Railway and floatingmarkets

Bahar_F, Dec 2025

Very interesting experience with markets on the water and railway. My children had an amazing time with the sights. In general in Thailand, our experience with tour guides’ English and accents can be difficult for us, but overall a great experience!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

I would not recommend the floating markets for anyone who loves or respects animals!

Yasmin_N, Feb 2025

The railway markets were a sight to be seen but it was all very rushed and the salt farm prior was quite uninteresting. My main issue was with the floating market though. It was so crammed full of tourist boats that it was difficult to get through and there was no chance to see what the market was really like, let alone buy anything. The worst thing however were firstly the snakes which people try to throw over your shoulder so that you will pay for a photo, there were so many of them in cages throughout and I’m sure they were either drugged and/or had there fangs removed. I almost cried when amidst all the noise, crowds, confusion and chaos, I saw someone holding a terrified little slow loris for people to take photos with. I’m sure it was not the only exotic animal there and they would all be equally as terrified, snakes included and it is for this reason that I would never recommend that anyone go there and especially anyone who has any love or respect for animals

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Dear Ms. Yasmin, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re pleased to hear that you found the railway market visually impressive. However, we’re sorry that the floating market felt too crowded, the railway market a bit rushed, and the salt farm didn’t quite meet your expectations. We also appreciate you sharing your concerns about the animal exhibits at the floating market. While this is not part of our tour itinerary or activities, we understand your concerns and will inform our guides to avoid bringing future guests near those areas. We value your perspective and always consider feedback as we work to improve our tours. Thank you again for your thoughtful insights. We truly appreciate your time and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Sincerely, Supakorn T. Thailand Insight Travel
