22 December, 2012 at 1:20 pmHow did you find the floating market? I spent almost two months in BKK and around, but never actually went to see the place. I heard you must be there early in the morning to get the full experience.

22 December, 2012 at 7:27 pmHi Juha
We went with Rat – a private tour operator. She is contactable at rat_bkk@hotmail.com – just tell her you heard of her service from PassportChop
If you are just going to the floating market, you need not be up too early – i think we left Bangkok at about 9am. However I would recommend you to combine the tour with the Train Market (then you will need to leave earlier). Both the Floating and Train market provides lots of photo opportunities. See this for more info: http://www.passportchop.com/asia/thailand/maeklong-railway-market/

22 December, 2012 at 9:51 pmCool, thanks for the info. I definitely must go back to Thailand one of these days. Still so much left to see. But i actually never go with a tour. I find my own way, it’s much more slow of course, but i schedule enough time for everything. Travel slow 🙂 The train market looks kind of interesting 🙂

23 December, 2012 at 11:07 amHi Juha – I am not a big fan of tours too. However public transport to the floating market and train market is not easy to arrange especially if you dont know Thai – thus I highly recommend that you take a local tour out to these places for convenience; Rat’s tour is a private tour so it is as good as hiring a taxi to these places – there is also no rush; you pay for the number of hours you use her tour services (as well as gasoline and expressway tolls).
