Visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, one of Thailand’s most vibrant marketplaces, and board a longtail boat to go right into the midst of the market’s floating vendors. After exploring the unique markets, which remain one of the top attractions in this region, you’ll return to your air-conditioned coach and head towards Kanchanaburi, where the River Kwai is located.

The river’s famous bridge was built in 1943 as part of a wartime project intended to connect Thai and Burmese railway lines to support the Japanese occupation of Burma. More than 100,000 laborers and 12,000 prisoners of war died during the bridge’s construction. Following your time at the bridge, head to the JEATH War Museum to see displays of pictures and artifacts from the period.

After a full day of exploring the landscapes that lie beyond Bangkok City's limits, this tour concludes with a drop-off at your original departure point.
