Mae Klong and Ampawa Market

 

Visit Mae Klong Market and watch it disappear as the train passes through, and Amphawa Floating Market with an opportunity to view the fireflies. Pick up from the various hotel. Depart for Samutsonkram Province. Arrived to Meklong market. This is a typical local fresh market with a twist. It occupies a railway line, so each time a train draws in to the platform there is an orchestrated system where the vendors withdraw to let it pass, returning to their positions once it leaves. Continue to Amphawa Floating Market. Fresh produce is transported along the canal network from outlying farms an orchards by small boats to the market pier. There is free time for two hours to explore the market which boasts a fine array of traditional food specialities and desserts as well as arts and crafts. As evening descends take a boat trip up the canal to view the illuminations provided by Lampyridae, the firefly - although it is actually a member of the beetle family. Then returned to their accommodation. Languages English
