Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Near Bangkok this is the largest remaining working floating market in Thailand. An unforgettable and highly recommended experience, at the market you will travel by long tail boat &/or paddleboat to visit the many varied stalls on and alongside the waterways and canals.


Fishing trip
An enjoyable and relaxing day leaving from the beach in Pattaya. The boat sails out of the bay and then stops for an hour or so to do some line fishing (no experience needed!) before continuing to an island. Whilst you swim around the boat, go onto the island, sunbathe or race about on a jet ski the skipper will barbecue your catch for you to eat. After more time for swimming you return to the beach, arriving at about 3pm.
