Route Details :
Travel from Bangkok in the early morning to Ratchaburi, an ancient town of the Dvaravati Period about 80 Kilometers west of Bangkok. Start your tour here along the banks of the Mae Klong River, traveling past numerous natural attractions and historical sites amidst clusters of typical Thai houses and lush fruit orchards. You enter Samut Songkhram as the Mae Klong River flows on towards the Gulf of Thailand and the lush greenery continues uninterrupted. Samut Songkhram is the site of Amphawa, the other garden of the Green Ring of Bangkok. Mixed Fruit orchards can be visited with the chance to pick your favorite fruit from the trees. The orchards are located along the river and canal waterways that form an extensive aquatic network. Enjoy a lunch of Amphawa recipes comprised of coconuts and freshwater fish cooked with Thai herbs. Relax after lunch by taking a boat trip along the canals and the Mae Klong River to Amphawa Floating Market and experience the authentic atmosphere of a river-based community by shopping and then staying overnight at a resort on the river. Next morning, transfer by van to Phetchaburi and ride between 40 and 60 kilometers along village roads through golden rice fields, farm villages, and fishing villages of the famous Hat Chao Samran. All along the route, typical Thai lifestyle can be observed and shared.
