Route Details :
Transfer from Bangkok to Samut Songkhram province in the early morning. Begin the trip along the scenic village roads of Amphawa District and Bang Khonthi District. You pass tropical fruit orchards, coconut plantations, villages, schools and temples along the way to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. You experience the chaos of the traditional floating market - small khlongs or canals are filled with flat boats piled high with fresh produce. Then, continue cycling to a canal - side restaurant at Amphawa District for lunch. Try the taste of Amphawa food recipes made from coconuts, local vegetables, herbs, and fresh water fish from the river. Relax after lunch by taking a boat tour along Amphawa canal and the Mae Klong River. Along the cruise, you can see children swimming in the canals, elders chatting with friends on a waterfront pavilion, or even kingfishers swooping across the bows of the boat. The boat trip stops at Amphawa Floating Market. At the market, there are many local shops all opening onto the canals with boardwalk access for cyclists and pedestrians. Old-style convenience stores full of basic necessities are situated right alongside coffee and khanom (dessert) shops selling cakes and sweets for which Amphawa is famous. Then, travel back to Bangkok by van or bus.
