Not a real floating market.
anandaraju_s, Jan 2024
4 stars because, This is not a real floating market. It is physical ground based market with canals for show. Unfortunately our guide did not know good English. You only go to the boat for the evening firefly visit, which is amazing. If you want to go the real floating market explore, other tour options. Communication from the tour company was very prompt.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Sawadee kha, Thank you for your feedback and 4-star rating, very much appreciated. There are a lot of so-called 'floating markets' in Thailand. In Thai they are called 'talaat nam' which is literally translated as 'water market' but often gets translated as 'floating market' However, many of these markets are markets along a canal, Amphawa being one of them. Hope to see you again some day!
Great tour!
Rebecca_G, Nov 2023
This was a great tour! We had Piye as our tour guide and he was fantastic. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and went out of his way to make the tour a great time. We would definitely recommend! You get to see a lot on this tour and this boat ride + fireflys were a highlight! :)

Great tour! Nok was great.
David_S, Nov 2023
Nok was a great tour leader. She was very knowledgeable and caring. Explained the history and showed us where to eat and also meet. Was very well timed, we arrive in time to see the train pass through and the floating market was great.
