What To Expect

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.
