Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Khlong Toei Market, Rama IV Road Khlong Toei, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110 Thailand
First we visit the largest fresh market in the Thai capital, Talat Klongtoey, which is also one of the most authentic markets in the city. It attracts all kind of shoppers from street food vendors to chefs
from some of Bangkok’s best hotel restaurants. The market is almost like a small town inside a city with a network of stalls selling everything from fresh fruit, herbs and vegetables, meat, and insects to live frogs, ducks, chickens, clothes and countless other items in between. This local market is a great place to make some photos!
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Khlong Toei Market, Rama IV Road Khlong Toei, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110 Thailand
See how the local people live in and around the market. This really is a local, but a very lively part of the Thai capital.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Phra Pradaeng, Phra Pradaeng, Samut Prakan Province
From the market we take a tuk-tuk to Phra Pradaeng, the ‘Green Lung’ of Bangkok.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden, 73 Soi Wat Rat Rangsan, Tambon Bang Kachao, Amphoe Phra Pradaeng, Chang Wat Samut Prakan 10130, Thailand
As soon as we arrive in Phra Pradaeng, it feels like we arrived in a totally different world. No high-rise buildings, almost no traffic and lots of trees and plants. Welcome to the ‘Green Lung’ of Bangkok! Still undiscovered by most tourists, here you hear the birds singing instead of the traffic sounds of busy Bangkok!
Typical Thai samlors (bicycle taxis or rickshaws) are waiting for us here to explore the ‘Green Lung’ or ‘Bangkok Jungle’.
While sitting in the samlor you get a good impression how the local people live their life here, far away from the crowded and well-known tourist areas. You will get the feeling that Thailand’s capital city is hundreds of kilometers away!
We ride along banana trees and coconut plantations, passing local houses on stilts and make a stop at a non-touristy Buddhist temple.
At a local restaurant we will enjoy a delicious Thai meal (Pad Thai – Thai noodles or Khao Pad – fried rice) before we continue to a well-maintained public park where we will feed the fish. If you’re lucky, you might see some of the famous residents of this park, the huge monitor lizards! Although they look scary, they’re actually harmless.
At the end of the tour your guide will assist you finding a taxi back to your hotel.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
