok. No time waisted and that is very practical if you have a tight program as we have. Our guide Boy or Superboy is super, very polite and with great knowledge of Thailand's history. He made our tour a once in a lifetime experience and everything he told us was valid. Very important that each one in the group was respectful to others in term of our meeting time points. Finally, descent food in the middle of our activities! Really recommended, you will not regret it...
An excellent day of you have a full free day. Pick up is early so make sure you eat before or take some snacks with you. And you need to make your own way home from the MBK. There is no hotel return drop off. Our tour shared a bus with another tour group from Japan this was a good option as we shared a large bus, however only the Japanese tour guide spoke on the bus and perhaps she did her history time while on route this saved some time overall for them. Our guide Henry was a lovely person, he is passionate about his tour he did pass on some frustration which I think was due to some people in
