i think this is the best klook activity i booked here so far. its very sulit. the tour guide was very good. we went to maeklong railway market, then headed to the boat market and we stopped to eat lunch at Tewari Cafe where they shoot the pee mak movie and they actually allowed us to dress thai costumes for free. the menu was sent beforehand so we didnt have to wait when we got there. then we went to wat bang kung its like another temple but u cant take photos inside.

One day before departure, we received an email notification reminding us of the departure and meeting points. The tour guide Ruth knew how to speak English and Mandarin, introduced Thai culture and the whole day's itinerary, helped with photography and gave us restaurant menus in advance, and added Line and WhatsApp to make the itinerary more convenient. It went smoothly and the time arrangement was very good. The first stop was the floating market, the second stop was Shuzhong Temple, the third stop was lunch/Thai service, and the fourth stop was the railway market.
