The Thaka Floating Market, located 60 kilometers from Bangkok, is a quintessential Thai experience. A guide will pick you up from your hotel at 7.00am and escort you through verdant farmland and stretches of coconut trees to this lively weekend market. It’s a chance to immerse yourself in a traditional Thai lifestyle cherished by the laid-back locals.
While the market predominantly caters to locals, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the pocket-friendly Thai coffee, refreshments, and nibbles available.
Pair your Thaka trip with other nearby attractions for a well-rounded day. Weave through the picturesque countryside, taking in local residences, farmsteads, and regional markets.
Make a stop at Kanchanaburi’s JEATH Museum, where you can enter a replica of a WW2 POW hut and witness historical paintings and photographs made by or depicting the prisoners.
A long-tailed speedboat ride will take you to relish a Thai Set Menu Lunch.
Follow your guide on a walk along the tracks of the Bridge over the River Kwai.
Finally, embark on a ride to marvel at Erawan Waterfall’s cascading seven tiers - a true testament to nature’s unspoiled beauty.
