About
60kms from Bangkok is one of the most authentic floating markets in Thailand, Thaka Floating Market. Your guide will meet you at your hotel at 7.00am and take you past rural farmland and coconut plantations to this functioning weekend floating market where easy-going locals welcome you to their age-old lifestyle.
Still primarily geared toward the local market, you will want to take advantage of the very cheap Thai coffee, snacks, drinks, etc.
Combine your visit to Thaka with other nearby places for the ideal full-day. Travel the scenic countryside past typical Thai homes, farmland and markets.
Visit Kanchanaburi's JEATH Museum. Step into a reconstructed hut resembling the living quarters of WW2 POWs to see paintings and photos of, and by, the prisoners.
Ride by long-tail speedboat for a Thai Set Menu Lunch.
Walk on the railway tracks over the Bridge over the River Kwai with your guide.
Hop into your vehicle to see nature at its most beautiful, being the 7-tiered Erawan Waterfall.

- Hollyg020 contributionsBook this trip guide RACHThe trip was excellent. The guides name is RACH he was Fantastic extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his subject.

- sabot550 contributionsIt's okay, just okay....The food was good, but it was just way too crowded and the music was way too loud. You can't have a conversation without screaming across the table.Written December 3, 2024
- Inspire116049038050 contributionsFast passport controlEverything was as planned or even better. Really fast passport control without queuing. I recommend very much. I order this service again.Written December 2, 2024
- elliotn6270 contributionsDelicious Food on the WaterDelicious food and great service! It was a cool way to see the city lit up at night. And they were great at accommodating us being pescatarian.Written December 2, 2024
- tomcI1234TS0 contributionsA fun eveningIt was a fun evening of dance and entertainment. The MC were a bit cheesy and hard to understand at times. But the performance was nice. We also enjoy the pre show dinner that also came with some traditional Thai dances. Overall a fun evening.Written December 2, 2024
- caminitoamor0 contributionsThe gems of nighttime entertainment in PhuketCarnival Magic is one of the gems of nighttime entertainment in Phuket. With its vibrant and colorful atmosphere, it breaks all conventions, and it’s no surprise it holds nine Guinness World Records. It’s a perfect spot for couples and families, offering attractions for everyone. There’s never a dull moment! The buffet was delicious, but what truly amazed us were the spectacular performances and the floats in the 9:30 PM show. And I can’t skip mentioning the bathrooms; they’re out of this world! It’s the first time I’ve highlighted bathrooms in a review, but these are no ordinary ones. Highly recommended!Written December 1, 2024
- Daydream003420418500 contributionsBlessing!!This was such a blessing! It literally took 4 of us , 10 mins to clear immigration and after travelling almost 10 hours , you just want to get this part done with! It cost us only 200THB per head which is next to nothing! Definitely worth paying this amount to get your holiday started!Written November 30, 2024
- dtgolish0 contributionsA wash out dinner cruiseThis dinner cruise was booked through Gate one travel group. Our tour manager booked us a top deck seating. The skies opened up all evening in Bangkok. We waited in a crushing people line to try to get on boat. At last minute we were squeezed into a seating area in front of stairway.we had wet seats and poor service. The cruise boat should not book a packed cruise, not allowing for the frequent rain storms at this time of year. Very poor experienceWritten November 30, 2024
- ga5450 contributionsGreat bday celebrationVery pleasant dinner bday with family. We order premium with wine pairing for me and husband and to my son regular, both very good and served, although my steak was overcooked. Wine selection was pretty good and staff very kind and prompt. Service was very sincronized with the timimg in the seen spots. Was a nice expirence, recomended. No dresscode applied what maybe can lose a bit off the glaumour off a such beatifull antique boat cruise. But no complaints at all just expectation was high for a cruise named luxurious. And i very thankfull for the kindness attention and care for all the staff they make a memorable celebration.Written November 30, 2024
- Bedcow0 contributionsRiver cruiseLovely to see the lights along the river. Music was very loud so no chance of conversation. Food was fairly good but not sure of value for money.Written November 30, 2024
- sandrabillso0 contributionsLounge offers a comfortable environment before your flightI booked this online for myself and partner. The receptionist at the Lounge was warm and inviting, stamping my boarding pass and providing me with a Wi-Fi code, and escorting me into the lounge which was nice. Plenty of seats inside the lounge and wifi is included. The buffet was small but they had decent salads, hot food and desserts in 2 areas. Wine was nice and all included. For the price you paid, this is a wonderful lounge before your flight.Written November 29, 2024
