First time, wow! 500 to 300 baths per person depending on whether the boat is powered by an engine or rower. However, the price is subjective. It depends on if you are a professional and can negotiate. There are many souvenir shops around. It is a popular place to shop and also a great spot for eating.

This price is much higher than the maeklong rail market. Maeklong is much more affordable for souvenirs. You can get coconut ice-cream for only 50 baht. Sticky rice (colourful sticky Rice) is available at 60 baht. You can also get a sketch drawing here for 150 baht.

) The scenery is wonderful, a pity about the motor boats that spoil that magic of rowing boats a bit. There is only one reason for a star beware of scams. Forget the tuk tuks or taxis. You can only get here through an agency or by taxi that doesn t play smart by taking you directly to the pedestrian part of the market. Be careful because they assu... see more

) This is a place I went to after applying for a half day tour through Monkey Travel. It s about an hour and a half from Bangkok, and it s Sunday, so it s relatively quiet, so it s nice to see it. When you buy something, you must make a purchase with 60 or more. 2500 baht elephant sculpture purchased for 1000 baht. It s like anything else (
