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.

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.
