Best ever!!!!

Erica_J, Dec 2025

Everything was perfect!!!! Lin was awesome. She made sure my BFF and I were on the right sideof the train, tracks, boat, and just everywhere. She moved us thru the crowd like a pro. We bought some incredible pieces at the market. The whole day was a dream come true. If you want an amazing time book with this company!!!

Loved it. It was such an adventure. Riding the train into the market. Shopping at the market and watching them take it down to get ready for the next train to pass by. Riding on the little boat was an awesome experience. I would do this tour again for sure. Pop was a great tour guide. Explained things and took our pics.

Visual must see

Natalie_P, Dec 2022

A “must do” if you don’t do anything else in Bangkok. This is an amazing experience to view. It’s amazing how all the merchants do this process several times per day ( pick up and move their material) We traveled from San Francisco and told many of my friends and family, and now they want to experience this.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Dear Ms.Natalie. So happy to hear that you had a wonderful Floating & Railway markets trip with our Guide Aimmy. The Railway market is the only one market that has located beside the railway in Thailand. We are greatly delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience to view the local thai market nature. Thank you so much for recommending our tour and Thailand Insight Travel to your friends and family. Hope we have an opportunity to take care you with other tours that we operate. Have a good time in Thailand. Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year to you, Ms.Natalie and your family.

Única, divertida e imprescindible

VictorManuel_M, Aug 2023

Sencillamente Genial. Nos recogieron puntualmente del hotel nuestra Guía Betty y su marido Toni, puesto que Betty aún encontrándose convaleciente de una reciente operación en la pierna, no quiso dejar de estar con nosotros, y se vino su marido Toni para que no nos faltara de nada. Una pareja dulce, simpática, divertida, alegre, atenta, cariñosa, culta y todo lo que se pueda decir de unas bellísimas personas. Betty y Toni nos obsequiaron con unos dulces típicos Tailandeses que nos habían hecho ( riquísimos ), llevábamos bebidas frescas en el vehículo, nos invitaron a un café muy especial que realizan en una pequeña parada típica mientras esperábamos el tren del mercado. En el mercado flotante, nos invitaron a fruta fresca cortada que nos sentó de maravilla y nos entregaron también un poste típico Tailandés, de mango cortado con arroz y una crema de coco. Todo esto a nivel de obsequios ( esperamos no habernos dejado nada ). A nivel de las excursiones, fue un día inolvidable, con grandes e interesantes explicaciones sobre la vida y la cultura Tailandesa; nos enseñaron un templo preciosos con un Papa gigante, nos llevaron a ver unos campo de producción de sal. Toni, que es todo un genio, nos consiguió en el tren que iba hacía el mercado, unos asientos privilegiados ( y secretos ), que nos permitió disfrutar del divertido paso del tren por dentro del mercado y a la estación de destino. después, a los 15 minutos, salía de nuevo el tren, y pudimos disfrutar de esta experiencia única desde las vías del tren en el mercado. La visita al mercado flotante fue inolvidable, ver todo aquel trasiego de barcas con souvenirs, comida, turistas. Parece mentira que dando una sensación de un enorme caos, hay una total coordinación entro todo ellos. Una explosión de actividad, color y alegría. Toni nos realizó todas las fotos que quisimos. En definitiva, no se puede visitar Tailandia y no realizar esta magnífica excursión, y que sea con Betty y con Toni. Desde Barcelona, deseamos a Betty se acabe de recuperar muy pronto y agradecerles esta experiencia que ya forma parte de nuestros corazones. Hasta pronto.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Estimado Sr. Víctor Manuel Moya Gisbert, Muchas gracias por compartir su increíble experiencia con nosotros en el tour privado a los mercados flotantes y ferroviarios. Nos emociona saber que su día fue absolutamente fantástico y agradecemos sinceramente que haya dedicado tiempo para proporcionar una reseña tan detallada. Es conmovedor saber que, a pesar de la reciente operación en la pierna de Betty, tanto ella como su esposo Toni se esforzaron al máximo para asegurarse de que su tour fuera inolvidable. Su dedicación para hacer que su día fuera especial realmente brilla en sus palabras. El hecho de que le hayan obsequiado con deliciosos dulces tailandeses, bebidas refrescantes e incluso una muestra de café típico tailandés demuestra su compromiso de hacer que cada momento sea memorable. La excursión suena verdaderamente extraordinaria, con percepciones sobre la vida y la cultura tailandesa que dejaron una impresión duradera. La visita al hermoso templo con la estatua gigante de Buda, la exploración de los campos de producción de sal y el pasaje único en tren a través del mercado, todos suenan como experiencias extraordinarias. La habilidad de Toni para asegurar asientos privilegiados en el tren muestra su dedicación para ofrecerle la mejor experiencia posible. Su descripción del bullicioso mercado flotante, el caos coordinado de barcos llenos de souvenirs, comida y turistas, pinta una imagen vívida. En efecto, es un testimonio de la increíble organización que subyace en escenas tan vibrantes. Y felicitaciones a Toni por capturar esos momentos preciosos a través de las fotos. Coincidimos plenamente con su sentimiento: un viaje a Tailandia no estaría completo sin emprender este viaje extraordinario. Betty y Toni parecen guías excepcionales que van más allá para crear recuerdos entrañables. Transmitiremos sus cálidos deseos de pronta recuperación para Betty y expresaremos nuestro agradecimiento en su nombre. Una vez más, le agradecemos por elegir nuestro tour y por su elogiosa reseña. Esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente para otra experiencia inolvidable en el futuro. Cálidos saludos para ti, de parte de nuestra Guía Betty, el Sr. Toni y Thailand Insight Travel. Dear Mr. Victor Manuel Moya Gisbert, Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience with us on the private tour to the Floating & Railway markets. We are thrilled to hear that your day was nothing short of fantastic, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to provide such a detailed review. It's heartwarming to know that despite Betty's recent leg operation, both she and her husband Toni went above and beyond to ensure your tour was unforgettable. Their dedication to making your day special truly shines through in your words. The fact that they treated you to delicious Thai sweets, refreshing drinks, and even a taste of typical Thai coffee demonstrates their commitment to making every moment memorable. The excursion sounds truly remarkable, with insights into Thai life and culture that left a lasting impression. The visit to the beautiful temple with the giant Buddha statue, the exploration of the salt production fields, and the unique train passage through the market all sound like extraordinary experiences. Toni's resourcefulness in securing privileged seats on the train showcases their dedication to offering you the best possible experience. Your description of the bustling floating market, the coordinated chaos of boats filled with souvenirs, food, and tourists, paints a vivid picture. It's indeed a testament to the incredible organization that underlies such vibrant scenes. And kudos to Toni for capturing those precious moments through the photos. We wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment – a trip to Thailand would not be complete without embarking on this extraordinary journey. Betty and Toni seem like exceptional guides who go the extra mile to create cherished memories. We will pass along your warm wishes for Betty's swift recovery and express our gratitude to them on your behalf. Thank you once again for choosing our tour and for your glowing review.
