Overview

Experience the beauty of Thailand with your host Starting in Phuket, we will visit the Big Buddha at Nakkerd Hills, Wat Chalong, play with elephants at a jungle sanctuary, snorkel around Phi Phi Island, explore caves and hongs by sea kayak and more. After Phuket, we will hop on a quick flight over to Bangkok for an evening dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River. A trip to Bangkok wouldn't be complete without visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, which we will do the following morning. And we couldn't think of a better way to end this incredible week than Skydiving in Pattaya! All this and more on your journey through Thailand.

Day 8

AM - Half Day Damnoen Saduak Floating Market with English Speaking Guide

 There are countless floating markets throughout the country, many within a couple of hours' of the capital. The colorfully clad merchants at these lively markets paddle along congested canals in sturdy canoes laden with fresh fruit and vegetables to sell to shoppers on the banks. There is lots of chatter and activity - bargaining is common - that's all part of the fun -- but don't expect to get the price down more than a few baht. The most famous of the floating markets is Damnoen Saduak, about 100 kilometers southwest of Bangkok. This buzzing market is at its best in the early morning before the crowds arrive and the heat of the day builds up. Before ending and return back to Bangkok, visit the ancient Wat Bangkung, the unique and one of amazing spot of Ordination Hall in a big Banyan Tree.
