Begin your day with a visit to the Maeklong Railway Market, a unique market held on the rail tracks. Watch as stallholders pull back their awnings and remove their produce just before the train arrives, only to repeat the process when it returns.
Next, head to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand’s most famous floating market. See vendors in small paddle boats, wearing characteristic straw hats, selling foodstuffs from surrounding farms and household items.
Enjoy a private rowing boat ride along the floating market and local canal life. Taste tropical fruits like young coconut, rambutan, mango, durian, and mangosteen.
Visit Wat Sam Phran, also known as the Dragon Temple. Admire its 17-story tall pink cylindrical building with a gigantic red-and-green dragon sculpture curling around the entire height. Learn about the symbolism of the dragon, representing a human's journey from sorrow to happiness and from hell to heaven.
End your day with a taste of Thai iced tea at After the Rain Coffee & Gallery.
