Itinerary
07:00 - Pick up from your hotel in Bangkok. Sit back and enjoy a scenic drive to Samut Songkhram province.
08:30 - The 'Risky' Mae Klong Railway Market — The Thrill: Arrive just in time to witness the incredible spectacle of the train rolling directly through the bustling market. Watch vendors expertly fold their canopies in seconds and swiftly relocate their goods whenever the train passes — an unforgettable, photogenic slice of local life.
09:30 - Wat Bang Kung (Unseen Thailand) — The Wonder: Step into a hidden world and marvel at the ancient spiritual chapel entirely encased within the dramatic, twisting roots of an old banyan tree — a serene, photogenic spot for a truly magical setting.
10:45 - Don Hoi Lod Razor Clamming — Hands-On Local Life: Join local foragers on the mudflats and learn the specialized technique for catching razor clams, famous along the tidal flats. Roll up your sleeves and try razor clams firsthand on this famous sandbar (seasonal and tide-dependent). The experience is usually most enjoyable from March–May and works best around the lunar cycle (waxing/waning moon), adjusting slightly with high tides.

16:30 - Drop-off at Bangkok Hotel — Time to Reflect: Arrive at your hotel feeling refreshed and full of unique travel stories.
