What people are saying about Central Thailand

We had a lovely time with our young family, I was initially concerned it may not be suitable for my 2 year old and 3 year old girls but they loved the train ride and sitting on the boat in the floating market soaking all the new experiences . We had a great time. It would have had been nice to explore some of the stalls at the railway and floating market but we didn’t have much time, so this trip is less about shopping and more just taking everything in. Lucky our guide was great! She was very knowledgeable and looked after us well. She spoilt our little girls with coconut ice cream which they loved. Thanks again!!

Unreal!!! What an amazing day. I would highly recommend getting a private tour guide for this special experience. We visited the salt flats, took the train into the heart of the 1st market, and saw the intimate details of how the stall owners have to work around life on the train tracks. For the 2nd market, we had a private long tail boat take us to the heart of the market where we had the option to buy food, beer, souvenirs - all from our boat. This is a must do if you’re visiting Bangkok. Special shout out to our amazing guide, Siri.

Katy was our guide and she was SO CUTE. She was so knowledgable and chirpy the whole entire trip. This was one of the key highlights in Bangkok - what a unique experience! Totally recommend

It was great, thiuroughly reccommend the tour company. The guide, Tammy was lovely and shared a lot of information about Thai Culture.

The day trip to the rail market and then to the loating market was a real travel experience
