We start with a visit to a unique fresh market on railway tracks. When the train passes through, merchants quickly fold their stall covers and move all their products away from the track. Just a second after the train passes through vendors are rolling tables and baskets back into position and business resumes as if nothing had happened.
We then continue to the nearby local style Tha kha floating market. A very authentic floating market that still operates as 30 years ago. We will go on the rowing boat to explore the surrounding plantation areas and visit a coconuts sugar factory. Tha Kha is a great place to taste tropical fruits, a refreshing snack during the hot tropical days.
Tha Kha is not open every day, please check for availability. Schedule is based on moon phases.
This is a half day tour. Optional attractions for afternoon:
- Rose Garden Cultural Show
- Wat Khanon museum with Nang Yai shadow play figures
- Tham Khao Bin cave
- Mahachai seafood market
- Chatuchak weekend market (also open weekday |

Meet up location: Lobby of your hotel in Bangkok or at Klong Toey port for cruise ship passengers
For cruise passengers arriving in Laem Chabang port this attraction is too far driving (around 3 hours), if your ship boards 2 or more days then this tour is possible if you overnight in Bangkok. I can make a customized tour for multiple days. |
