5.00A very interesting insight into rural life away from the city. Tuk tuk ride across the city to the river ferry and then around several islands to see the locals in their lovely friendly villages
Out of town, into the countryside.

5.00Nice trip a whole day! Guiden Thong, got to show us a lot. We drove Tuk-Tuk and it was airy and quite nice. Good driver. We got to see the countryside with everything they grow, got to taste something and stopped a little around. Visited silk weaving, oh then you must of course buy something... very nice craftsmanship. We stopped at a place where they produce soybean extract, a strange way to do it, never seen anything like that. Got drinks, fruit and lovely lunch on a fleet by the river. Cross river race by ferry several times. The trip is recommended!
Wonderful private tour to the countryside
