I joined this tour when I traveled alone for the first time and found it convenient and affordable. I booked it again when I traveled with my family half a year later 😆 I highly recommend this full day trip. The main extra expense was the lunch at the restaurant. We ordered a meal, a soup and a drink for two people, which cost about 500 yuan.

A highly recommended itinerary!!!! There is no tour guide in the itinerary, but since I visited the railway market and the floating market by myself, I don't think a tour guide is really needed. The driver is very friendly and will remind you to gather at each point. There is enough time for everyone to go shopping at each point. It is a very leisurely and comfortable itinerary without feeling empty. The firefly part is a bit of a pity. I thought I could see a lot, but the number is relatively scarce. It may also be that it is not yet the time for them to be really active. It is more like playing Find the Power🤣

This experience was awesome! Pook, our guide is nice and helpful. she answered our queries, explained the attractions and always lively. we enjoyed buying from the locals selling in the floating market. you can ask for discounts for souvenirs. food prices are ok and cheap contrary to other vlogs saying floating market goods prices are high. also, we loved the food in the restaurant they brought us. they will even let you wear the thai costumes for free! lastly, in the train market, you can get much cheaper souvenirs ! thank you, guys!
