Amongst various floating markets in Thailand, Thaka stands out as likely the most ‘genuine’. It offers a unique experience compared to neighboring floating markets like Damnern Saduak and Amphawa, and isn’t typically featuring on tourist itineraries. This could potentially be the final such market and considering a visit before it becomes another tourist hotspot might be a wise move.
This charming, serene floating market operates fully as it has been for many years, where local vendors sell a variety of goods like fruits, meats and fish from their drifting wooden sampans, all done in a very chill, traditional atmosphere.
Close by, there’s a coconut plantation where the farmer creates palm sugar using an age-old method.
One of the highlights of this trip will be a visit to Wat Bang Kung, an ancient temple encased in the roots of a gigantic Banyan Tree.
The tour concludes with a leisurely lunch in an al fresco restaurant located next to the Mae Kong River, where patrons can enjoy the refreshing river breeze.
