About Thailand Insight Travel

The Floating and Rail Market is a unique and exciting experience that offers a glimpse into the vibrant culture and lifestyle of Thailand. The journey begins with a private trip, guided by the experienced Mrs. Lin. With years of experience under her belt, she ensures that her guests get the best out of their day. The trip starts on a train, where Mrs. Lin guides her guests to the best photo spots, ensuring they capture the essence of the journey. She is known for her caring nature and her ability to provide interesting information about Thailand's surroundings and people.

The journey continues with a floating boat trip, an unusual sight where people make a living alongside a winding river. The boat ride is a pleasant experience, with friendly boat captains and the opportunity to enjoy some tasty street food. However, be prepared for some unexpected encounters with the local wildlife, including snakes and iguanas, which can be a thrilling experience for the more adventurous travelers.

The private tour with Pailin is another highlight of the trip. Pailin is a seasoned professional who meets her guests promptly at their hotel in the morning. She, along with a driver, picks up the guests in a comfortable minivan. The first stop is at the pick-up point for the train ride, a discrete section of rail below the highway. Pailin ensures her guests get the best seats in the house for the view upfront. After the train market, the journey continues to the floating market tour, where Pailin assists with bargaining for souvenirs. The day ends with an unscheduled stop at a salt farm and coffee shop, a delightful treat to wrap up the day.

The tour company, led by Mr. Dui, is known for its friendly and professional service. The group size is kept small to ensure excellent customer service. The transportation is clean, on time, and comfortable. The markets can be quite hot, so be prepared to sweat. However, the experience is worthwhile, especially for non-Asians. Mr. Dui and his tour company come highly recommended for those planning to visit these markets.

The trip also offers value for money, especially for those unsure about participating in watersports. For a reasonable price, guests can enjoy a deal that includes hotel transfer in a van, speed boat transfer to Coral Island, an Indian lunch, and then transfer back to the hotel. For those not interested in watersports, the trip organizer can take you directly to Coral Island, saving more time for exploration.

The day trip is a must-do experience. After getting picked up, guests are taken straight to the train market, an authentic experience with friendly shops and vendors. Prices are super cheap, and there is time to shop around and take pictures. The journey continues to the floating market, where all the shops are accessible from the boat. However, be aware that vendors can be very pushy and may inflate prices. The advice is to enjoy the ride, listen to the detailed history lessons from the guide, and snack on some cheap treats. The tour ends with a safe return to the hotel, leaving guests with a memorable experience of Thailand's vibrant culture and lifestyle.
