Overview

Three of amazing places that you can do in a day. Firstly, to be witness of “Thailand Only” with Meaklong Railway Market. It has a train running through right down the middle and close enough to touch. The coolest thing is the awnings and shop fronts adjusts itself and perfectly encapsulates the train as it rolls through. From Mae Klong you will take 30 minutes drive continue journey to another famous Bangkok market - Damnoen Saduak Floating market. It is a great way to see the winding canals you would not otherwise have access to on foot. Lastly , we take few more hours drive to Kanchanaburi , full of history and culture! Here is the Bridge over the River Kwae (sound likes “where”), which is a 1957 British-American epic of Second World War film and makes its famous. Also we will take you to visit Thailand-Burma War Center and War Cemetery.

The awnings are pulled back only as far as necessary, the baskets of fruit and vegetables are shifted just enough as to not be sliced by the metal wheels. Amazingly, nothing is damaged or broken, and as soon as the train passes, vendors continue as normal.
