“The tour was fun, but as we were there during the busy season, the train was very crowded.

Review of Bangkok’s Maeklong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak boat ride, and Wat Sam Phran Dragon Temple for $16.
“A nice and enjoyable excursion. The activities are very good, but there were a lot of people, both at the railway market and the floating market. We had limited time at each stop due to a fixed schedule. The Dragon Temple is more impressive in photos than in real life, but it is still worth seeing. The excursion was well organized. Our guide, Oil, was absolutely lovely — very caring, kind, and attentive. She even took photos of us at every stop and sent them to us afterward, which was a very thoughtful touch. Highly recommended!”
