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.
