Full description

This is a 8-hour experience in Bangkok. It is run by SST Global Tour, 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.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Insurance, Tolls, Parking fees, Firefly Night Cruise fee and Fuel costs. It does not cover Meal costs, Tips and Personal expenses, 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.

SST Global Tour sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with SST Global Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Piboon was a great driver/guide. He took lots of pictures of us and he was always there for us. The cruise was fantastic, lots of fireflies und Piboon reserved the best seats for us in front of the boat. Train market was great, we saw the train two times and had a lot of time for shopping. Amphara had many food stalls and we ate way too much fantastc food. Thanks for a wonderful day! Piboon is the best!

Warin was a fantastic tour guide. we had some extra time as it ended up being just myself and my Mum, so he took us to the nearby hidden temple and was able to give us a wonderful tour and provided lots of fascinating information. He was also wonderful at the markets helping us try to secure a boat booking. He took many wonderful photos and sent them to us straight away which we will keep as a wonderful memory of the day. the Train market was amazing to see close up and there were many wonderful stalls there. We also loved spotting the fires flies and it was the perfect way to end the trip. Th

our driver, Somsat, gave us à really great expérience (exclusive to us 2 only on trip ! )He was more à GUIDE than à driver and did everthing he could to help us at every step. The possible language difficulties did not exist because we always communicated well. All the stops were great, and Somsat guided us clearly and in perfect timing throughout the day. For the excursions, we felt that they gave us à good feeling of "true" thailand. this was our 3rd GYG expérience, and definitely the best.

It was a very well organized trip. Pick was on time, better our driver/ guide was min 20 min to early. We was surprised that we was only our small group, no outsiders did join. That was very positive, because we was not in a hurry any time. Our guide did show us good places to take pictures, he did pictures from us too and shared it later with us. We didn’t has to ask for that service & he did not ask for any additional charges. Overall we was very pleased with the service .

Die Tour war sich war ok. Ich hatte erwartet - dass wir mit den Boot einen schwimmenden Markt besuchen. Stattdessen waren zwei Boote mit Essen auf dem Wasser und wir hatten dort zwei Stunden zum bummeln. Auch sind wir zu spät gekommen um den Zug zu sagen wie er in den Markt rein fährt. und dort angekommen warenn wir wieder 1,5 unterwegs um uns den Markt anzuschauen. Die-Tour mit dem Boot um die Glühwürmchen zu sehen war echt cool.

l'excursion est trop longue pour faire ces 2 activités. Le temps d'attente entre le rail train market et la sortie en bateau est beaucoup trop longue.

Things were okay until we did the firefly boat ride which was not floating and peaceful and not private. In fact it was on a crowded noisy boat with people who kept looking at phones very lit up in the darkness when we were trying to view to fireflies and let their children squeak toys literally the entire time non stop. Exactly the opposite of private and peaceful floating. Unfortunately. Guide was kind but the car ride was unexpectedly very long.

Frequently Asked Questions

SST Global Tour sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover meal costs, tips and personal expenses. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Because the floating market is a morning market: the boats are busiest from 7:00 and thinning out by 11:00, and the road from Bangkok takes 90 minutes. Tours that leave at 7:00 see the market working; tours that leave at 9:00 see the souvenir stalls. Maeklong's train times are fixed and the itinerary is built around them.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
