Desde Bangkok: mercado flotante de Thaka

Very good guide The first floating market was authentic We got excellent information from Tammy. The driver was very good.

Really nice experience, the first market pretty authentic, great food. The staff was nice and we got a lot of information about the market and about Thailand.

The tour itself was worthwhile. Visited a “typical” Thai village house which was interesting until the horde of tourist buses arrived. The floating market at Thaka is a modest affair but thoroughly worthwhile. We boated past the market and through the local canals. We deliberately chose this tour as it promised to be less touristy and in terms of the markets, it delivered. The downside is that we spent an hour+ in each direction in the vehicle travelling. Whilst we enjoyed the tour and our guide was engaging and funny, we felt it was overpriced. Our guide made the day enjoyable and one hopes that she receives a good proportion of the fee, but sadly, I suspect not.

Very attentive guide. I think her name was Beer. She went out of her way to take care of a sick traveler on the tour & I was so impressed of the professionalism she displayed. The coconut farm was an enjoyable stop, the longboat ride to the floating markets was wonderful, and the floating markets is a must do if you're in Bangkok. I would not hesitate to tour with this company in the future. The only criticism I would give is that the van used for transport needs an emissions inspection because I smelt fumes in the van the entire transport.

I had a great guide: Sara, she has a lot of historical knowledge but also a lot of humor all of a sudden it makes the visit very attractive and dynamic. Having some difficulty moving around Sara adapted to me, and I found it very appreciative. I was delighted by this excursion, I recommended it.

<p>This was a very enjoyable experience to visit a real floating market where the local population actually comes to purchase prepared food and produce. There were just a few other tourists. We were picked up promptly at our hotel by the guide who also drove the car for our 1.5 hour trip. The first stop was at a coconut plantation where we saw the coconut candy being made, it is very tasty much like maple syrup candy. Then a short drive to Th Ka village to take our river boat paddled by a local woman among the floating market boats. The boat journey goes out into canals along plantation fields as well as residential areas. It is very quiet and serene. The food in the market place is very nicely prepared. On the way back to Bangkok there was another short stop at a very popular temple that is inside a massive tree. We also stopped at a coffee cafe near some sea salt evaporation ponds which were quite interesting. All in all we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of seeing a real floating market and getting outside the busy Bangkok area for the morning.</p>

<p>This was the perfect experience. It had everything that we wanted and more. Ho is an excellent guide very knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. A local that speaks English very, very well was able to tell us about so much history, answer all of our questions, and translate for us when speaking with other locals. <br/> The coconut farm was a real unique look into making sugar and the animals that live with the family were a completely unexpected delight. Tha Ka is picturesque and a real insight to local markets. The people are friendly and the food is delectable! The riverboat ride was fantastic! It is so serene traveling along the river past local fields and a few homes. The temple was completely different from all the ornate ones in the city, truly unique. A lot of history there and a lot of locals coming to make offerings. <br/> If you want to go where the locals go, this is a must do!</p>
