Full-Day Provincial Discovery Tour from Bangkok

Bangkok, Thailand

Leave bustling Bangkok for a day trip to nearby Chachoengsao Province and explore its notable temples and markets with your guide. See the reclining statue of Lord Ganesha, visit a traditional food market at Klong Suan, cruise down the Bang Pakong River, and visit a village involved in palm sap production. A Thai set lunch and hotel transport are provided.

Start your tour with hotel pickup in the morning, and relax during the drive to Chachoengsao Province outside of Bangkok. The first stop in your full-day itinerary is Klong Suan Market, in operation for a century. Get a nostalgic glimpse of Thailand’s past while you stroll past charming wooden shophouses selling vintage items and a variety of tasty foods.

After a Thai set lunch is served at a local restaurant, take a boat ride along the serene Bang Pakong River. Observe nature and the daily life of local residents who live in traditional stilt houses along the riverbanks.

Move on to Wat Po Bangkla, a peaceful temple known for golden-crowned flying foxes (fruit bats) that roost in the trees. Their high-pitched squawking is sure to be the first thing to grab your attention. Don't miss the largest reclining Ganesha in Thailand, situated at Wat Saman Rattanaram. Your guide will make a quick stop at Wat Paknam Jolo and its golden pavilion for 'making merit.' Learn about this Buddhist tradition before continuing to your final destination at Muban Nam Tan Sot village where you can taste fresh palm juice and palm seeds produced here.

Your tour concludes with transport back to your hotel in Bangkok.
