Amphawa is one of the most popular floating market near Bangkok, with visitors almost exclusively Thai. Located 50 km from Bangkok this once small village was apparently already present in the mid-Seventeenth Century. It has become such a magnet for Thai weekenders that food stalls have grown from the riverbanks and stretched far into the surrounding streets.
• Visit Thailand's floating markets on an immersive half day trip from Bangkok
• Shop by boat along a riverbank in a longtail boat at a floating market
• Buy plenty of unique and inexpensive traditional Thai snacks - the perfect souveniers from your trip!
• Watch a train pass through the middle of a bustling market at Maeklong Railway Market

I was very satisfied with the tour, Cindy was my guide, with a private car. The english describe of the tour, and the additional informaions were so good. I recommend her andthistour to everyone. It takes about 6 hours from Bangkok centre.

Guide and driver were brilliant. Lots to see and do, so different to the UK. Finished with a super boat trip to see fireflies.

highly recommended , this is a must tour while visiting bangkok , the whole experience of the maeklong railway track market and the train passing through it is simply amazing , however i would like to mention that a more appropriate place must be identified for viewing the passing of the train , the tour guide must be more aware of this and the tour company should look into this specifically ... we couldn't get a good spot but still worth the experience. The amphawa floating market experience was also amazing ,, the river side boats with restaurants on it and seating for food .. the boat ride itself around the island .. worth the money and time ...

The tour isn’t really a tour. Basically a minimally speaking English person picks you up, then just drops you off at the locations and let you know when the pick ups are. You’re better off taxi-ing there yourself and just skip the Maeklong Railway Market — it’s pretty authentic... and disgusting. Flies on everything, uneven pavement with black gross water whenever you slip. The Amphawa Floating Market is worth a visit because it’s unique and the stalls are more interesting.
Just to tell you how bad our tour guide was, I asked him where I could use the restroom (this was 4 hrs into the trip so far) and he led me to a place where I paid 5 baht to use the toilet (ok fine). But that’s not the worst part. The toilet itself was completely slopping wet with god knows what, disgusting, no toilet paper and there was literally RAT FECES all over the top of the toilet’s tank. I’ve been to some terrible bathrooms in my time but first time I’ve ever been so traumatized, I straight up walked out and told the tour guide never to recommend anyone go in there. At least know where to tell people as a guide a decent restroom is for god’s sake.
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AND DO NOT USE THIS TOUR SERVICE.

This was a great tour, it was not a huge bus with 40 people so we got personal attention. The tour guide was great and it was amazing to see these local markets bring life to how people live daily here. I think it is something my daughters will never forget.
