5.00Shoutout to Pi Ploy for taking care of every single tourist in the bus, she was awesome! Floating market is the highlight of the trip, driver of the boat made it fun and made it like Fast and Furios LOL! Prices are expensive tho for souvenirs. Not so crowded on a Sunday either. Everyone was smiling and nice which is really nice.

5.00Plo and Toto were very friendly and professional tour guides. The floating market was fun and no pressure to purchase anything thing from the merchants, like with other tours. Toto even warned the group about the floating market being more expensive.
