Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub), Si Champa Alley, Mae Klong 75000 Thailand

The Railway Market is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! You will have fun riding a local train toward the Mae Klong station. While on this train, you will see the “Unseen-Thailand” experience. When the train signal rings up, the chaos will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stall and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all shop owners will resume their stalls again. The transportation from Maeklong Railway market to Bangkok is about 1 hour 50 minutes.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Wat Bang Kung, Bang Kung, Bang Khonthi 75120 Thailand

Wat Bang Kung is one of the most iconic attractions in the Amphawa district. The temple is famous for its roots and branches of the Banyan tree that locked the ordination hall housing the “Luang Por Nin Manee”, the golden buddha image dated back to the Ayutthaya period. In the 18th century, Wat Bang Kung is the gathering place of Thai heroic warriors so it houses many statues showing Thai boxing posture. This place is therefore a great photo-taking spot for foreign travelers.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Amphawa Chai Pattananurak Project, 185 - 191, ตำบลอัมพวา อำเภออัมพวา จังหวัดสมุทรสงคราม, 75110 Tambon Amphawa, Amphoe Amphawa, Chang Wat Samut Songkhram 75110, Thailand

Duration: 20 minutes

Amphawa Floating Market is one of the traditional floating markets which is a utopia for shopping lovers. The market offers a variety of Thai seafood, snack, and a sweet treat at a very affordable price. You can buy grilled fish, squid, prawns, steamed crab, and oysters from many shops along the canal. On the other hand, if you are a big fan of fresh fruit, you can buy lychees, mangosteens, and custard apples that are freshly harvested from nearby fruit farms here.

    One of the highlights of our family trip! Our guide Ice was wonderful. He gave interesting insights about each location and answered all our questions about Thailand's history and modern life as well as provided insider tips on shopping and other destinations we should visit. He also treated us to some of the best Thai snacks, as well as recommended a really good restaurant for dinner and taught us how to eat fish the Thai way. The most magical moment was getting up close with the fireflies! We were lucky that it never rained during our trip, so they were abundant. I will say that I wish the tour has an earlier optional start time, so we could have more time in each location. Although Ice arrived perfectly on time and never made us feel rushed. Overall, I definitely recommend this tour!

    The tour company was very flexible regarding our requests. Our tour guide Pop was very knowledgeable and welcoming. She went out of her way getting us on the train ride at the railway market and finding us fireflies(we saw so many of them!). She also introduced us to a lot of delicious Thai snacks, which we couldn’t have found if by ourselves. Pop is very considerate and responsible, from reaching out a day before to say hello to dropping us off right in front of the message place we were going to next. Overall, it was an amazing tour and we had fun!

    Did a lot in one day! Of all the days in Thailand this one was definitely one of the best! Going to Erowan waterfall was the best part

    We had the tour on 01-Sep-23. Despite booking it the last minute, the confirmation was instant. We had a lovely tour guide Pop who was always happy to assist, our bubbly driver Samran, as well as boat man Wat who brought us to the perfect spot to see and interact with the fireflies! One thing to consider, Maeklong railway market is busier in the morning. Most stalls were closed by the time we got there at half past four (last train is at 5.40). If you want to see all the action, book a morning tour. Personally, a Friday night visit to the Amphawa market is perfect because there are not as many people. It’s only open Friday to Sunday. Had some delish local food there for dinner before heading back to Bangkok. We learned that the best season for fireflies are during rainy season. We were lucky as it just rained and the trees lit up like Christmas trees that night! I have never seen that many fireflies. Lots of them came to us to say hi. Such a fun experience.
