What makes Maeklong Railway & Floating Market Tour (Private & All-Inclusive) a unique experience ?
Witness the river packed with wooden boats that are overflowing with fruit and vegetables. The scene is colorful, loud, and totally unique, just as you’d expect from a Thai market.
The Maeklong Railway Market is exactly as it sounds. A market that takes place along the Maeklong Railway. Vendors sell everything from fruits, vegetables, and meats, to souvenirs and clothing. The train goes through the market eight times per day, and when it heads down the tracks vendors coolly move their stations out of its path.
Wat Bang Kung is one of the most unique temples in Thailand. The temple has been engulfed by the roots and branches of large banyan trees over the course of several centuries, making it completely overtaken by nature. The temple provides a seamless combination of pure natural beauty and serene spiritualism.
The temple is notable for its 17-story tall pink cylindrical building with a gigantic red-and-green dragon sculpture curling around the entire height. The interior of the dragon sculpture contains a spiraling flight of stairs, which has however deteriorated to a poor condition in places. It also contains a huge Buddha statue as well as many additional Buddhist statues.
The temple is first on the list of six temples in Thailand classed as the highest grade of the first-class royal temples. It is associated with King Rama I who rebuilt the temple complex on an earlier temple site. It became his main temple and is where some of his ashes are enshrined.
Wat Arun is among the best known of Thailand’s landmarks. The first light of the morning reflects off the surface of the temple with pearly iridescence.
Loha Prasat, which means iron castle, is composed of five towers, of which the outer, middle and the center towers contain large black iron spires.
Chinatown is in one of the oldest areas of Bangkok. It is the result of the resettlement of Chinese on the west bank of Chao Phraya River after King Rama I moved the capital of the kingdom from Thonburi to Rattanakosin.
Lumpini Park is a 360 rai park in Bangkok, Thailand. The park offers rare open public space, trees, and playgrounds in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake where visitors can rent boats
Khaosan Road is a short street in central Bangkok, Thailand constructed in 1892 during the reign of Rama V. It is known as one of the coolest party streets in the capital.
Wat Ratchabophit is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok along Khlong Khu Mueang Doem, not far from Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. The temple was built during the reign of King Rama V.
The Talat flower market is a market in Bangkok, Thailand, that sells flowers, fruits, and vegetables. It is the primary flower market of Bangkok and has been cited as a “place of symbolic value” to Bangkok residents
The Grand Palace and Wat Prakaew command respect from all who have walked in their sacred grounds. Built in 1782, and served as the home of Thai Kings and the Royal court for 150 years, The Grand Palace continues to have visitors in awe with its beautiful architecture and intricate detail. Wat Pra Kaew enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), a sacred Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of emerald.
Bangkok’s Chinatown is a colorful, exotic and pleasingly chaotic area, packed with market stalls and probably the highest concentration of gold shops in the city. During major festivities like Chinese New Year and the Vegetarian Festival, the dynamism and spirit of celebration spread across town like wildfire, and if you happen to be around, don’t miss an opportunity to witness Chinatown Bangkok at its best.
Sky Bar boasts sweeping views from the top of State Tower, one of Bangkok’s tallest buildings. With its highly visible golden dome, the bar is tucked away in a corner of the award-winning, open-air Sirocco restaurant on the 64th floor. Sky Bar’s counter is illuminated and changes color every few minutes.
