Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Geniet van een dagexcursie van Bangkok naar de legendarische Damnoen Saduak-drijvende markt, ongeveer 65 mijl (110 kilometer) ten westen van de Thaise hoofdstad. Je reis begint met een ontspannen en mooie rit door rijstvelden en zoutvelden. Onderweg, bezoek een boerderij en kijk naar de lokale bevolking die suiker van kokos produceert. De tour gaat vervolgens verder per boot, langs fruitplantages en Thaise huizen die een meer traditionele manier van leven onthullen. Bij aankomst op de Damnoen Saduak drijvende markt, ontdek boten in alle verschillende soorten en maten, nog steeds gebruikt door lokale kooplieden om hun goederen te vervoeren langs dit Venetië van het Oosten. Nadat je jezelf ondergedompeld hebt in de elektrische omgeving, ga je terug naar Bangkok en stop je onderweg bij een houtsnijwerkfabriek.
Na de lunch bezoekt u het huis van de koningen van Siam van de Chakri-dynastie in het hart van Bangkok. Oorspronkelijk gebouwd door koning Rama I, en diende als koninklijke residentie tot 1946, vandaag wordt het paleis gebruikt voor het bezoeken van royalty's of speciale gasten van het Koninkrijk.
Grenzend aan het Grand Palace, bewonder de tempel van de Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Keo), de bekendste van de koninklijke tempels, en beschouwd als de belangrijkste tempel in heel Thailand. Het wordt gebruikt voor tal van religieuze ceremonies waaraan de koning deelneemt, vooral aan het begin van elk van de 3 seizoenen wanneer de koning persoonlijk de ingewikkelde gewaden van het Boeddha-beeld verandert, uitgehouwen uit een enkel stuk emeraldgroene jaspis.

Amazing day with Noina! Friendly wonderful service! She was fun, helpful, super knowledgeable. Good value for money. Loved our tour
They operators scam you at the gate with outrageous prices. The taxi drivers in Bangkok deliver you to a side gate and are in on this scam
This is irrelevant to the tour, we do not use taxi's, our tours are with a guide and private vehicle, please erase this comment. .
Our tour guide Noina was an absolute gem. She picked us up in the lobby of our hotel downtown Bangkok and we drove south toward the floating market. Along the way she shared a massive amount of information about Thai living, history and culture. We stopped at a small family run coconut (farm?) where she showed us how they use the whole fruit to produce coconut sugar, lotion, bowls, etc. we were able to see their traditional home as well, which we were so grateful for. It was beautiful and really lovely to see something so uniquely local and hands-on. We went on to the floating market- the canal ride was a blast. The market itself was a little overwhelming (LOTS of vendors wanting your business) but plenty of shopping opportunities. Noina gave us advice on bargaining, which was kind and showed us her favorite food vendors - fresh fruit, coconut pancakes, mango and sticky rice, etc. We had a buffet style lunch on a boat just outside the market, which was a nice way to sample a variety of Thai food. We took an alternate route back to Bangkok, passing shrimp farms and more countryside life. The Grand Palace was unimaginably huge and beautiful and we were beyond grateful to have Noina to explain the history and significance and give us a proper tour - I can only imagine how overwhelmed we would have been to navigate it on our own. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Noina was amazing and we had wonderful time.
Our tour guide was Great! She made the experience a really fantastic one! She was attentive, informative but also unobtrusive, which was nice! The floating market may have become touristy but honestly my husband and I enjoy seeing and doing some of the touristy stuff while on vacation. It was actually a really fun experience and the food phenomenal! So don’t miss it based on anyone saying it’s a bit touristy! The market shopping was similar between booths but still fun! Negotiating over the Best Buy kept it entertaining! The Grand Palace was so worth seeing! If you see one thing while in Bangkok this would be It! It was one of the few places I have visited where the beauty was impossible to describe and being well traveled and slightly jaded I can say in all honesty this surpassed my expectations on every level! It was probably one of the most awe inspiring sites I have ever seen! All and all if you are deciding between tours I can definitely say I liked this one extremely well and I liked the private tour since it was 100 percent on our time table and pace! Definite worth the money!
Our tour guide Cat, was amazing! She was very knowledgeable of the places we went! She even took us extra places to shop! The floating Market was exceptional! Enjoyed very much!!
TravelHub met us at our cruise ship and drove us to Bangkok. We saw the Damnoen Saduak floating market, cruised the canals and took us to the amazing train market. People use the train tracks for their market path. The train comes between buildings 8x a day and when it does when it does, people have to clear a path. Once it's gone, the market is instantly back to business! TravelHub met us at our hotel early the next morning to get our day in, and get us back to our ship in time.
<p>Kat was Amazing. She was informative, kind, not pushy. The driver Mr. Nat was also very helpful, available too. Very helpful that she knows the locals and her way around to good food. Also made it customizable since we were the only couple for the trip. IT was very comfortable, and definitely would recommend for anyone.</p>
unique floating market, you can eat on the boat, buy, see typical Thai products
<p>A bit of a disappointment because it was New Year's Day and most people were on holiday</p>
<p>Not much added value except transportation. The tour guide could not provide much more history or cultural knowledge that we can get by basic google research. There's only one route to walk about the floating market. Tour excludes boat ride in the actual floating market. <br/> Pros: private, hotel pick up drop off<br/> Neutral: tour guide's English<br/> Cons: Knowledge of religion is sub-par.<br/> Itinerary:<br/> Morning: <br/> Coconut sugar and by-product factory - Elephant ride we skipped this due to animal cruelty - woodwork shop - boat ride to the floating market - Floating market on foot<br/> Lunch buffet at a hotel package excludes drinks<br/> Afternoon:<br/> Grand palace and Wat Phra</p>
