Activity itinerary

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Transfer from your hotel in Bangkok downtown to the floating market takes 1 hour and 45 minutes. The Floating Market of Damnoen Saduak is among one of the most attractive floating markets in Thailand. Motor boat rides are already included in your tour! Many Thai and foreign tourists come here to absorb the atmosphere of Thailand water markets that have been like this for over a 100 years. At this floating market, you can try a number of delicious Thai fruits and foods such as sweet mango on sticky rice, freshly-made coconut icecream, and Thai-style boat noodle.
Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub)
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Railway Market is humorously called as the “life-risking” market! You will have fun riding a local train toward the Mae Klong station. While on this train, you will see the “Unseen-Thailand” experience. When the train signal rings up, the chaos will happen! Vendors will rush to detract their stall and clear away all goods that obstructs the running train at a great speed. Once the train passes, all shop owners will resume their stalls again.
Samut Sakhon
  • 15m
The whitish salt field, not a rice field, of course. A special bonus tour for our guests who join our floating and railway market tour in 2020. This sea salt is produced by Thai local wisdom. The salt farmer will rotate the sea water in different levels matching the strength of wind and sunlight. The rotation will continue until the salt becomes a “salt mountain” which are ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture. On the Highway 35 in Samut Sakhorn province, our guide will lead you to rub the salt to your hand and take amazing photos!
Coconut Sugar Farm
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
You will observe how Thai farmers produce coconut nectar and palm sugar loaf. You will see a demonstration of coconut flower cutting, pouring the nectar into a bamboo container, putting preservation woods in the container, boiling up and pasteurizing the coconut nectar into the drinkable one. You will try squeezing coconut milk from coconut shell using a traditional Thai “rabbit-teeth” wooden machine.
Mangrove Forest Conservation Center
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Experience the refreshing air and lush greenery at the Mangrove Forest Conservation Center, a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of mangrove forests and water sources. This center offers both locals and tourists the unique opportunity to actively participate in preserving these vital natural habitats for wildlife, contributing to their restoration and abundance. At the center, knowledgeable staff provide valuable insights and guidance on mangrove planting techniques. You will gain a firsthand understanding of how mangroves serve as natural filters, trapping pollutants and sediments, thereby playing a crucial role in maintaining environmental quality. As you explore, you'll discover the diverse species of flora and fauna that flourish within these ecosystems. This experience underscores the importance of preserving biodiversity to sustain ecosystem balance and resilience.
Ban Khlong Phon Mangrove Forest Planting Activity
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Join us for an unforgettable journey through the Mangrove Forest Conservation Center, where you'll immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the local community.
