The Experience
What your day looks like
Get out of town! Escape the bustle of Bangkok to visit one of the must-see sites of Thailand: a floating market! Sail the canals of Damnoen Saduak and shop for souvenirs, Thai treats and other goods from the vendors who sell their wares from boats and along the riverbank. You’ll also visit the see-it-to-believe-it Railway Market, where an active train track is a makeshift shopping strip, plus discover how to make palm sugar the old-fashioned way, from a local at their countryside plantation home.

This was a very special outing. Pepa (sp?) was very thorough, professional. The only downside was the more than 2 hour drive back to Bangkok in heavy traffic which neither Pepa nor the driver had any control over. The train market was especially memorable. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Guide "A" (that was what he called himself) was fantastic! His knowledge of the markets we toured, and his willingness to take photos of us, and his pleasant disposition was a real joy. The tour was terrific, from the Railroad market (unbelievable!) to the coconut plantation (it doesn't get any more authentic than that!) to the local floating market everything was outstanding!
