Full description
Enjoy a perfect afternoon getaway from Bangkok combining nature, local culture, and Thailand's most iconic markets in a small group setting. The tour begins in the Khaosan Road area with hotel pick-up and transportation in a comfortable vehicle. The first stop is at the peaceful mangrove forests of Klong Khone, where you will board a traditional longtail boat to explore the coastal ecosystem and meet the famous swimming monkeys as they approach the water to receive fruit. Next, you will visit the world-famous Maeklong Railway Market to witness the excitement of vendors retracting their stalls seconds before the train passes through the market.
