Unspoiled Outdoors - Thaka Floating Market & Erawan Falls

Why choose this Bangkok tour ?

What makes Unspoiled Outdoors – Thaka Floating Market & Erawan Falls a unique experience ?

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.

JEATH is an acronym for Japanese, English, American, Australian, Thai and Holland. The local museum has not been well-maintained over the years but was primarily constructed to give an insight into the atrocities of war so that all visitors are taught that war must never happen again

Allied prisoners of war during World War II were forced to build the 258-mile Death Railway by Japanese forces. About a hundred thousand conscripted Asian labourers and 16,000 prisoners of war died on the whole project.

The 12th National Park in Thailand with the main feature being a 7-tiered waterfall with emerald green ponds.
