Highlights
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.

About Bangkok
Bangkok is Thailand's exuberant capital, where gilded temples and royal palaces line the river amid street-food stalls, markets and skyscrapers.
The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home of the revered Emerald Buddha, glitter on the old royal island of Rattanakosin. Next door, Wat Pho shelters a giant reclining Buddha and a famous school of Thai massage, and across the Chao Phraya River the porcelain-studded spires of Wat Arun glow at sunset.
Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
