Full description

This is a 10-hour experience from Krabi, built around Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. It is run by Apsara transportation services, 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 and drop-off, Private round-trip transportation by air-conditioned vehicle and Driver. It does not cover Travel Insurance, Lunch, Guide and Long Boat Fees, 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.

Bangkok. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Apsara transportation services before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Great day overall A bit of confusion on the pick up, we were waiting outside the lobby area for the pick up, obvious place for a pick up, our driver went to the parking lot at the back of the hotel. Apart from that all good

The vendor NEVER showed up or contacted us. I had to contact customer service who provided us a refund. I would NOT recommend this vendor for anything.

La actividad nos gustó, pero para ir al mercado flotante nos llevaron a una agencia que incluía la visita a la parte previa del mercado flotante, sin ningún interés, y nos cobraron 4.000 bht, mientras qje la visita en canoa al mercado flotante costaba 1.000 brh. El conductor estuvo atento a nuestras necesidades y bien.

The floating market was great I would really recommend it, however we thought our tickets were included in the price. So be aware this is a very expensive day out if you are on a budget. Once we arrived the cheapest ticket to the floating market was 2000baht, might be worth waiting for another couple to arrive and sharing the boat as they are quite big. The train market was also a cool experience, locals were all super nice & not pushing. I found that a lot of things were cheap compared to other markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Bangkok The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover travel insurance, lunch, guide and long boat fees. 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.
