Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & River Kawai Day Trip
Day Trip Details
First, we'll make our way to the west of Bangkok and, after a 1.5-hour journey, we'll reach the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, the most famous one in Thailand.
Once we reach this special spot, we'll go on a boat ride through Damnoen Saduak. Along this 30-minute ride, we'll see various stalls selling vegetables, exotic fruit spices, and other local products.
After visiting the market, we'll continue the day trip by driving to the municipality of Kanchanaburi, which features the emblematic bridge on the River Kwai. This bridge became famous because of the 1957 film of the same name, based on events from World War II when the Japanese forced local prisoners to build a route between Thailand and Burma—the so-called Death Railway. Part of the train's journey passed precisely over the River Kwai.
We'll then have a traditional Thai lunch in the bridge's surroundings. After lunch, we'll visit the JEATH War Museum, where we'll learn about the history of the construction of the Death Railway between 1942 and 1943.
Once the museum visit has come to an end, we'll go to ThamKra Sae Station, where we'll travel on this significant railway. Onboard a train, we'll go on a 1.5-hour journey along the River Kwai and learn interesting facts about the train. Our train trip will end at Tha Kilen Station, where a vehicle will be waiting for us to take us back to the starting point in Bangkok.
