What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Tha Kha Floating Market

   There a number of floating markets all throughout Thailand and Thaka is one of the more authentic, although English signs in the vendors boats are appearing advertising what they are selling. That said, a visit here is still a worthwhile experience. However, they still aim to sell more to locals, so the prices are really cheap. Have some of the amazing fried bananas or coconut ice cream with a variety of colourful toppings. Be prepared to barter for your purchases.

2. JEATH War Museum
