Itinerary
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
This floating market has operated for over 100 years. The tour includes a motorboat ride here. Visitors can observe traditional Thai water market activities and sample local fruits and foods such as sweet mango on sticky rice, freshly made coconut ice cream, and Thai-style boat noodles.
90 min
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
Known as the “life-risking” market, this stop includes a local train ride to Mae Klong station. When the train approaches, vendors rapidly fold up their stalls and remove goods from the tracks. After the train passes, the market quickly returns to normal.
90 min
Coconut Sugar Farm
Near Damnoen Saduak, this farm demonstrates how coconut nectar is made. The process includes cutting coconut flowers, collecting nectar into bamboo containers, preserving it with wood, and boiling and pasteurizing it to produce the final drink.
20 min
Samut Sakhon
This stop shows how Thai salt farmers produce sea salt by rotating seawater through different evaporation stages using wind and sunlight. The salt crystallizes into mountains ready for cooking, skincare, and agriculture. Guests can touch the salt and take photos along Highway 35 in Samut Sakhon province.
15 min
Erawan Waterfalls
Erawan Waterfall has seven tiers stretching about 1,500 meters through rainforest. The top tier resembles the head of Erawan, a three-headed white elephant from Hindu mythology. Visitors hike for about three hours, swim in emerald ponds, and explore the park. Admission fees for foreigners are included.
180 min
River Khwae Bridge
Famous from films and books, the black iron bridge has steel plates for easy walking and viewing platforms between trestles for river views and to avoid trains. The tour includes lunch at a nearby raft restaurant. The area offers scenic views and photo opportunities, especially near sunset.
