The whole trip is equivalent to about HK$400 per person, but the enjoyment is far beyond this value. We visited a total of 5 attractions, including the Traditional Tower, Dragon Tower, O2 Cafe, Memory House and Bubble in the forest. The first 2 attractions were very It’s worth going, the last 3 attractions are top notch! There were 7 people in the car to pick up and drop off the entire trip, and the tour guide was kind and helped us take photos, leaving us with many beautiful memories!

The Whole trip was enjoyable and memorable thanks to our tour guide Tom. Me and my boyfriend were the only tourist even though we choose joiners. We got lucky there hehehe. The itinerary wasnt as good since we had too much to drink but the flooting market was relaxing aswell as experiencing the temple as well. We werent too keen though on the coffee shops, I guess the hype downed on us too. Thank you again klook and ttd global for this tour, specifically Tom and Jerry.

I visited three popular Internet celebrity cafes in one day. Bubble in the river is beautiful (note that the Chinese menu is wrong, please read it in English), boating after rain is fun (there are many small mosquitoes but they won’t bite), and moo yoo meal Drinks are the best.

Maeklong Railway market and floating markets are both unique experiences. Highest stupa is a good place to visit too. Food at After the Rain tastes good, service time at Bubble in the forest is slow but view is amazing

Thank you to Sister Pai for your leadership. She is very warm and caring and takes good care of our needs. The three cafes are all unique and beautiful, and the food is delicious. It's a pity that I couldn't stay long. It would have been better if I could stay in one room for 2 hours. If you skip the market and Nakhon Pathom... you will have more time!
