Day 6 : Bangkok
Daytime sightseeing tour of Mae Klong Railway Market and Damnoen Saduak Floating Market (depart hotel at 06:45), return in the afternoon for some rest and then evening sightseeing tour of Asiatique The Riverfront market (depart hotel at 18:00 & depart market at 21:00).
Today you have your busiest day ahead!
As you progress into the tail end of your holiday today you will visit Mae Klong Railway Market on the outskirts of Bangkok where an active train line precariously cuts through the market where traders lay out their stalls on the track itself!
Your excursion will be timed to align with when a train passes through the market so that you can witness this surreal spectacle whereby stall holders remove their stalls at the very last minute.
After this you will whisked off to one of Bangkok’s many famous floating markets Damnoen Saduak Floating Market.
Your evening will consist of a visit to the recently established market Asiatique The Riverfront which as the name suggests is right on the river.
Here you will have the chance to unwind and regale in its carnival like atmosphere.

Day 7 : Bangkok
Morning at leisure and afternoon/evening sightseeing tour of Changchui Creative Park (depart hotel at 16:00 & depart market at 20:00).
This afternoon you will be taken to the last of our hidden gems Changchui Creative Park on the rarely visited “Thonburi side” on the other side of the river (Bangkok is divided by the river into the “Bangkok side” which is where tourists spend most if not all of their time and the off the radar “Thonburi side”) where you will mingle with local Bangkokians going about their daily lives (it will be very hard to miss the real Lockheed L-1011 Tristar aircraft that forms the centrepiece of the market!).
An interesting fact about markets in Thailand is that they sometimes become the resting place of decommissioned aircraft which are carefully repurposed as, for example, a fine dining luxury restaurant as is the case here at Changchui Creative Park – we can make a reservation for you for this unique experience.
B
Day 8 : Bangkok
Morning sightseeing tour of Taling Chan Floating Market (depart hotel at 07:30 & depart market at 11:00) and rest of the day at leisure.
The final market is one of Bangkok’s many famous floating markets Taling Chan Floating Market and is a final chance for you to pick up some souvenirs for your loved ones before you fly back home the next day.

What our clients say
J Armstrong - India Tour April 2019 - researching her ancestors in IndiaWe were very pleased with the organisation of our visit to Kamptee. With such short notice, you did a great job getting the contacts with the gentleman, Father Sebasti who in turn made contact with Noel Joseph and in turn George Taj. We were thrilled that our guide Irfan and driver Mr Singh, rearranged our afternoon so that we could wait till Noel could return…
