Easy

Join our tour to experience the lively floating & railway markets, the serene coconut farms and Mangrove Conservatory

Embark on a captivating one-day tour exploring Thailand's iconic floating and railway markets and local communities. Start at a salt farm, where our guide explains the salt-making process. At the railway market, witness the unique "Unseen-Thailand" scenes as vendors swiftly retract their umbrellas when the train passes. Enjoy a boat ride at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, navigating this famous marketplace. Conclude with a visit to a coconut farm to learn traditional methods of boiling coconut sugar and making sugar loaves.

For those choosing the expanded tour, you will visit the Mangrove Forest Conservation Center. Glide through tranquil waters, admire lush mangrove forests, and observe local conservation efforts. If conditions permit, you might even plant a mangrove tree yourself. Witness traditional clam digging by locals and enjoy feeding monkeys from a safe distance using floating jicama from the boat. The monkeys won't touch you in this picturesque environment.
