• T508: Kanchanaburi River Kwai and floating market

    • TOUR OVERVIEW Price from: 1,850 - 7,500 Baht

    Prepare for an early start, as this day combines all the sights, sounds and colors of the early morning floating market in Damnoen Saduak with a trip to the beautiful province of Kanchanaburi, where we will explore the city's highlights.

    TOUR DESCRIPTION

    This tour begins with a pickup from your Bangkok hotel so you can depart early in the morning for the vibrant market. An early start is important, as the drive to Damnoen Saduak takes just over an hour, and we don't want to miss the colorful boats of this morning market. On the way to Damnoen Saduak, we'll stop at the Mae Klong Train Market, where you can see the vendors' wares displayed right on the tracks of a still-operating railway line. Experience the fascinating spectacle as the scheduled train passes through the market! Before reaching Damnoen Saduak, we'll make a brief stop at a small, charming palm sugar factory. You can observe the sugar production process and sample the sweets made from it. In Damnoen Saduak, you'll board a privately chartered speedboat and cruise through the canals to the market, giving you a glimpse into authentic waterside life. We'll disembark at the market, and you'll then have time to explore on your own. Stroll along the canals, stopping boats and vendors as you please, or rent a pedal boat to experience the vibrant activity on the waterways up close. Continue to Kanchanaburi, where you will visit the Allied POW Cemetery and the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. Next, we will visit the Thailand-Burma Railway Centre with its excellent museum for those interested in the history and construction of the railway. Afterwards, there is an opportunity to take a boat trip and admire the river from a different perspective before returning to Bangkok. This day offers a wonderful opportunity to escape the city and experience the history and beautiful nature of Kanchanaburi Province, as well as the lively Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
