Full-Day Tour
OVERVIEW
06.45-07.00 Early in the morning. Leave Bangkok and we drive south of Bangkok for 83 kms (around 1.20hrs) for the Train Market. Make stops along the way to visit salt fields and chat with salt workers in Samut Songkhram and to experience the interesting Mae Klong Railway Market which has the train tracks running right through with canopies quickly shut and stuffs are moved in whenever the train passing by. This place is full of locally grown fruits, freshly caught seafood, dried spices, peppers, and other local foods.
Here, you will witness the dexterity and speed of the vendors as they quickly pack their stalls away whenever the trains approach, hence bringing shopping to
a brief halt. It is a standard practice and stall holders have learnt the art of assembling and reassembling their wares at a moment’s notice!
Then we will visit Damnoensaduak Floating Market. Arrive the pier, then enjoy the scenery of rural life by long tail speed boat to the floating market. Arrive at Damnoen saduak Floating Market; almost untouched by the modern world you will enjoy watching the farmers selling food, fruits, flowers and many kind of local products in their boats.
(Paddle boat are optional)
Lunch at local restaurant then back to Bangkok center and late afternoon you spend some time visiting the Jim Thompson Museum dedicated to James H.W. Thompson, the founder of the world-renowned Jim Thompson Thai Silk Company known as the “Legendary American of Thailand”. For his contribution to the development of the Thai Silk industry, Jim Thompson was awarded the Order of the White Elephant, a decoration bestowed upon foreigners for having rendered exceptional service to Thailand. In 1967, he went on holiday with friends to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia, set out for a walk in the surrounding jungle but never returned, thus began the Jim Thompson legend. The remainder of the day is at your leisure.
