Why people love Wat Bang Kung

Really enjoyed our tour to see the Maeklong Railway and Amphawa Floating market. To be honest, I was a bit reluctant to book this one as I was expecting it would be a typical mediocre group tour experience where the tour guide is just going through the motions and is just trying to make it to the end of the day so they could go home.
But I did not feel that at all here, and this was actually quite a fun and unique tour. Yes, these places do attract a ton of foreign (and sometimes pushy) tourists, cause everyone wants to see these famous attractions, but that's true of many places in Thailand, and I didn't think it was too terrible so long as you set your expectations accordingly. I thought the tour struck a good balance and distribution of time spent in a variety of places, and overall was a great value for what you get.
I also really appreciated Jack as a guide - he was friendly, funny, guided us through some local traditions that we each got to do ourselves, gave us background information and context on the places we visited, and I felt he was good about periodically checking in on everyone in our group throughout the tour to make sure everyone was doing well. He was a very attentive guide, and I felt he significantly contributed to a wonderful experience.

A very cost-effective itinerary, the whole day was very fulfilling, and there was also a Thai server experience. It was very convenient to get off the car at the night market. Special thanks to the tour guide Nong Ruth, who also thoughtfully helped to take photos. Highly recommended.

This was a great one-day trip, from checking in in the morning to seeing the friendly and beautiful tour guide Ploi, to her lively introduction to the history of various attractions in Thailand along the way, allowing us to reach each attraction, including the floating market and the railway market. You can also learn the stories behind Thai traditional costumes and the tree house Temple Arun, which is very interesting! I would highly recommend participating in this trip. Thank you again to the tour guide Ploi for taking many beautiful photos of our family. It was a great and wonderful day.

It’s worth taking a day trip to experience the floating market, railway market, century-old temple, and beautiful cafes. Special thanks to the bank tour guide for carefully introducing Thai customs and precautions during the trip. Next time I go to Thailand, I will still choose a one-day tour organized by this tour group.

This trip includes train market, floating market, Thai clothing try-on experience and restaurant self-pay meal, and Shuzhong Temple attractions, the drive is far, and take a big tour bus, each tour fee hkd 184, I think it's low !The boarding point is right at the cafe opposite the Thai Cultural Center station where my hotel is located, 5 minutes walk to very convenient, the return trip was originally scheduled to get off at the night market opposite the boarding point, who knew the traffic jam delay ended up in phra ram 9 of the night market parking, although to pay more fare back to the hotel, but parked in phra ram 9, can also than us to see that there is a large night market and mall here, very lively.
