Itinerary
1
Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub)
45 minutes
Pick up from hotel in Bangkok center will be at 06:45 hrs.
Our first stop will be the amazing Mae Klong train market, one of the most unique markets in Thailand.
Imagine a train going straight through a public market! It is exciting and fun to watch the vendors in a rush to fold and remove their goods and umbrellas away from the railway track while the train is passing by.
On the way to market we will also make a short stop at the salt fields where people still make salt in a traditional way.
2
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
1 hour
After we visited the train market we continue to a boat pier where we board a typical Thai long-tail boat for a small ride through the canals before we reach the world famous floating market of Damnoen Saduak.
This market is a place bustling with activity, crowded with boats loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables from surrounding orchards.
3
Don Kai Dee Benjarong Village
30 minutes
After lunch (included) we visit the Bencharong porcelain factory. Bencharong is a traditional form of Thai ceramics, well-known for its multi-color hand-painted patterns. The history of Bencharong can be traced back to the times of the ancient Thai Kingdom of Ayutthaya (1351-1767) where it was used as household items and decorations exclusively by the Royal Court and nobility. The word Bencharong derives from the Sanskrit panch rang meaning 'five colors'.
4
Wat Bang Kung
30 minutes
Wat Bang Kung is famous for the small chapel that is completely enclosed within the roots of a banyan tree called Bot Prok Po. It is almost like the tree itself is the pillars of the temple and that without the roots the chapel would fall down.
