Itinerary
Giorno 1 — River Kwai
Total distance - 290 km
departure for Samut Songkhram at 6.45, Stop at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, which is a local market crossed by a railway. The curiosity of this place is due to the fact that goods are placed along the tracks, and every time a train passes, a part of it must be removed and then immediately repositioned. We continue towards the famous floating market in the area of Damnern Saduak, in the fertile plains of the Ratchaburi province, about 100 km west of Bangkok. The visit to the market will begin by traveling through the rural canals on board the "long tail boats," the typical local motorboats. Free time to visit the market., Later, we will return to the course of the Maekhlong River (Kwai) for lunch at a panoramic restaurant. We enter the region of Kanchanaburi, whose rugged and wild mountains mark the natural border with neighboring Burma. We continue to the Tham Krasae train station, on a high cliff overlooking the river; we visit the small cave that houses a Buddha statue, then on the historic train we follow the course of the Kwai River along viaducts clinging to the steep mountain walls. We arrive at Tha Kilaen station and from there we continue by car to the Nam Tok boarding pier; we continue on traditional motor boats to the hotel, a simple resort in a picturesque location on the river banks, surrounded by jungle and mountain peaks; the final part of the afternoon is free to enjoy the resort's services in the lush surrounding nature., dinner, accommodation,
