Description
Explore the Maeklong Railway Market, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Khao Bin Cave, and Nang Yai Wat Khanon National Museum on a guided tour.
Begin your day with a visit to the Maeklong Railway Market, a unique market held right on the rail tracks. Watch as stallholders pull back their awnings and remove their produce from the tracks just before the train arrives. Experience the excitement as the train passes through, and the market returns to normal.
Next, head to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand’s most famous floating market. Board a private rowing boat and glide along the canals, passing vendors in small paddle boats wearing characteristic straw hats. Taste tropical fruits like young coconut, rambutan, mango, durian, and mangosteen as you soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
Continue to the Khao Bin Cave, a stunning cave located in a national forest reserve in Ratchaburi Province. Marvel at the natural beauty of the cave, considered one of the most beautiful in the region.
Finally, visit the Nang Yai Wat Khanon National Museum, a significant cultural heritage site dedicated to the traditional Thai art of "Nang Yai" or giant shadow puppetry. Learn about this art form, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
