It was a great private tour, just me and Mr Friday who was very nice! He grew up on the lake in a floating village so he had lots of information to share. We saw crocodiles and I even tried crocodile meat! The lunch was delicious. Great value for the money!

Great day out on the lake to see how the locals live in the area. Our guide Friday was lovely. Hotel pick up was punctual in an air conditioned van. We visited a lotus farm, a crocodile farm, had a leisurely lunch aboard the Tara before taking a short boat ride around the fringes of the floating village as we were not permitted to enter it. We weren't too fussed about that though, overall it was a good experience to get a feel for what life is like out there.
