How to visit the floating market without an excursion in Bangkok?
It seems that a lot of local travel agencies offers an excursion to the floating market that includes a visit to the tiger temple and other sighseeings. I'm only interested in going to the floating market. How to go there from Khao San? And which is the opening and closing time for this market? In the Wikitravel entry recommends to go to the Taling Chan Floating Market, is the same? or should I try to stay a weekend to enjoy this "at least somewhat authentic rural market"?
