We first visited the salt mines, then took a train ride through the markets. It was amazing watching everyone wave inside of the shops while we traveled along. Then we walked back through the market and watched the train go past us! Next we visited a coconut farm, in which we learn so much. We also had the chance to buy coconut products from the farm itself. Next was the floating markets, this was…”

6.Ventura: Rail Bike Guided Tour with Farm Stand Stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 18 reviews · 2 hours

Ride a two-person pedal-powered rail bike from Santa Paula through citrus and avocado groves. Your English-speaking guide leads the way, with a stop at Prancer’s Farm for animals and local produce before you turn toward Fillmore and return.

“Half of the tour was going through the ghetto and the other half involved beautiful plantation and scenary. There was no music and the 1 stop to "reset" was just in a random remote area for 15 minutes with nothing to do. The amount of money for this short experience was a rip off however, I still enjoyed the experience for it was worth.”

Travel from Bangkok with a private English-speaking guide and vehicle to Maeklong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak.

We could choose and adapt our menu to our preferences, and Cat explained and demonstrated everything with great patience and knowledge. We learned a lot and took many ideas home to improve our cooking skills.”
