What an unexpected surprise and how great this tour was I did not know anything about the train market so to ride the train into the market and then view the market and then watch a train leave. Incredible experience. Floating market was great taking one of the boats down the canals and purchasing items from the vendors, and then walking through the market. And then visiting temples that were unusual and memorable. This was adult mess.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that the Maeklong Railway & Floating Market Tour turned out to be such a memorable and unexpected experience for you.
Riding the train into the market, exploring the floating market by boat, shopping from the local vendors, and visiting unique temples really do make this tour special — and we’re so glad you enjoyed every part of it.
Thank you again for choosing ForeverVacation. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure soon! 😊🌴

This was a great experience. Our guide, Kitty, was so good. We got to go on the train as it entered the market (Kitty found us seats by a window) as well seeing the train from the ground later as the train left. It was very crowded but that’s all part of the experience. The boat ride at the floating market was fun, and the vendors weren’t as pushy as I expected them to be, which was refreshing. We had a lovely lunch and also got to see a temple, and an art workshop which was of particular interest to me. One of the two temples was closed so we went to a coconut plantation to see coconut sugar being made. Kitty was very flexible, knowledgable and helpful, and took loads of photos for us which we loved!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 🚆🛶
We’re delighted to hear that you had such an interesting and varied day on the Maeklong Railway & Floating Market Tour. Experiencing the train both from inside and on the ground is truly special, and we’re glad Kitty was able to secure great seats and guide you smoothly through the crowds. It’s also lovely to know you enjoyed the floating market, lunch, temple visit, art workshop, and the coconut plantation — flexibility like this really helps make the day memorable.
A big thank you for your kind words about Kitty. Her knowledge, flexibility, and care in capturing photos are qualities we truly value, and we’ll be sure to share your feedback with her.

Everything was amazing from the beginning of the day to the end. They picked us up from our hotel right on time. We had a great time all day along at the railroad market, floating market, seen different temples and all kinds of different things. It was so refreshing to get back in the van after each stop to get the cool rags and a nice cool drinks. We enjoyed getting coconut ice cream on the floating market. it was so nice of our guy to take all kinds of pictures of us so we didn’t have to take them ourselves and then he gave them us with Airdrop. We had a delicious lunch and a nice cool restaurant. It was a great tour to get out of Bangkok and have a guide lead you so you don’t have to worry about anything. Anytime we need to use the restroom we would immediately stop and find one which was awesome for me! I highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.

Kitty and our driver were wonderful. We had three kiddos with us and they enjoyed every bit of the tour. Kitty provided knowledge and helped us navigate the markets. She was wonderful with our kids. The van was extremely comfortable, cool, and the driver provided a cooler of waters.

A full day with a train ride to the Maeklong Market to watch activity on train street through the markets. Then a long tail boat ride through the canals and Floating Market, which was our favourite activities. A couple of unique temples thrown in, and some delicious food (bring on Mango Sticky Rice), and we were completely satisfied. Our driver was safe and efficient, and Chiara our guide was informative and took great photos.

Sarah_H, Aug 2024
This is such a unique experience! I would recommend this tour to travelers in groups (MUCH cheaper that way) who want to see as much as possible outside the city of Bangkok during their stay. This tour was one of the only I could find that visited Wat Samphran, which was a non-negotiable for me and so I booked it as a solo traveler and just took the financial hit. I am so glad I did! My tour guide, Chaiya, was fantastic and very funny, which I appreciated as you spend a lot of time together! You get to do so many things on this tour, and the entire company is a community there to support you as a traveler. I highly recommend booking this tour for your trip to Bangkok!

This was a must for a trip to Thailand to take this tour. We had Tiger as our guide and Wuth as our driver. With two kids, hot weather they still managed to show us a great time. From a visit to the Railway and seeing it away from all the tourist while eating local fruit to the floating market (Thai version of Venice) and other temples..it was all an incredible Bangkok experience. We especially grateful that Tiger took special care of our children to take the time to explain the sites and immerse them in all the culture.

Great day in a comfy vehicle with our excellent guide "Lift". Made us feel comfortable. Highlight was the Floating Market, and Maeklong Railway. Good Fun. A special moment where we were able to view a private home, and see brown sugar processing. Would thoroughly recommend this tour, especially if you want to get out of the city.
Tom_P, Nov 2022
The Maeklong Railway and the floating markets were an absolutely unique experience - I’ve never seen anything like it before. We took a private tour which meant we could go at our own pace, and our tour guide Chaiya was more than happy taking photos for us
