I would recommend this to everyone who wants to have a relaxing tour. love all the cafes we went too. wished we din't go to the temple as most of us din't go anyways. we should have used that time to stayed more in some of the cafes to enjoy the scenery and food. we only stayed atleast 1hr each on cafes and wished we could stayed longer. none the less everything was lovely. just a quick getway away from the city. love it.

We left the meeting point a little late due to other tourist not coming on time. Due to that, we only have 1 hour for our bubble cafe tour. The only spot that is good is the bubble cafe, the other spot is a no no so I think it is better to stay longer in bubble cafe and just remove the temple tour. We are scammed in the temple tour, they required us to pay 600 bhat even if we are just in the entrance and didn’t go up the temple. For ouher tourist don’t leave the bus or else you pay 60 baht.

Crossing the floating market, Bubble in the Forest, and the train market off my Thailand bucket list was such a memorable experience! Exploring the bustling market on the water, relaxing in the unique Bubble in the Forest, and witnessing the train pass through the market were all incredible moments. Our tour guide, Marco, was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best experience possible. This tour was a fantastic way to experience the vibrant culture and hidden gems of Thailand!
