We travel to the provinces of Samut Songkhram and Ratchaburi, about 100 km from Bangkok. Our first stop is the Maeklong Railway Market, also known as Hoop Rom Market or Siang Tai Market (“life-risking market”). This unique market is located directly on a railway track, and the vendors quickly move their stalls whenever a train passes through.

Next, we visit the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. After a 30-minute long-tail boat ride through narrow canals, we reach this iconic floating market, where vendors sell fresh produce, street food, and souvenirs from wooden boats.

Day 3

DAY 3 - BANGKOK - KANCHANABURI, River Kwai: War Museum, Allied Cemetery, Train Riding, Prasat Muang Singh. (L.)

Departure on a private basis at around 6:30 AM. At 6:30 AM, meet your guide and depart for Kanchanaburi, arriving at around 9:30 AM. Start the visits. Kanchanaburi is a city in western Thailand, famous for the death railway built during World War II. The line crosses the Khwae Yai River via the Death Railway Bridge. Exhibits at the JEATH War Museum honor the prisoners of war who died building the bridge. The Thailand-Burma Railway Center explores the wider history of the railway. Nearby, thousands of Allied soldiers are buried in the Kanchanaburi War Cemetery. At 10:45 AM, board the train for a scenic ride to Tham Krasae. Stop for lunch and time to visit the area with the Tham Krasae Bridge next to the cave of the same name. In this area, the train slows to a crawl as it crosses the precarious-looking Wang Pho viaduct. A wall of rock towers is a short distance to the right, with a sheer drop to the river and phenomenal views to the left, another highlight of the journey. After lunch, visit the Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park, where traces of the once-flourishing Khmer Kingdom can be found in one of Thailand's most well-known religious structures. Historians estimate that Prasat Mueang Singh and its surrounding architectures on the banks of the Kwai Noi River were built between 857 and 1157 as a religious temple of the Khmer Kingdom. Later, the temple was abandoned until the reign of King Rama I when the Mueang Singh area became one of Kanchanaburi's border cities. Restoration of the structures, however, was not completed until 1987. The main remaining structure is Prasat Mueang Sing itself (the Lion City Tower), an architecture in Khmer style with influences from Lop Buri arts. It is framed by city walls measuring 800 x 1,500 meters. During excavations, historians found valuable artifacts, antiques, ceramics, and religious ornaments with over 2000 years of history. At around 3:00 PM, transfer to the hotel. Check-in. The rest of the evening is at your disposal.
