Overall, the itinerary wasn't particularly amazing, but the point of traveling abroad is to experience local customs and culture, so I still recommend it to those interested. Aside from the promised Chinese-language guided tour being switched to English, the service and pacing were impeccable. The guide/driver only spoke English, but was friendly and attentive, proactively taking photos at each attraction and suggesting poses. They also clearly explained and reminded you of key shops, sights, and air-conditioned rest areas beforehand, ensuring you didn't miss anything. Furthermore, the travel agency's prior communication was excellent, providing detailed explanations of meeting times and locations in Chinese with pictures, alleviating any anxiety for first-time visitors to Bangkok. For those interested in this tour, I recommend booking with confidence.
It's a floating market, but the river water isn't very sanitary, so be careful not to get wet. Boats sometimes splash up. Souvenirs are, as expected in a tourist area, a bit pricey. I drank a Leo beer on a boat, and it cost 150 baht. The Maeklong Railway Market is also a place where you pay to see the trains up close, so only buy what you really need. The trains pass by very slowly. But it was fun.
They were incredibly kind in every way! They gave me some famous Thai sweets and took me to restaurants! They were also very helpful in taking pictures for me (◠‿◠)
