Railway craziness and boat frenzy - This was a great tour, lots of fun and adrenalin! The railway was just madness and the market was like a grand prix for boats!! Very touristy, both visits, but great fun. The boats calmedafter the market and was lovely - the railway was seriously madness!! We would strongly recommend this tour and it was one of our Bangkok highlights!

Like nothing else but that awful van ride - Our trip was good if you ignore the van ride. Our guide Nan was great and kept us moving while stopping frequently for sites and bathrooms. Nan was absolutely focused on us making it to train on time, when we could have 5 minutes at monument not 30 second group shot. But not on your for that monument so that was fine. The van!...we sat in front row of seats. They have wedged in 4 rows of seats and kept the insert behind drivers seat. NO ROOM for your feet You have sit with feet wedged under seat sideways. My knee hurt so bad I thought about ripping out that counsel behind driver. It was loose and could go. We rode on other tours where that was removed and what a difference. My knee is still sore on stairs days later!
