Tha Kha Floating Market
Thaka Floating Market is in Tambon Thaka. It is a floating market where the local lifestyle is still well-conserved. The locals do farming and agricultural work for a living and bring their vegetables and fruits such as chilis, onions, coconut sugars, guavas, cononuts, rose apples, and pomelo to exchange and sell at the floating market in their boats.

Great experience
Really nice experience, the first market pretty authentic, great food. The staff was nice and we got a lot of information about the market and about Thailand.

Worthwhile but overpriced
The tour itself was worthwhile. Visited a “typical” Thai village house which was interesting until the horde of tourist buses arrived. The floating market at Thaka is a modest affair but thoroughly worthwhile. We boated past the market and through the local canals. We deliberately chose this tour as it promised to be less touristy and in terms of the markets, it delivered. The downside is that we spent an hour+ in each direction in the vehicle travelling. Whilst we enjoyed the tour and our guide was engaging and funny, we felt it was overpriced. Our guide made the day enjoyable and one hopes that she receives a good proportion of the fee, but sadly, I suspect not.

Floating Markets/Coconut Farm
Very attentive guide. I think her name was Beer. She went out of her way to take care of a sick traveler on the tour & I was so impressed of the professionalism she displayed. The coconut farm was an enjoyable stop, the longboat ride to the floating markets was wonderful, and the floating markets is a must do if you're in Bangkok. I would not hesitate to tour with this company in the future. The only criticism I would give is that the van used for transport needs an emissions inspection because I smelt fumes in the van the entire transport.

A total change of scenery!
I had a great guide: Sara, she has a lot of historical knowledge but also a lot of humor all of a sudden it makes the visit very attractive and dynamic. Having some difficulty moving around Sara adapted to me, and I found it very appreciative. I was delighted by this excursion, I recommended it.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bangkok.
How much does From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market cost?
+
Prices start at $3500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bangkok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bangkok is not rushed.
Is From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bangkok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bangkok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bangkok and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Bangkok : Thaka Floating Market start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bangkok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bangkok?
+
On Outty we rank every Bangkok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bangkok Backstreets Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Old Siam Bangkok Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Tingly Thai Cooking Class with Morning Market Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bangkok?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bangkok?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
