Description

Meet your private guide at the pre-arranged meeting point and take a taxi to the most authentic floating market in Bangkok. Upon arrival, stroll around the market for a few minutes before hopping aboard a private boat to navigate the canals and get a glimpse of the real Thai lifestyle. Listen to your host’s stories as you pass water lilies and their beautiful flowers. Discover the local food produce and crafts on sale as you soak up the atmosphere and taste bites the vendors will offer you. Purchase gifts for your friends back home, or simply indulge in all the food along the way. Sample fresh fruits en route to a lunch spot, where you will be served a 3-course menu, including the traditional street food of jang-lon (grilled, minced fish with curry paste), grilled chicken, papaya salad and an authentic coconut pudding. Then, check out the last part of the market with your private guide. Ask them for recommendations on how to get the best out of Bangkok for the rest of your stay, before heading back to the meeting point for the end of the tour services.
