About this activity
This day trips & excursions is one of the standout things to do in Bangkok, Thailand. Rated 4.3/5 by 3 travellers, it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €109 per person. A quiet, traditional floating market operating on the weekend that is off-the-beaten-track and rarely visited by foreign tourists.
Of the many floating markets in Thailand, Thaka is perhaps the most 'authentic' version that there is. Vastly different than the neighbouring floating markets at Damnern Saduak and Amphawa, Thaka is not usually on the maps of most tourists. It could be considered as the last of its kind and it would be a wise decision to visit before it too welcomes mass tourist numbers.
This quaint, laidback floating market is still fully operational. Just as they have been doing for years, the locals buy and sell fruits, meats, fish and more from their floating wooden sampan in a very relaxed, old-world vibe.
Nearby is a coconut plantation where the farmer makes palm sugar the traditional, old fashioned way.
Another stop on this tour will be at Wat Bang Kung, a century's old temple that has been surrounded by the roots of a massive Banyan Tree.
The tour will finish off with a lunch break at an open-air restaurant which is right on the side of the Mae Kong River and enjoys the river breeze.

Best time to visit
Bangkok is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular day trips & excursions slots in Bangkok sell out.
