What To Expect

Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub)

After having enjoyed breakfast at your hotel, it is time to meet your guide at the hotel lobby for a long day out. Together with your dedicated driver, you will make your way in southwestern direction and onto the Samut Songkram province. Depending on traffic, you will reach the famous Mae Klong Railway Market after driving for approximately one hour.
Positioned on the railway tracks ahead, one will see the vendors frantically packing away their stalls as the train slowly approaches at around 11 am, and then once your train has gone through, the vendors setting up their stalls once again on the tracks and reoccupy the iron rails again. The mechanisms included in this daily routine are not only a fabulous sight to admire; it also gives you little time to snap away some images before the train comes to a complete stop.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Klong Kone Mangrove Forest

We board the local train for a short ride before meeting your driver at Lad Yai and continue drive to Klong Kone for lunch. The afternoon is spent in exploring the mangrove forests off into the rural side of Samut Songkram by traditional long tail boat. This is the territory where you will see cockle, mussel and oysters farmers ‘tending to their crop’.

1 hours • Admission Ticket Free

Amphawa

Amphawa is a small riverside town located in Samut Songkram, about 90 minutes south of Bangkok. It is beautiful and atmospheric, full of wooden shop houses, narrow walkways, arched bridges, and has a small floating market that flourishes during the weekend and makes for a fabulous ending of a packed day of being engulfed in the traditional side of Thailand. Spend the late afternoon and early evening enjoying and exploring Amphawa, and watching the boats come in for the floating market in the late afternoon.

In the early evening go back to Bangkok by road and expect to arrive back at your hotel at around 8:30 pm.
