Full description

This is a 5-hour experience in Pattaya, built around Wat Phra Yai, Gems Gallery Pattaya and Pattaya Floating Market. It is run by XPLORE HOLIDAYS S.A, 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.

The price covers Lunch, Pickup & Drop and Guide. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off, Personal expenses and Tips, 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.

Pattaya City. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with XPLORE HOLIDAYS S.A before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The tour guide and driver were lovely, we enjoyed the day out, visiting a few places. Only downfall was they wanted us to eat where you needed to sit on the floor due to disabilities we were unable but they soon accommodated us and allowed us to eat in the Thai/Indian restaurant instead. Would recommend thank you Hugo

Les temps de visites sont un peu courts, 15 min sauf le marché flottant où on nous laisse 1h pour trafiquer mais la balade en bateau est très rapide. Le marché n’est pas un authentique marché flottant, construit à des fins touristiques seulement. L’heure du repas très tôt à 10h45. À 11:30 nous avions terminé !! Mais le guide était très sympathique et nous a appris beaucoup de choses.

Achtung Betrug!!! Wir konnten die Tour gar nicht machen, weil wir nicht abgeholt wurden. Wir wollten dann zu einem Ort mit dem Taxi fahren, dass wir auch noch zusätzlich bezahlen sollten! Der Guide hat am Telefon einfach aufgelegt. Wir haben bisher keine Rückerstattung erhalten! Bloß nicht buchen!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Pattaya City 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 lunch (if selected), hotel pickup and drop-off (depending on option selected), personal expenses and tips. 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.
