Amazing floating market and waterfalls experience!
My tour guide Army and our driver were amazing! I had a great time and feel well taken care of. We first started out at the wonderful floating market and also got to see a behind the scenes tour of how the farmers harvest the coconut trees. The boat ride was really fun and the coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice were so good! We then went to the River Kwai bridge and war memorial cemetery where I really appreciated Army’s knowledge of the historical significance of the region’s connection to WW2. We ended the tour with the spectacular Erawan waterfalls! The water was perfect and it was breathtaking to swim and go under the waterfalls. The lunch after was really yummy! An amazing day! Thank you Army and our driver for taking care of me!
Response from the operator: Dear Steve Thank you very much for your great review on your "Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall" for our Guide "Army" and our driver "Non". We wish you and your family all the best. Quality Thai Guide team

One of the most beautiful excursions with our great guide Patrick :))
We made this trip together with our guide Patrick. He was very nice and we felt that he knows very well about the tour and the sights. You can have great conversations with him and the day is really fun with him. In my opinion one of the best tour guides we have ever had. Also to mention, our driver was equally very nice. In addition to the described title, we also visited the Kwai Bridge. Patrick got us some snacks to try at the floating market as well as afterwards. The total car journeys are about 8 hours throughout the day. The floating market absolutely worth seeing, but in the longtail boat on the wooden bench the seat meat is taken very much. The bridge over the Kwai is very interesting, but it is very hot there. Last but not least, Erawan Waterfall. A beautiful natural spectacle with the possibility to go swimming in the second stage and get a foot peeling immediately. Small fish nibble on the feet, the water was strangely pleasantly warm. After that we had some more food and then started the journey home.
Response from the operator: Dear Stefan Thank you very much for your great review on your "Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall" with our guide "Patrick". We were very happy to know that you were very satisfied with our tour and services. Thank you again for your travel with us. We wish you and your family all the best. Yours sincerely, Quality Thai Guide team, Patrick

Wonderful day at Erawan falls and Bangkok floating market
Harry was a fabulous guide for us. He is so much fun! What a happy person! The floating market is a one of a kind experience and Harry was helpful in both navigating to the best shops and advising us on interacting with the merchants. It was such a great time! The Erawan falls are beautiful and relaxing. The water is very clean and refreshing, not too warm and not too cold. The little fish nibbled on our toes! We also stopped at the bridge over the river Kwai on the way back to Bangkok. All around an excellent tour and Harry made it a very special day!

Wonderful excursion
Harry is a fantastic tour guide. He is comical, warm and genuine. The floating markets were fascinating and he guided us to the best vendors and artists and treated us to his favorite coconut ice cream and sticky rice. We enjoyed the beauty of the Erawan waterfalls and safely trekked to level 4. The water was crystal clear and full of resident fish. Lastly, we made time to explore the Bridge Over River Kwai to learn about Thailand’s ties to World War II. It was a spectacular day with a wonderful guide and fantastic, safe driver.

Nice and delicious way to experience Chinatown
We did the Chinatown tour together with Khun Noom and all in all it was a great experience. We were picked up at the MRT station and were given a description of the tour. We couldn't do the first stop (Kao Moo Krob) as the shop was already out of food but instead we got mango with sticky rice at the end of the tour. It was nice that they organised an alternative, however, as we live in Thailand we were looking for some unique food from Chinatown (and mango with sticky rice was not one of them). Noom was really nice, his English was good and he explained a lot about Chinatown, the history, the food and the people living here. As I am Vegetarian, he really made a lot of effort to find some alternatives for me as another stop (Hoi Todd) wasn't possible as the food is cooked in pork fat and also the dim sum was not vegetarian as they put pork in every dim sum. Instead of that, he ordered a set menu for me at the Canton House. Unfortunately, it was again very traditional Thai food and no Chinese food but I really appreciated his efforts and for someone travelling to Bangkok just for a short holiday it is for sure a good alternative. Also another stop (Guay Jab) was not suitable for me as a Vegetarian, however, the rest of the group enjoyed it a lot. All in all, it was a lot of food and we were able to pack the leftovers from the Canton House and take it home with us. At the end of the tour, he organised 2 tuk-tuks for us (as our group of 4 was heading in different directions) which were also included in the price, together with all the food and drinks. He also took many pictures of our group and they were sent to us 1 day later per email. All in all, I can fully recommend the Chinatown tour and Quality Thai Guide in general and the price is fair as it is a private tour (no other group joins this tour), you get a lot of food and drinks and transportation is included as well.
Response from the operator: Dear RJulia_88 Thank you for your great review on your “Evening Chinatown Food Tour” with our Quality Thai Guide “Noom”. We were glad to hear that you were very satisfied with our tour and services. We will continue to improve the quality of our tour and services for our future travellers. Thank you again for your travel with us and we wish you and your family all the best. We look forward to seeing you and your family again in the near future. Yours faithfully, Quality Thai Guide team and Noom

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $3900 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 Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall?
+
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 Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall?
+
Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Excursion to Floating Market and Erawan Waterfall 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 Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. 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.
