Great attractions to see the life of two distinct communities outside of Bangkok.
Johnny, our tour guide, was excellent and gave us a lot of historical context on both the Mae Klong Railway and Market as well as the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and Community. He had insider status with many vendors at both sites. For example, we had prime spots to see the train approaching the market in a stall on the edge of the tracks.
We are conscientious eaters and he was very accommodating to what we wanted. He kept reminding us that we should do this tour at our pace.
In addition to the tour, he shared with us what to see and do in Bangkok. He shared with us how to use the train system. He went above and beyond. He is a very funny guy and made us feel comfortable throughout the journey.
Since this is an hour to hour and a half from central Bangkok, we had to get comfortable in the private car. Manuel was a great driver who accompanied Johnny. We were given cold waters along the way, cold compresses to freshen up, and adequate toilet stops.
Worth the tour. Ask for Johnny.
