TOUR DESCRIPTION
Day 1
This tour is a great way to begin your exploration of Bangkok with a visit to this mega cities true heart and center! On this day trip we will collect you from your cruise ship at Laem Chabang and take you to our first destination of the day which is Bangkok's most important palace and temple complex 'The Grand Palace'. The Grand Palace was built as a royal residence and over the years many additions have been made including the stunning Wat Phra Kaew which houses the Emerald Buddha carved out of a single piece of Jade! After lunch we will proceed to Wat Po famous for its Thai massage school and its giant reclining Buddha. Following Wat Po we will take a cross river ferry to observe the iconic Wat Arun one of Bangkok's most iconic temples. You will be able to get close up and climb part way up the Pagoda to get a panoramic view over the Chao Phraya. At Wat Arun we will board a long tail boat for a ride along the Chao Phraya River. From this great vantage point you will be right amongst river life and see Bangkok from a different perspective. We will soon leave the main river for the backwater canals in Thonburi where you will see a more sedate and traditional way of living as we make our way up and down narrow canals a long way from the hectic pace and traffic of usual Bangkok life. At the end of the day we will transfer you to your Bangkok hotel

Day 2
Get ready for an early departure as we will be picking you up at 7:00am for our trip towards! Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. On the route to Damnoen Saduak we will stop by at Mae Klong Train Market where you witness the market vendors goods set up across the tracks of a working railway line. Just wait and see the amazing scene unfold when the scheduled train passes through this market! Before Damnoen Saduak we will make a short stop at a wonderful little Home industry producing palm sugar. You can see the sugar being made as well as try some of the sweet candy produced from the palm sugar. At Damnoen Saduak you well board a privately chartered motorboat where we will travel some of the canals on the way to the market and you can get a glimpse of real canal side life. we will disembark the boat at the market and you will then be free to explore the market, you can wander up and down the canals flagging down boats and vendors as you please or take the paddle boat option where you can really get amongst the action on the canals. Lunch will be taken before we commence the drive back to Laem Chabang where will will transfer you to your waiting cruise ship.
Important Update - Sept 2013: Due to a train timetable change it is unlikely that you will get to see the train passing through The Mae Klong Train Market on this tour. The train has been put back to a later time and now clashes with a visit to the floating market (For now we are leaving a visit to the market in the itinerary as the market itself is still of interest) If the timetable does not return to its previous times we will be moving the train from this tour description. Sorry for any disappointment.
