We had an excellent tour to the Maeklong Railway Market & Floating Market Boat Tour! Our guide ‘A’ was super passionate and informative, he brought Thai history to life with engaging stories and clear explanations. He was happy to answer all our questions and took lots of photos for us. He also gave recommendations of local Thai dishes to try and even did a quiz/ giveaway at the end of the tour. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok! Khop khun kha!

Jenny was a great guide, very friendly, caring and considerate. It was a nice tour and relaxing, nothing over the top. I only wish the boat ride was a return ride because when you pass the market once, you will not have another chance after leaving the boat. otherwise, a great tour and would recommend!

Sam was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! He was very personable with each and every one of us and the tour ended up feeling like a family trip not an excursion! Sam’s sense of humor also made this tour so much fun! I’d recommend Sam and his company to everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Krabi. MONKEY TRAVEL ASIA by Ask Discovery 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 earphones, food and beverages 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.
