Amazing Experience Outside the Hustle and Bustle of Bangkok - This is a must-do especially if you're only in Bangkok during the week. We were shocked to find that the Floating Market in Bangkok is only on weekends, so this experience came in clutch as it runs all week long! You can't not go to Thailand without trying the floating market at least once and this provided that opportunity for us. The thrill of riding a boat and haggling over prices was priceless! Be sure to bargain!! We scored great deals, while having an ice cream on a coconut! Just be sure to bring cash as not all vendors accept card, and if they do, there's a charge. Fees add up and both you and vendors end up losing. I won't dock the score, but I do wish the tour was a wee bit longer as there are times where we felt rushed. But again, I can't expect too much from a half-day tour. For the price, it was all worth it. Our tour guide was helpful and knowledgeable. His name escapes me, but he even helped us ask one of the boat drivers to let us take a solo picture on the boat. The bus was also great; it was comfy and the AC was nice! A nice little bonus was the tour of the coconut plantation. It was great to see local craftspeople showing the many uses of coconut. It was also a great opportunity to see an authentic Thai household. Pro-tip: try not to buy the souvenirs at this stop as you can find many of those same things at the market and for lower price.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique adventure near Bangkok! - We had such a fun time visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market! The whole experience felt so unique and authentic, like stepping back in time. Riding along in a paddle boat was amazing—you get to see all the stalls up close and even chat with some of the vendors. There were so many cool things to see and try, from fresh fruit to handmade crafts, and of course, some delicious street food! Our guide Ms Nok was super friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories about the market’s history and helping us navigate the bustling waterways. It was a fantastic way to experience a real piece of Thai culture. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok

Easy day trip when in Bangkok!! - This was a great tour to explore the floating market tradition. The pit stop on the way at the coconut farm and traditional Thai house is a nice touch too. Joom, our travel guide for the day was excellent. She was courteous, accomodating and helpful. She knew the details well and allowed us sufficie to time without being pushy anywhere. She also made good lunch recommendations and helped us with arranging vegan food. Overall a nice tour and worth the money. It's a bonus if Joom is assigned as the tour guide. Rashmi & Sunuj

Busy Floating Market - It’s a very busy market and many boats competing to get through. It would be great to have less of gasoline powered boats … so bring your mask and arrive early. And keep your hands in the boat.
