How to waste a day
Pick up was at 07:15 and it then took 2 hours to pick up the other people on the tour. The bus was also very uncomfortable and we didn’t get back to our hotel until 6pm with the tour guide leaving about 90 mins before the end. The guide also walked far too quickly at the various locations and it was difficult to keep up and we had to wait for everyone to get back together. Palace was interesting but the floating market was just offering cheap rubbish and was crowded and noisy. The railway market was also similar. If you want to waste a full day in BKK then this is the tour for you. I did complain and asked for a refund but was declined.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. Pickup time may take longer depending on the number and location of guests, especially during busy periods. We also regret any discomfort you experienced and that the guide’s pace was not suitable for you. Your comments are important to us, and we will share them with the tour operator for review and improvement.

Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $27 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour, Must-Try: Hidden Bangkok Bike and Food Tour, Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour?
+
Included: Pick-up and drop-off at Meeing Point; English speaking guide; Grand Palace Ticket (Optional); In-vehicle air conditioning; and Insurance. Not included: Lunch; and If you choose the meeting point option, please do not enter a hotel name, as it is not req. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 1398 listed pickup locations in and around Bangkok. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bangkok Grand Palace, Floating Market & Maeklong Market Day Tour offered in?
+

+
