Good fun on motor boat driving through canal streets of the Floating Market, not much opportunity to buy anything. Our tour guide Jim had everything well organised. Its a long journey there but broken up with a stop at the Salt plains and Coconut Sugar Farm. Definitely worth a trip there.”

We opted for non all inclusive with drinks as we wanted to purchase our own choice of bottle of wine. Would definitely recommend for you to add to your hit list of things to do in Bangkok.”
