A must do, get to see multiple unique places in one trip. - You get to see so much in one trip, with a car ride to a sea salt farm, train ride to the train market, car ride to a boat, boat ride through coconut groves to a floating market, and ample time given at each to roam around and explore/eat. You really have to see it in person to understand the train market. The floating market looks like a lot of souvenir shops at first but later in the boat ride you hit the main market with people selling great local food from their boats.

Lots of driving . Overpriced mass produced tourist rubbish being offered - Long drives ( but saw a bit of outside Bancock other than traffic jams); Guide very helpful and thoughtful . We were taken to salt flats and on train (after 90 minutes in car another 30 minutes on train ). 5 minutes at market while train passed through going back Would have liked to spend a lot longer at market .floating market a waste of time...passing loads of stalls with the same tourist mass produced overpriced tat . Then another 90minutes car ride back to hotel .

Find a different company - The company running the tour contacted me to make me change the time I wanted. In hindsight, this was to suit them, not because there were no other customers. The driver was prompt for pick up. However, his driving was too fast and very dangerous. The fact he stopped to buy a bag of weed on the way may or may not have impacted this, but definitely wasn’t a good look. The guide considered it ok to physically poke at me several times, for different reasons. I did not. The railway market was ok. When we reached the long tailed boat dock we were offered extra activities of tiger viewing, elephant riding… We did not take them. Had I known animal cruelty was being promoted I would not have taken this tour. The floating market was ok, for tourists not a local fruit and vegetable market. The drive back was better, we had a different driver.
