Kitty was so great I understood her clearly it’s very nice to have a guide that can speak English and that can also understand you . I am a solo traveller and she made me feel so safe and helped me with pictures. Her advice about the market was great . I will definitely use your services for other trips . The driver was on time they are both so punctual .

We had a fabulous day with Surin. We went to the King’s temple and Grand Palace first. Surin took time to explain what we were looking at, the history and how it links to life today. He was very friendly and gave us free time to explore. The floating market was something we’d never done before, nor had we done a train track market. The markets are an hour and a half’s drive from Bangkok in a comfy air conditioned mini bus. We actually enjoyed the journey as we could see the surrounding landscape and also rest after the heat of the temple and palace. Each market was unique and fascinating! A bi

We got picked up at 730am at our hotel by Tukky to start our day at a Grand Palace tour. She was on time, energetic and gave us a history lesson in the van on the way to the Grand Palace. We were lucky that nobody else booked the tour so we had a “private tour”. The Grand Palace and the history of the different building, temples was very inspiring and emotional. To experience the Grand Palace without Tukky would have been a waste of time. We then went to the floating market and had some free time. Then we went to the market along the train tracks, although it was busy Tukky kept a positive att

We had an amazing tour in Thailand with our guide Tukky. She was super nice and very friendly, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The Grand Palace, the Floating Market, and the Train Market were all absolutely amazing. Everything was well organized and the places were incredible. I highly recommend this tour with Tukky!

This was the best tour we've ever had, our guide was excellent, funny and very knowledgeable. We loved learning about the history of Thailand. Our favourite moment was the floating market, it was such an amazing romantic experience together we will forever remember it. Time is always a factor with these tours and we wish we could have had at least another 30mins at the market after the boat ride and eating, but the food was also delicious and very fast. The train market was also amazing, we loved the whole experience and if you come to Thailand you must take this tour! We will definitely visit

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Krabi. OTO TRIP SERVICE CO., LTD confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. 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 meals and other drinks, personal expenses and tips (optional). 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.
