Floating Market & Royal Phetchaburi – Private Day Tour

PRICES FROM 2850 THB PER PERSON

One of the highlights of the trip is the Floating Market. To reach the market, we sail by long-tailed boat through the canals. We float on the narrow canals between the small Thai houses. When we get there, it is swarmed with small boats filled with coconut pancakes, palm sugar, sun hats, souvenirs and much more. Buy exotic fruits that you never knew existed, like pomelo, rambutan and durian.
