BKK 12 Damnoen Saduak FM + Train M + River Kwai + Lunch

BKK12               Full Day Damnoen Saduak FM + River Kwai + Lunch

Fist stop will be made in Maeklong Railway Market (train market). What makes the market special is that it occupies part of a train line. A few times a day, and before the train runs through the market, vendors lower their umbrellas and move some of their produce away from the train tracks and as soon as the train passes, the vendors move their goods back onto the tracks and continue as normal (until the next train arrives).

Visit Damnoen Saduak floating market, the most popular floating market in Thailand. A trip to this Thai phenomenon is like traveling back to the ancient times of the Siam Kingdom, where colorful clad merchants paddle along the narrow canals. Take a boat to see the traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables and other goods. Admire traditional Thai houses and the way locals use boats in their everyday lives.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant.

Drive to Kanchanaburi and visit Jeath War Museum. The museum is divided in two sections, one representing the construction of the Death Railway and the other consisting of reconstructed bamboo huts containing items such as paintings, drawings, photos, weapons, tools, or maps among others.

Last visit will be the bridge over the River Kwai, constructed during the World War II by the Japanese using the forced labor of hundreds of thousands of civilians from southeast Asia and prisoners of war from the Allies’ forces.
