Great Food Finds at the Floating Market

5.00Tina is such an amazing tour. The railway market was really fun to walk around, but honestly, the food at the floating market was the real highlight of the day. There were so many things to try that it was hard to choose, so we ended up tasting a bit of everything local snacks, fresh exotic fruits, and of course the coconut ice cream served in a coconut shell, which was absolutely perfect. What I loved most was how Tina knew all the little hidden spots. She took us to some “secret” snacks we would’ve never found on our own, and every stop was worth it. Nothing felt rushed, just good food and a great atmosphere.
Trains, Boats, and Amazing Fruit!

5.00My husband and I had the best time with Annie. As a licensed guide, her English was perfect and she explained so much about the history of the canal way of life. She pointed out all the best seasonal fruits at the railway market we ended up buying some of the freshest mangoes and mangosteen I’ve ever tasted. The private boat at the floating market was great because we could go at our own pace without being crowded. Thanks, Annie, for a wonderful day!
My Swedish friends were right

5.00I’ve wanted to visit this place ever since my friends back in Sweden told me it’s a 'must-see' in Thailand. Seeing that train literally brush past the fruit baskets was absolute madness! Our guide, Kay, was a total legend. She made sure we got the best spot for the 'gram and even treated us to some Mango Sticky Rice that was out of this world.
Tour with a Wonderful Guide

5.00So glad we chose the private option. We saw the big tour buses arriving and they looked so cramped. We had a lovely private car and our guide, May, was just delightful. She was so patient while we browsed the souvenir stalls and never made us feel rushed. The 'motor boat' experience at the floating market was a blast, and May even surprised us with some delicious coconut ice cream. It was the perfect introduction to Thailand outside of the main city center.
A Nice Visit to Damnoen Saduak

5.00Tina took us to Damnoen Saduak and it was so amazing! The canals are filled with wooden boats and bright umbrellas. We ate delicious mango sticky rice right on the boat while drifting past stalls.
I love The boat ride

5.00Poppy guided us through the floating chaos perfectly. The vibrant colors of the fruits and the paintings for sale are a photographer's dream. It's busy, it's loud, and it's absolutely beautiful.

5.00The van was ice cold (thank god!) and our driver was so smooth, I actually napped on the way back. Annie was our guide and she was so sweet. She helped us haggle for some elephant pants and silk scarves at the market. Felt like traveling with a friend.
Great trip

5.00Cheers to Tina for showing us around. The train market is actually exciting. At the floating market, Tina treated us with coconut ice-cream and mango sticky rice to enjoy on the boat, which was a nice touch.
