This tour provides a distinctive view of Thailand's renowned markets, starting with a visit to Ban Kalong Station. Nestled next to traditional salt farms, this station is your boarding point for a train journey straight into the heart of the Maeklong Railway Market. From this vantage point, you'll witness vendors skilfully retract their awnings just inches away from the passing train, offering a truly immersive experience.
Next on your itinerary is Wat Bang Kung, where an enormous Banyan tree's roots envelop and support an entire chapel. This chapel is home to a golden Buddha statue dating back to the Ayutthaya era. The temple grounds pay homage to Thai heritage, with statues showcasing ancient boxing stances and warriors.
Your evening culminates at the Amphawa Floating Market. Here, traders prepare fresh seafood on rowboats moored alongside the canal banks. You'll have the opportunity to explore vintage wooden architecture and sample local fruits such as pomelo.
