Itinerary

After pick-up from your hotel at 8:00 AM, you will be driven to Khlong Lat Mayom floating market. This small market is a great place to stroll around and sample delicious Thai street food dishes. Although not many vendors sell things from their boats, the fantastic market on land right next to the water makes up for it. This charming market will give you a taste of local life, as nearly no tourists come here. You will leave Khlong Lat Mayom at about 11.00 AM to visit Or Tor Kor market, known for its premium fresh fruit, vegetables and food. The Or Tor Kor market is packed with perfect produce, and is full of exotic fruits and vegetables that are unique to Thailand, as well as imported specialties from around Asia. Customers also shop here for seafood, sweets and cooked foods. The market offers a wide selection of prepared curry pastes and spices for you to take back home, and there is a food court filled with Thai specialties. The last stop will be at Chatuchak Weekend Market. With more than 15,000 retailers in 27 sections, this market is the largest weekend market in the world. Enjoy the fun of bargaining as you browse the incredible variety of merchandise on offer, from the latest fashion items and vintage decor, to Thai crafts and wooden tables. Although the market officially opens at 7:00 AM, shoppers usually go in the afternoon when the weather is cooler. After finishing your shopping, you will be driven back to your hotel at around 4:00 PM.

We had such an amazing time! Our tour guide was fantastic and was passionate about her job and teaching us about the local foods. Our driver was great as well and both were very professional and alway (Read More)s on time. We enjoyed the boat and all our stops along the way including the orchid farm and walking around several markets. We would highly recommend this tour as it exceeded our expectations. We learned about different foods and were given suggestions on what to try, and also were able to learn more about Thai culture along the way. We had plenty of time to explore the markets and shop - we never felt rushed. Would highly recommend!

The tour was finished after 6 hours. In addition to the tourist boats, there were only about 10 market boats on the floating market. Goes on a longtail boat through the Klongs (not very worth seeing) (Read More)and visits to a monastery and an orchid farm. Then to the foodmarket Or Tor Kor, clean and worth seeing. Then to Chatuchak market. There is everything your heart desires, lots of trinkets and clothes. The street food market is very clean and the food was delicious.

The first part was great, the markets directly in Bangkok are better done alone. A good driving service for 6 hours instead of the specified 8 hours, but too expensive.

My guide “Lin” was excellent, her knowledge, and generosity highly appreciated. The lat mayom market was lovely and had kept the local feeling, as there was not many tourists around this early in the (Read More)morning. Lin knows the Chatuchak market like her back pocket, and it was very helpful to have her help in navigating through all the alleys.

I loved my guide Yui! It was a lovely day and she made it special by sharing with me her favorites and recommendations at both markets. The only thing I think could’ve been improved is if there was a (Read More)bit more “touring” involved ie maybe some explaining of the history in certain areas and such.

After having visited Amphawa floating market the day before, I found Lak Mayom floating market more intimate and truly authentic. Perhaps because it was less crowded that Sunday (March 2nd). The tour (Read More)on long tail is relaxing and you can see true thaï life. A stop at an orchid farm takes flower lovers to heaven! Duï our guide was friendly and informative in many ways. Thank you Duï
