It was an experience especially the railway market. Just a little bit disappointment at the amphawa floating market as there was no boat vendors at all. The tour itself was good. Our tour guide Cherry was very helpful and looked after us, she’s very funny😁

Full description

Discover a side of Thailand that few travelers experience with this captivating adventure, packed with vibrant markets, stunning temples, and tranquil riverside moments.

**Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub):** Step off the beaten path at this 100-year-old market, famous for its fresh produce, souvenirs, and trinkets. The highlight? Watching a train thunder through the heart of the market, causing vendors to swiftly pack up and reset.

**Wat Bang Kung:** Discover a hidden gem—a temple enveloped by the roots of an ancient Banyan tree. Inside, you’ll find a shrine and statues honoring soldiers who defended Thailand in the 1800s, evoking a sense of history and adventure.

**Amphawa Floating Market:** Explore the lively Amphawa Floating Market along the canal. Sample delicious street food, browse local goods, and soak in the vibrant riverside atmosphere as boats float by with vendors selling everything from sweets to seafood.

**Firefly Boat Tour:** End the day with a magical boat tour at dusk. As you drift along the Maeklong river, get a change to watch the twinkling fireflies—a perfect, serene conclusion to your adventure.
