74 of 76 people found the following review helpful Accurate, even from a Thai point of view, August 21, 2000 By  "winyu" (Cambridge, MA, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Thailand (Paperback) As a Thai, I found this book surprisingly accurate to a certain degree. Even to some notorious aspects about Thailand, it provides some truthful information rather than worse-than-reality stuff for those potically correct issues. The graphics is amazing and precise in terms of Thai architecture (I'm an architect). Another compliment goes to some inside info e.g. shopping districts and local customs. I even decided to buy a copy myself even though it's my own country as a good intro to Thailand whenever my Ameican friends ask me to describe it which they usually do. I recommend this book for people who search for cultural aspect rather than hotels and restaurants. I'm using some books from this very series to travel in Europ too.

The only problem being that it is out of date! Having said that, I would not recommend it for your guide book if travelling to Thailand. Wait for an updated issue. I am well travelled in Thailand and some of the descriptions in the book make me feel like I was travelling in Thailand 20 years ago! Hope this helps...

A few oblique angle illustrations of some temple sites would be a welcome addition to any guide. However, as a source of useful information, it is a disappointment. It is short on hard facts and will undoubtedly be left at home when the trip begins. For an easy-to-use format with more meat I preferred Fodors. At the other extreme, with everything you could possible want to know, is Footprint. The latter, however, is not so user friendly.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

There are countless floating markets throughout the country, many within a couple of hours’ of the capital. The colorfully clad merchants at these lively markets paddle along congested canals in sturdy canoes laden with fresh fruit and vegetables to sell to shoppers on the banks. There is lots of chatter and activity – bargaining is common – that’s all part of the fun -- but don’t expect to get the price down more than a few baht.

The most famous of the floating markets is Damnoen Saduak, about 100 kilometers southwest of Bangkok. This buzzing market is at its best in the early morning before the crowds arrive and the heat of the day builds up. Our tour further includes a visit to Phra Pathom Chedi in Nakorn Pathom, supposedly the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia.
Time:

07:30 - 12:30
Includes:

- Air conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide
- Transportation from/to hotels in major areas of Bangkok
- Admission fee as mentioned on this program
- Insurance
Excludes:

- Personal expenses such as drinks, tips etc.
- Other service not mentioned on this program.

Tha Kha Floating Market

The Tha Kha Floating Market probably appears more authentic because it is visited by fewer tourists than its famous neighbour (up to 5,000 foreign tourists visit Damnoen Saduak a day!). As a result it is less built up, has a more natural surrounding and avoids some of the more commercial aspects of Damnoen Saduak (souvenir shops, etc.). The Tha Kha Floating Market takes place only 6 days a month and in accordance with the Thai lunar calendar.

Details: Tha Kha Floating Market is located 10 kilometres beyond the more famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. The best time to visit is around 07:00 in the morning. The market opens only at weekends between 06:00 and 12:00.

How to get there: Again, given the distance involved, a taxi is recommended and the total fare is likely to be around the 500 Baht (plus) mark for a return journey.

Take a bus to Samut Songkhram from the Southern Bus Terminal. From Samut Songkhram take a minibus to the market.
