We had a great tour with Lin. She met us at the hotel and we rode about 70 KM outside Bangkok city to see the rural life of the Thai people. Lin told us about the salt farms and we had a delicious Thai coffee. We took a train ride to the Risky Market and Lin made sure we had the best seats to view the croud as we pulled into the station. Lin also took photos and videos of us on our journey. We then went to the floating market where vendors were selling their wares from boats and piers on the canal. It was interesting to see the local residents out doing their morning chores. Lin then suggested a great place for lunch on our own. The food was delicious and the restaurant was very nice. We then had a 2 hour ride back to our hotel. Our driver was also fantastic watching out for us along the way. This tour was a great way to see the life outside the city and to experience life amongst the locals.

Our trip was well organized, we had a chance to take the train and arrive to the railway market and were very impressed how this all works! We could buy some nice fruit too. Then we visited coconut farm which was great and then we went to the floating market where we tried delicious coconut ice-cream, pad Thai and Tom yum soup! Our guide - Luck was amazing! Totally recommend taking a tour with her!

Luck, my tour guide, was excellent. Would give ten stars if I could. Timing of tour was perfect. Tour guide spent a lot of time reviewing the history.

We did a private tour at 9:00. Our tour guide was Luck. The company suggested we do the earlier time the day before, but we chose to stick with our time due to recently arriving in Thailand. If you chose the 9:00 tour you are unable to go to the coconut farm because it is closed by time you get there. But the rail road tour and the floating market were great!! Luck ensured we knew what was going on and translated for us when needed. She shared a lot of information about the Thai culture and answered all our questions. She was friendly and helpful. The driver was very kind, I don't think he spoke much English but was very helpful and was a safe driver.

We woke up bright and early to go on this tour this morning and it really did not disappoint! Our guide Ice was on time to meet us at our hotel and whisked us off in a nice clean air conditioned 4x4 with the lovely Mr Samlaan as our driver. We opted for the private tour as we wanted to be comfortable and also add/remove things we did or didn’t want to do if the need arose.
We went to see a salt farm before and a coconut farm inbetween seeing the two markets. Recommend both but loved the coconut farm - the owner was so charming and there were so many products available to buy right there.

For the railway market, Mr Samlaan dropped us off and you ride the train into the railway market and are able to see how close the stalls are to the railway - you can actually high five the vendors through the window! When the train leaves you get to see the vendors tidying their stalls off the railway lines in preparation - some of the tables are on wheels to make it easier. It really is a fascinating experience. The floating market is no less amazing - food, clothes, accessories - you name it!

Through it all ICE was just amazing! Really responsive to what his tourists want to do, very friendly and always happy to take a picture/answer a question/hold a bag! Really can’t recommend him highly enough. He also contacted us the day before to let us have his number and check we didn’t have any questions about what was happening the next day.
That brings me on to organization which was flawless for us as well. We got our tickets online and everything was paid in advance (bar any shopping and food of course!). Ice contacted us the day before and was there waiting for us when we got into the lobby.
It was a brilliant day - highly recommend this tour and Ice!

My partner and I had such a fun and amazing experience with Ice. We started our day at the salt farms and railway market, and then we headed over to the coconut sugar farm and floating market. Ice was very attentive. In fact, when we mentioned that we liked seafood, he even stopped at a popular seafood restaurant to introduce us to some new foods from the area. We felt like we were taken care of every step of the way. Ice took photos of us and shared unique tips and information about traveling in Thailand. I highly recommend this tour!
