• Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub) - We visit the famous Mae Klong train market (Talat Rom Hup). Imagine a train going straight through a public market!

The Mae Klong Railway Market has been around since 1905. Fishing was (and still is) one of the main livelihoods of the people who lived here, and the market was another way in which to sell their goods. Officials decided to build a railway in order to better deliver these goods to other provinces. The market remained, however, despite the new tracks that cut through it.

It takes approximately 1–1.5 hours to arrive at the destination, depending on the traffic.

• Wat Bang Kung - We also visit Wat Bang Kung, famous for its small chapel that is completely enclosed within the roots of a banyan tree called Bot Prok Po. It is almost like the tree itself is the pillar of the temple, and without the roots, the chapel would fall down. You can also go inside to pay respect to the Buddha image.
• Amphawa Floating Market - This once-small village has been around since the mid-17th century and back in the day, the agricultural community of Amphawa used the river as their daily trading hub. Many wooden houses were built along this river to make it easier for the people to trade and transport by boat.

Along the canal are countless wooden restaurants; some vendors cook and sell food from their boats. If you’re a foodie, this is the place to be! There is a wide choice of snacks, street food, seafood, sweets, and desserts, as well as fresh fruit.

Of course, your visit to Amphawa is not complete without a boat trip, so of course we board one of the boats for a trip on the canals, and hopefully we spot some of the large population of fireflies that live in the trees on the canal banks!

Then we head back to Bangkok, where it takes approximately 1–1.5 hours to arrive at the destination, depending on the traffic.
