Thanks Arnon for a wonderful tour of the floating markets and railway markets (which proved to be our favourite!). We were also surprised to learn about how coconut palm sugar is produced during our tour and to see it in its different stages of production. Arnon was punctual, polite, knowledgeable and easy to converse with because of his English proficiency. We also appreciated how generous Arnon was with his time, finishing the tour about 90 minutes later than anticipated.

I was late for the experience but the host Arnon was waiting for me to start. Appreciate for his patience. The experience was well prepared and organised. Members from different countries felt like old friends. For those traveling alone like me, this experience is quite valuable.

I went on this tour with Arnon. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and was very organized. The tour was smooth but didn't feel rushed. Arnon bought different street food items for our group to try and share. He was always willing to take pictures and happily answered any questions. I really enjoyed the day. The railway market was my favorite. It was incredible to see the market in full-form and then quickly close up for a huge train to chug through!

The Authentic Tha Kha Floating Market" It was a wonderful experience.Good drive to our first station Maklong train market, the following visit to Tha Kha Floating market and a super long neck boat trip. The visit to the coconut palm resort was super impressing. We saw wonderful things, had good background information from Arnon, could taste nice local specialities. We can fully recommend Arnon who is a very nice guy. He gave us some useful special information about restaurants and points of interest for our coming days in Bangkok.
