Build a trip to Bangkok
A day trip from Bangkok to Thailand's most famous floating market reveals the traditional way of river life that has sustained the communities of the central plains for centuries, with wooden boats laden with tropical fruits, vegetables, cooked noodle dishes, and colorful garlands of jasmine paddled by vendors in wide-brimmed hats along narrow khlong canals. The early morning fog adds an atmospheric quality to the proceedings as longtail boats negotiate the busy waterways between market boats, passing wooden stilt houses and orchid farms that line the canal banks. Combined with a visit to the ancient capital of Ayutthaya and the salt farms of Samut Songkhram, this tour provides an essential glimpse of rural Thai life beyond Bangkok.
