The tour guide No.two was very friendly. He treated us to seasonal fruits and reminded us where to buy souvenirs and where food was cheaper. Lunch costs more than 200 yuan, but it includes the Thai clothing experience, which is quite worth it.

The tour guide was a hard-working and thoughtful Chinese-Thai elder who took us to experience interesting little activities. There were no bad habits or sales pitches, so we were able to experience the itinerary at ease. We could see the sparkling fireflies at night in Amphawa, which made us feel so happy. The driver was also very polite.

Since other Taiwanese tourists could not make it to the departure time, we were lucky enough to be able to join a group tour. Our tour guide Miss Wan enthusiastically took us to visit Bangkok’s famous floating market and train market. It left us with very happy memories.

Because I wanted to see the famous railway market and floating market, and didn't want to do too much research on transportation, I chose this one-day tour to simplify transportation. This itinerary has several good points and points that can be better: 1. This group happened to have a tour guide who could speak both Chinese and English. He spoke Chinese without any accent, so it was ok for communication and asking questions. The driver drove very steadily. 2. This group takes the train to the train market, which is different from other groups who watch the train entering the station from the ground. However, there are also a lot of people on the train and there is no place to sit, so you can think about whether you want to experience this feeling or greet the train entering the station on the ground. 3. The stay at the floating market is three hours, which I originally thought was too long, but with a slow stroll and dinner, it's actually ok. Disadvantages: 1. The shuttle bus is a modified van, and the seats don't have seat belts. People who have concerns about safety should evaluate it. In addition, because it is a modified car, the air-conditioning doesn't feel very cold. 2. The time spent at the railway market is less than an hour (including the time for dinner), which I think is very short and I can't have a good stroll. 3. There is an activity of taking a boat to watch fireflies in the evening, which is quite special, but I took a half-hour boat ride to see the fireflies, and then rushed back by boat after not seeing them for 1 minute. This is... It is also worth mentioning that there will be traffic jams on the way back to Bangkok city, so please don't arrange other trips, because we arrived in Bangkok city an hour later than scheduled.
