I'am lucky enough to get Tong for a day. We are 2 adults and one child (9-year old).
Thought of doing Tiger temple and Floating market. Selected the two based on the reviews posted here.
Floating market - definetely wanted to do and Tiger temple should be fun with Tong.
Is it fine or do you have any alternate suggestions.
Cheers,
A day with Tong

Oops my post above was in response to another post that has been deleted.
My 7 and 10 year old boys found visiting the Elephant baths a much better experience than the Tiger Temple, though they enjoyed that as well. If your 9 year old is adventurous ask Tong to include this. You ride Bare-backed on an Elephant into a beutiful section of the River Kwai and then bath and play with them and the mahouts....priceless experience.
Give the Train track Market a look as well, it is really unique and a fun thing to do with Tong.
YOu are lucky to get Tong. We had her for a guide 2 years ago and she is a gem. Waling with the tigers was a thrill. The secret place was quite an adventure. I loved the floating market. Pleas say hi to Tong from Don & Chris is you remember.Thanks
