It was a good tour. I would have preferred less time at the Palace and more time at the Floating market to have time to explore and relax and enjoy lunch (food was great but it was brought out at different times, therefore took more time than we were expecting). Overall though I would take it again!

This was an excellent informative and fun trip with a very good driver and Sam our guide. Sam is a very good singer on the side and entertained us with songs along with culture and history. He was very polite and respectful. Pace was perfect. Floating market was a unique 'experience' but nothing appealed to me for shopping . The one in bangkok is apparently better but is far out from main city in bangkok.

Guide Jenny was lovely, providing the perfect balance of enough commentary about what we were visiting & Thai language, culture & history, without it being overwhelming. The pick up point was really easy to find (we got the BTS to the station right by Robinson’s department store) & there’s a handily placed McDonald’s you can wait in if you’re early. The minibus was immaculately clean & air conditioned so it was blissful to get back in between stops. The summer palace is a beautiful mix of European & Chinese style architecture with different coloured buildings in pristine grounds. There’s plenty of topiary & and abundance of monitor lizards, snapping turtles & fish to entertain. Jenny provided bread to feed them so you can get some great photos & have a wander. Use the toilets here as they’re free & very clean. Onwards to the floating market where a short trip round the river on a long tailed boat gives you a lay of the land before you have an hour to wander round it & get some dinner. There’s plenty of places to choose from & lots of souvenirs on sale at prices similar to the weekend market in Chatuchuk. On the opposite side of the entrance road is another little market selling more food based items and where there are elephants. A short journey up the road to two ancient temples at Ayottaya gives you a glimpse of times gone by. There’s a colossal golden Buddha at the latter temple, which you can walk round. You need to have long trousers & your shoulders covered but clothes are sold at reasonable prices there. The iced coffee at the refreshments stall there was the best I’ve ever had & a welcome treat for the coach trip back to Bangkok. All in all, a really good but surprisingly tiring day out. Top tip, bring a parasol to walk round the temples as it’s hot & there’s little shade.
