We were able to visit all the places we wanted to go efficiently. We couldn't have planned our schedule so well if we had gone by ourselves. We were also lucky to have the experience of wearing Thai costumes. The guide also gave us tips on how to take good photos.

I made a reservation in a hurry so I didn't have high expectations. However, when I actually did the tour, it was so informative, and not only the tour guide but also the restaurant staff were so kind and enthusiastic, I was so grateful. Our guide "Nong Ruth" was so cute, and she took so many pictures for us, and she even sent me a picture after the tour, which was so touching~~ If you're looking for a tour, sign up here with confidence~ It's really informative and fun for the price!!!! Highly recommended!!!!!!

Our tour guide Nong Ruth was fantastic, helpful and informative all throughout the journey and we felt really comfortable with him. We visited the floating & train markets, temples and wearing traditional Thai costumes. Our family thoroughly enjoyed sampling local delicacies, immersing ourselves in rich Thai culture and history.
Nong Ruth helped us to take some really nice photos whilst wearing traditional Thai costumes and he even showed us how to pose for those great shots and offered tips on capturing perfect moments.
We recommend the tour to anyone especially with tour guide Nong Ruth of his expertise and enthusiasm has made the experience unforgettable! Thank you Nong Ruth. From Australia.

The itinerary of the day trip will not make people feel tight, and every time is sufficient. Although it is in the suburbs of Bangkok, it arrived quickly. It is recommended to come on weekends, because many vendors are closed on weekdays. As for fireflies, the tour guide said that you will see more fireflies during the rainy season. If you come at other times, be mentally prepared to see only a small number of fireflies.

The trip can, originally we left at 8.30, due to pick up our drive broke down to change cars, an hour late to leave, I do not know if it is because we are late, is eating try on Thai clothes more rushed, finished 3 came out and sat down to eat, have not eaten After saying that we were leaving, did not have time to take pictures, I and my sister and mother 3 quickly got up to take a few pictures, fortunately a Thai boy came over to assist us to take pictures, to leave a thought , not after dressing and eating and then change your clothes, so why waste time😂
