Sobre esta atividade

Start your tour with hotel pickup in the morning, and relax during the drive to Chachoengsao Province outside of Bangkok. The first stop in your full-day itinerary is Klong Suan Market, in operation for a century. Get a nostalgic glimpse of Thailand’s past while you stroll past charming wooden shophouses selling vintage items and a variety of tasty foods.

After a Thai set lunch is served at a local restaurant, take a boat ride along the serene Bang Pakong River. Observe nature and the daily life of local residents who live in traditional stilt houses along the riverbanks.

Move on to Wat Po Bangkla, a peaceful temple known for golden-crowned flying foxes (fruit bats) that roost in the trees. Their high-pitched squawking is sure to be the first thing to grab your attention. Don't miss the largest reclining Ganesha in Thailand, situated at Wat Saman Rattanaram. Your guide will make a quick stop at Wat Paknam Jolo and its golden pavilion for 'making merit.' Learn about this Buddhist tradition before continuing to your final destination at Muban Nam Tan Sot village where you can taste fresh palm juice and palm seeds produced here.

Your tour concludes with transport back to your hotel in Bangkok.

This was a pleasant day outing to Chachoengsao province on the eastern fringes of Bangkok. The day had a variety of interesting experiences, although no standout must see attractions. The main focus was the Wat Saman Rattanaram temple complex with its huge pink reclining Ganesha. The whole complex was a set of boldly coloured statues and temples. Popular with locals, colourful, but a bit Disneyesque. Better was a nearby huge 30m high standing Ganesh statue at Klong Khuean park. Other stops included the historic Klong Suan market, aimed at locals not the over-priced Damnoen Saduak market aimed at tourists. A stop to view fruit bats was a bit of a busman’s holiday to Australians who see these everywhere. The Golden temple was quite attractive, even if the gold was paint, not real. Also included, a cruise on the Bang Pakong river and lunch overlooking the river. Overall, a pleasant diversion for a day waiting for a flight and we appreciated being picked up from our hotel near the airport rather than having to travel into the centre.

Khao Yai Always Smile and her team were amazing! They picked us up from the hotel on time, we were the only guests on the tour but they did have a team from the company to take photos of our trip. We got a personalized trip with a photographer who was taking photos for the trip. It was awesome. The guide was super helpful, really knowledgable and very kind. She taught us so much about the King and Queen and the history of Thailand. The best guide we had by far, even after 7 tours in 16 days. The tour itself is full of great sights, but the guide was great. The market is a little scary to a foreigner fearing food poisoning, but we did not get ill at all. The people were friendly and warm, inviting and happy to see tourists.
