- Maeklong Railway Market (Talad Rom Hub) - Known for its unique feature of a train passing directly through the bustling market, Maeklong Railway Market is a must-see attraction near Bangkok. Also referred to as Maeklong Train Market, it is renowned for the train that travels right through the center of the market. Vendors display their goods, primarily fruits, fish, and meat, up to the railway tracks and swiftly retract their umbrellas and awnings just before the train arrives. This synchronized routine is fascinating to witness. The market is also called Talad Rom Hub, meaning Umbrella-Closing Market, or Talat Siang Tai, which translates to Life-Risking Market.
- Wat Bang Kung - Situated near the Mae Khlong River, Wat Bang Kung is a historic temple dating back to the Ayutthaya kingdom. It served as a spiritual haven for soldiers stationed at the nearby naval fort. Within the temple grounds, there are statues of male Muay Thai fighters in pairs, demonstrating various fighting stances. Muay Thai, a traditional form of Thai boxing, played a crucial role in the Burmese-Siamese War and is deeply embedded in Thai history and culture.
-
Amphawa Floating Market - Amphawa is a charming floating market close to Bangkok, smaller than Damnoen Saduak but more authentic, primarily attracting Thai visitors. Established as a village since the 17th century, it has gained immense popularity among Bangkok residents on weekends, with food stalls extending from the riverbanks into adjacent streets. The highlight is undoubtedly the chance to savor seafood cooked on wooden boats moored near the iconic central bridge. These boats offer a delectable array of prawns, shellfish, and squid. From midday until late at night, the enticing aromas draw numerous patrons who gather along both sides of the river throughout the day.
Finally, the tour concludes with a safe return to your Bangkok City hotel at approximately 8 pm.
