The vest tour experience with the best tour guide - This was one activity that we were looking forward too and it did NOT disappoint. From the moment we stepped out of our building , we were greeted by one of the most friendliest staff with a big smile on his face , Noi (sorry about the spelling if its wrong). The trip over to the markets was also exciting - Noi made the whole trip exciting with all his knowledge (this guy needs a pay raise). We loved every bit of this trip and a big thank you to our tour guide. Noi & our driver for getting us there and back safely

Surprising visit - A spectacular visit that cannot be missed in Bangkok. Very curious to see that way of selling and buying. There is food, clothing and souvenirs. I recommend visiting by long-tail rowing boat (not motorized).

Worth a visit - I see many mixed reviews about this trip. We are a couple late 50s and travelled quite a lot. We still found this worthwhile. Go early!!! To avoid loads of people. Try a private or small group not bus loads which are horrid. Yes it is touristy but the history and going around was still fun. Coconut ice cream yum. Barter 50% off everything.

Far from being the best - Worth a visit, but far from being the best in South East Asia .. compare to Mekong Delta, Insle Lake in Myanmar…

Expensive Boat aRide - Took a taxi from Bangkok. Took two hours. To get to the destination. It was an expensive two hours boat ride in the market. It was almost 100 USD per person. Market was not floating at all.

To flee…… - To flee ……. Except for wasting time and money The only positive point is the small boat when it leaves the market and puts on the gas.

Total sham! Price doesnt include anything! - Absolutely terrible tour. We drove 1.5 hours outside of Bangkok (which was not in the description) and the guide was silent the entire ride. He even fell asleep. We stopped first at a hut on the side of the road and were shown how they make brown sugar, which was interesting. Then we were brought to an elephant/tiger farm, which was not in the description of the tour either. We were essentially forced to spend more money on an experience there. It also really did not feel safe. We then finally went to the floating market. The tour description says that the boat is included in the price, but it was not. We had to pay extra to actually get in the boat for the market. When I asked the tour guide what we actually paid for on Viator, he said transportation. That is NOT a tour!!! Very deceiving. You are also asked of any food allergies beforehand, insinuating that you will be given some food. But you are not. Again, you must pay extra. Nothing was included in this tour. Total sham

Absolute hell on earth. - Absolutely total rip off horrific toxic fume filled experience. If you want to spend the worst time of your life then waste your money on this. £40 for 1 hour on a diesel powered long boat trawling stenching canal water with people trying to sell you mass produced tourist trash...then barge your way through a diesel fumed long boat traffic jam for an hour...burning your eyes and swelling your tongue. A disgrace. TripAdvisor for health and safety reasons please do not promote this experience. There were families with young children crying and babies in arms with parents trying to protect thier young from the toxic hell... A disgrace to describe this experience anything but horrific.
