(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
Our day begins with an approx. 90-minute drive to the coast south-west of Bangkok. On the way we drive past traditional sea salt manufactory - here sea salt is produced by natural drying outdoors. Then it's off to one of the largest and arguably most extraordinary seafood markets in Thailand! Experience from two perspectives how the railway market and the train share the common space on the tracks in a spectacular way: first you take the train to the station, then you watch the train exit from the track. You will be amazed at how routine chaos can be!
Coconut Sugar Farm
(Departure earlier than 6.45am only) Here you can experience how coconut nectar is produced by Thai farmers. Learn all the steps from cutting the coconut flower to pouring the nectar into a bamboo container to boiling and pasteurizing the nectar.
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
The markets in Thailand are among the most important experiences in the country. They give you a vivid insight into the traditional culture of a country that often lives on and from the water. The bustle of the many small trader boats has been admired here for over 100 years! There is mainly fresh Thai fruit and vegetables, but also ready-made dishes such as mango with sticky rice, coconut ice cream or the typical boat noodles.
