Traveler Reviews
We had a great trip to the markets. Loved the train ride to the railway market, was great to experience the markets on the train and off. The floating market was also a great experience. Would recommend
Everything was good ,the visit to the Salt brine was informative .The shopping experience on Train street was very unique, the floating market is now only for the tourists, I wish I could experience an original one where Thai people go shopping for goods .My main complaint was with the guide : he was knowledgeable and trying hard but his Thai accent is so strong that most people in the whole tour (25 +) were only able to understand 30/50 % of what he was saying. I am not criticizing him personally, this is a message for management. Please hire guide that are fluent and ENUNCIATE every word. Th
départ beaucoup trop tard de Bangkok. Le train pourrait être visité après le marché flottant. lorsque nous sommes arrivées au marché flottant, les vendeurs n'étaient déjà plus là pour la plupart.
I enjoyed the tour. I did not really see them pack up and pack out the market tables at the train market as advertised. Overall interesting. The tour was too long with too many unnecessary stops that take too long. Also it would have been better if the guide could speak better English.
Bella l’ escursione in sé, l’unica cosa discutibile è che al mercato galleggiante ci hanno fatto pagare in più il giro in barca (se si voleva) dicendo che non era compreso nel prezzo ma nel pacchetto comprato era previsto invece un altro giro diverso da quello principale. In realtà poi il giro che c’hanno fatto fare loro era praticamente uguale solo che nei punti con meno “bancarelle”
ホテルまでの送迎付きは嬉しい！ 英語もタイ語も分からなかったから私の携帯の翻訳アプリを使ってコミュニケーションをとってくれました！ 楽しかったです！
It’s was okay but the tour guide didn’t speak English properly
Great day, good value, shame they dropped us off in the wrong place
Fin tur, antagligen var vi de enda som valde den kortare resan men fick hänga på den längre 7 timmar kunde blivit 11 timmar Vi bad om att få åka hem då vi hade andra aktiviteter den dagen - vi blev körda med taxi hem, snyggt arrangerat! Tusen tack! Guiden pratade dålig engelska så det var svårt att förstå vad han sa (därav minus på guiden) I övrigt en riktigt fin dag och riktigt spännande (vi valde att köpa till att få åka med de mindre båtarna bland stånden, lite för mycket turistigt) hade vi fått välja om så hade vi valt att hänga med originalturen
Great trip, friendly guides. The places were exotic, colourful and friendly.
Hat alles gut geklappt. Guide und Fahrer sehr nett. Gut organisiert. Super 😃
Der Zugmarkt war wirklich spektakulär und echt klasse. Der Floating Market war nicht gut, reiner Touri-Nepp. Wir wurden vollgepustet von den Dieselmotoren, echt unangenehm. Viel zu langer Aufenthalt beim Floating Market, wahrscheinlich damit man viel kauft von dem Kitsch. In der Hitze war das sehr erschöpfend.
