Bangkok Floating Market and River Kwai Tour







If your time in Bangkok is limited then this is an ideal way to see two great places in one full day excursion! Your journey commences with a leisurely drive passing through salt fields and rice paddies before arriving at a jetty. Here we will board long tail speed-boats to take you to the market. The market is made up of Thai style canoes laden with colorful , succulent fruits, vegetables, sweets and meats. They gently ply their way through the canal selling as they go. From the market we will continue west to Kanchanaburi, home to the River Kwai and it?s infamous bridge. Lunch will be taken at a local restaurant before visiting the bridge after which a visit is made to the new Thailand - Burma War Museum which is adjacent to the War Grave Cemetery. Combining the two attractions unfortunately means there is not enough time to take a train ride, before your journey back to Bangkok and your hotel.
