Overview

Begin your journey with a smooth pickup at Klong Toei or Laem Chabang Port, both commonly known as “Bangkok Port.” Our guide and driver will be waiting at the terminal exit. Head through the countryside to the Mae Klong Railway Market, where vendors quickly fold their stalls as the train passes by. Continue to Wat Bang Kung, a centuries-old temple wrapped in banyan roots. In the afternoon, explore the Amphawa Floating Market, full of local food and riverside charm. As night falls, enjoy a serene boat ride through quiet canals, where thousands of fireflies light up the trees. After this magical experience, relax on the return ride to Klong Toei or Laem Chabang Port in time to rejoin your cruise.
