Maeklong Train Market: Firmly off the tourist train, this vibrant local market dates back over 100 years.

Amphawa Floating Market: Located on the Amphawa canal, the Amphawa Floating Market is one of Thailand's more popular floating markets. View this riverside market and see vendors sell delicious treats like sweets and seafood, or browse some of the shops

While the fresh local produce, trinkets and souvenirs are worth browsing, the real attraction is the steam train that thunders through several times a day, sending market vendors scattering.

Wat Bang Kung: Hidden inside the roots of an ancient Banyan tree, this charming temple has Angkor Wat vibes for sure.

Once you make your way through the knotted roots to the shrine enclosed inside, you’ll find statues dedicated to the long-gone soldiers and generals who protected Thailand from the Burmese in the 1800s.

Firefly boat tour: We’ll finish the day on a real high as we board a riverboat for an early evening adventure. As the sun sets, you’ll start to spot shimmering fireflies hovering above the water. A truly magical way to spend a day!
