Pick up at 07:00. Travel away from Bangkok’s city center for a visit to local markets and countryside neighborhoods. Take a one-hour drive, leaving the high-rises behind and entering a land of lush landscapes and traditional wooden houses.

Stop at a local railway station where a bustling country market has sprouted up along the tracks. As a train pulls into the station, witness the vendors quickly clearing their stalls off the railway. Then, after the train departs, watch them set up shop and resume business as usual.

From here, continue to the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Although these days the stalls mostly sell items for tourists, Damnoen Saduak remains the best example of a traditional floating market. Take a stroll around and admire the floating shops, many of which sell fresh fruits and typical Thai snacks. For visits falling on a Saturday or Sunday, there is an option to visit the less touristy Tha Kha Floating Market.

Leave the main market area and take a relaxing paddle boat ride. Pass by an old section of the floating market and enter a labyrinth of quiet canals. See houses built alongside the waterways and catch glimpses of local life in this rural Thai province.

Following this insightful exploration of the countryside, return to Bangkok’s modern city Centre.
