It’s super fun. Although the road is far away and there’s traffic jam all the way, the Thai dress-up experience is pretty good. Friends who like to take beautiful photos will love it! push push

We had a great time. We visited two markets, one with boat, the floating market and the other one is the railway market. We went to one of the oldest temple and a lovely café afterwards. Our bus was comfortable and our tour guide was gentle and soft spoken. He guided us well. Both driver and tour guide were efficient when the bus had trouble. They deal the situation smoothly, calmly and effectively. They made sure that we were okay.

The Chinese tour guide Bank is humorous and interesting, and his Chinese is very good. The itinerary is well arranged and no time is wasted. The Maeklong Railway Market is such an interesting experience, although it only lasts a few minutes.
