Review of Bangkok’s Maeklong Railway and Amphawa day trip, with train market, temple, fireflies, transport, timing, value, and practical tips.

“This was a great tour. It covered a lot of interesting places such as the Railway Market which was a lot of fun, and the Floating Market where we had plenty of time to explore, shop and eat. Calling into the Hidden Temple was also interesting, and the boat tour from the Floating Market to see fireflies after dark was an adventure in itself. Our guide Oum was helpful, informative and looked after us all very well. There were only eight people on our tour, which was also very comfortable.”

“We had a very impressive tour with Knack. Knack is the best guide I have ever had. She is very attentive, polite, friendly and gives a lot of interesting information and makes the tour very individual. We also visited a coconut farm and tasted lots of traditional Thai delicacies. We were very surprised that everything was included also the food, water, snacks and entrance fees. I can only recommend anyone to book this tour with Knack.”

“Det var en okay tur, men det føltes mere som en taxaservice end en guidet tur.. Vores guide (Noi) prøvede sit bedste og var sød, men hendes engelsk evner er desværre ikke gode nok til at agere guide. Tiden ved togmarkedet er for kort, så hvis man kommer for langt ned af sporene, skal man løbe tilbage for at nå tilbage til tiden. Det flydende marked er ikke flydende, men det er du. Man sejler forbi boder og gader med mad og ting, som man så efterfølgende besøger fra land. Og sejlturen inden man når til markedet er lang. Selvom det ligger rundt om hjørnet. Man går alene rundt på…”

Lots of driving. We left at 830am and got back to the hotel at 530pm. Lok was a good tour guide and gave us a history of the activities. We were disappointed the train never came.”

“Cette ligne de chemin de fer est mythique. Ensuite le marché flottant. Le seul intérêt est le bout de rivière où il y a à manger et à boire, et où les embarcations se touchent !le reste, on est de bons touristes qu’il faut plumer… ensuite, déjeuner avec un rapport qualité prix correct. Puis les temples, à Ayutaya, avec la déception du temple principal en rénovation, et donc inaccessible. Chauffeur agréable.”
