Wongwian Yai, Mahachi, Mae Klong, Bang Kung and Noo-Jo Art Farm
07:00-07:15 hours - Meet your Thai guide and driver at the hotel lobby. Transfer to Wongwian Yai railway station, passing the King Taksin Monument, dedicated to the former great king.
08:00-08:35 hours - Arrive at Wongwian Yai railway station and ride a local train to Mahachi. If time allows, visit a morning market before boarding the 08:35 hrs train for a journey of approximately 60 minutes. Along the way, see the large buildings of Bangkok.
09:35 hours - The train arrives at Mahachi Train Station in Samut Sakhon province. The station sits in the middle of a huge market, where vendors sell fresh seafood such as squid, sea bass, red snapper, mussels, cockles, as well as various vegetables and fruits. Visit a Chinese shrine in the same area, then hop into the minivan and head towards Mae Klong Railway Market, a uniquely characteristic market.
10:50 hours - Mae Klong Railway Market in Samut Songkhram province is located directly by the railway track. Before the train reaches the station, vendors rush to close their parasols and canvas covers and clear away any goods that may obstruct the fast-approaching train. Once the train has passed, the parasols and canvas are reopened and the goods are placed back in their usual spots beside the railroad. Enjoy seeing the wide variety of vegetables and fresh fruits here.
12:00 hours - Lunch at a local restaurant.
13:00 hours - After lunch, drive to Bang Kung Temple, which was built during the Ayutthaya period. It once served as a navy campsite during the reign of King Taksin the Great. The temple was abandoned for almost 200 years before being restored, and a shrine was later built to memorialize King Taksin the Great's achievements.
14:00 hours - Visit Noo-Jo Art Farm, where a couple has adopted and transformed the land into a local learning center for mixed agriculture while also producing art in their own style. You can take part in a workshop here and keep your creation as a souvenir. Afterwards, freshen up with local coffee at the gallery before heading back to Bangkok.
17:00 hours - Arrive in Bangkok and drop off at your hotel.
