Anyone recommend a day tour which includes Floating Market / River Kwai / Tiger Temple ?
Seems plenty on offer - just wonder if anyone has some inside info.
Cheers.

We have done Kwai bridge and tiger temple on a day tour but the one we still talk about is the ABC bicycle tour we did down the back streets,across the river etc really enjoyable and at a steady pace.there is a new Flight of the Gibbon which we may do this year.
Do you have more info on the Bicycle Tour ? Sounds interesting.

We did the floating market in December, Don't waste your time Total tourist trap
Looks like you did it 3 times !!

Can you elaborate as many in my party think it's 'a must see'.
Good to able to tell them not to bother.
Is there hassle (more than normal for tourists) or worsen?
Thanks.

Yes, tour with tong has great trips and scores very highly on trip advisor. Will be on one next Sunday!
They do Taylor made as well. Find on net or Facebook.
Will be very interested to hear which tour you chose and how it went.
Thanks.

The Tiger Temple isn't that exciting tbh, most of the tigers are very sleepy. (There are claims they are drugged but I ended up running into a chap at Chang Mai who used to work there and he assured me they weren't)..

Not that bothered by Tigers TBH but you try telling that to two eight olds and a forty-eight year old !!!!
I'd read that most people reckon they are drugged but tigers are nocturnal creatures I thought so guess what - they are sleepy during the day.

OK done the days in Bangkok. Now in Cambodia !
Thanks for the tips here.

We stayed at the Chatrium Riverside which was an excellent hotel. Staff very efficient and invisible. Rooms great. We hired a Van with TourwithTong and did a whole day trip. Visited the Train Market, Floating Market, Tiger Temple, BORK. Long day which gave us a quick trip round the popular sights. Whets the appetite for a more relaxed lengthy visit next time.
