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.

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

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.

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

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.

Amazing day out except they drop you off at a different site to where you r picked up with Klook 🌸🇻🇳

Half day trip to railway then to floating markets and fireflies at night boat ride Had best pad Thai off the boat near the bridge and plenty of choice in markets

Don't waste 4 hours drive, 3,000baht for boat that takes you around man made klong, passing exorbitant shops on river Bank that try to get you to spend £75 for a t shirt and copy sunglasses, which you can buy outside your hotel for about £4. What a waste of a day for Dougie and Jeanette and myself , absolute scheisse.

Great concept but that is the only good thing I can say about this market. Al items for sale were way exorbitantly overpriced and even at half the price they were charging. Most stalls sold the same sort of items. I would describe them as very expensive rubbish. The cost of 4000 bht was extremely expensive even in western terms. Would definitely NOT recommend this place.

Too far from Bangkok! 1.5 hour drive each way!! Then it’s in a nosy longboat, difficult to get in and out of, engine is smoky. The vendors pressure you to buy and it’s all bartering. Even for coffee! Drivers of the boats get kickbacks on your purchases, so they want to shop dearly.

We used Tour East for all of our airport transfers and tours during our honeymoon in Bangkok and they never let us down! For Bangkok, we had a full day trip courtesy of our guides Tum Tum and Mr Satong. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and spent all day with us taking us through the following itinerary: Damnoen Saduak Floating Market Coconut farm White Orchid riverside dinner cruise It was an early start from our hotel, around 7:30am but Mr Satong and Tum Tum made us feel at ease and gave us an overview of the history of Bangkok and the area. We visited the coconut farm and tried some of the coconut syrup and brough some of the usual souvenirs here, which were cheaper than at the market or surrounding stalls in centre of Bangkok. Tum Tum offered to take photos for us as we went through the tours. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market This was a nice guided tour of the floating market and about 1 hour outside of Bangkok, and we were fortunate to have good weather and not many tourists around when we visited. We were driven to the transfer boat and taken to the entrance of the floating market. After paying our entrance fee (1000 bht), we were then taken round the market by boat and the stall owners grabbed our boat with their hooks to draw us to their souvenir stalls. After our round trip of the floating market, we were returned by boat to the entrance of the floating market, where we could look at the stalls on land for 30 minutes or so. It's worth waiting for this, as we found better deals on gifts for our families here. Again, Tum Tum took as many photos as we asked for! We returned about 3pm to our hotel. White Orchid riverside dinner cruise - 2 hours We started at the mall by the riverside, and had some time to explore the shops whilst we waited for the boat. It was raining at this point but the river boat staff provide umbrellas to usher you onto the boat. The food wasn't the best, with it being a buffet and cold, however we had plenty of hot food to eat, and the entertainment on the boat was great. The atmosphere and audience participation made up for the shortcomings. As the evening went on, the rain stopped and we could explore the upper deck, to see the beautiful night view of the Chao Phraya river and the nightlife. Bless Tum Tum and Mr Satong, who at this point had been with use for nearly all day! They dropped us off back at the hotel and were still as friendly and enthusiastic as they had been all day! I highly recommend asking for Tum Tum to be your guide for your visit to Bangkok!

Not worth the money, cost $80 per person for boat, stalls all sold the same thing and were super expensive. Pair of pants you could get off the street in Bangkok for 150 baht was 1,200 baht at markets. Would not recommend this tour. The only thing I saw worth buying was they had amazing art work, but wouldn't fit in your suit case to take home. I didn't ask how much it was though.

Nice and unique place ti visit, a good trip for one day, tourists may visit the floating market and Maeklong railway market on a same day, as they are close to one another. The rates of tour operators at floating market are high, and a little bit scanning can also be faced.

This is a huge tourist scam. Was an exorbitant price for trip down a very ordinary canal. We were forced to stop at every stall and made to look at the same cheap rubbish all priced way over the top. Nothing authentic about the whole trip. Other people we met all agreed with us . An extremely disappointing outing. Huge tourist rip off.

I will not go again in the near future. Due to the pandemic, many stalls (boats) were not operating (in April 2022). The place was empty. And remember don't over pay for the boat ride (U$10 or less per pax).

Don’t go! Total ripoff. All of the markets are selling cheap garbage at inflated prices - at least 3 stores tried to sell me coconut bowls at 600 Baht when they are 100 Baat in the real shops. The boat drivers pull up at EVERY store and they try to force you into buying their wares. Say no. If you pay anything with a card they charge you up to 600 Baht which is total theft as the ATMs charge less than half this. All in all, a waste of time and gives the good, honest people of Bangkok a bad name.

This is a tourist trap. Be aware! Taxi drivers from Bangkok will offer you a day trip for about 1500 Bhat, but they won't take you to the main market. You will arrive to a tourist point were they will ask you to pay 2000-5000 Bhat. They will take you through the canals to tourists shops. You will just feel as their prisoner. We wasted half a day and there was nothing to see.

2 hours trip from Bangkok - you pay 4000bht for a boat and then on top you Can order all sorts of weird things - did the city of Long necks - just sad. In the boat you are trapped to look at all the stuff on your Way. The food was cheap and Nice

Tourist scam! Arrived there and it was 2500 baht EACH. May be better to book through a tour but honestly i wouldn’t even bother. Barely any of the markets were open and the ones that were all sold exactly the same items (the stuff you can find in every souvenir shop in Thailand). Waste of time and money. £60 wasted to float down a dirty river and then have to pay to buy things at a higher price than usual

We booked through Viator using Tour East Thailand. Tour was OK but the guide was not very helpful. Basically left us to wander the Market on our own. Found a coffee shop and had a coffee while watching the vendors on the canal. Also tried some mango and stcky rice - very good, but if you are concerned with hygene, they wash the fruit and their hands in the river.
