Optional Cultural Tour

Saturday, 9 August 2025

Experience an unforgettable day exploring some of Thailand’s most iconic and colorful destinations.

The adventure begins at the famous Maeklong Railway Market, known as the Folding Umbrella Market. Watch in awe as the market springs to life around the railway tracks, with vendors expertly folding back their awnings as the train passes through—an incredible showcase of Thailand’s vibrant local spirit.

Continue to the renowned Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Board a traditional long-tailed boat and glide along narrow canals lined with bustling vendors. Shop for local crafts, tropical fruits, and tasty snacks—all from your boat—while taking in authentic canal-side life.

After the floating market, return to Bangkok to visit two of its most treasured landmarks. Marvel at the Grand Palace, with its intricate architecture and shimmering golden spires, and pay respects at the sacred Emerald Buddha. Finally, discover the beauty of Wat Pho, home to the majestic Reclining Buddha and one of Thailand’s most important temples.

This tour offers a rich taste of Thailand’s history, culture, and daily life—all in one memorable day.

Please note that an additional charge of USD95 will apply if you are attending with your partner or family member. The total amount will be calculated during registration, and payment must be made to secure their spot.
