Per one customer who booked the In and Around Bangkok Private Tour Guide with Custom Experience, "This was the perfect way to end our visit to Bangkok. We asked Natty to show us things off the beaten path that weren't on other tours. This was a private tour, and we wanted to avoid the crowds. She did an amazing job."

The Tha Kha Floating Market operates on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, from around 6am–noon. Get there as early as possible to avoid the heat of the day and to find the freshest produce. Previously, the market only operated during the full moon and bustles with locals on those days.

At the Tha Kha Floating Market vendors sell their goods from boats and on dry land. You’ll see fruits and vegetables, including some you might not recognize, along with specialties such as grilled chicken skewers, fried oyster omelets, and coconut sugar. One thing you won’t find is souvenirs.
