Bangkok to Mahachai Cultural Discovery
Get picked up from your hotel at 8:00 AM and travel by public transport to the train station, where you will depart for Mahachai.
Upon arrival, experience the lively seafood market before walking to the pier to catch a ferry.
Meet the local guide at the community center and enjoy a rickshaw tour of the Thai-Chinese village, where you will explore its main attractions. Your first stop is the old train station, which is approximately 100 years old.
Next, admire the architecture of the ancient wooden Buddhist hall at Wat Laem Suwannaram Temple.
Then, visit the Chinese God Shrine before your local guide treats you to a refreshing Thai herbal drink.
Visit Wat Chong Lom Temple to see its amazing wall painting.
Have lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch, choose between an indigo-dye workshop or making a Thai herbal compress ball.
At the indigo-dye workshop, you will use traditional practices and natural ingredients to dye your own scarf and take it home as a souvenir. Alternatively, you will make your own herbal compress ball. A local therapist will show you which herbs to put into your compress and then use it to give you a traditional Thai massage.
At 3:00 PM, return to Bangkok by train and public transport.
