What to expect

Embark on a tour that not only offers an enriching experience but also contributes positively to local communities. This journey provides an opportunity for skilled local floral artisans, who typically lack the means to learn English, to teach their craft to foreign guests, thereby enhancing their language skills and earning income simultaneously.

Your adventure begins with a stroll through a bustling flower market, where you'll be captivated by the vast selection of blooms. Following this, you'll participate in a lotus folding workshop led by a local vendor, offering a hands-on experience of traditional Thai craftsmanship. The tour then takes you to the serene Kalayanamitr Temple, a harmonious blend of Thai and Chinese Buddhism, providing a tranquil respite amidst your exploration.

The highlight of your day will undoubtedly be the 60-minute floral workshop. Here, you'll master the art of creating a Thai flower garland under the guidance of local artisans. The challenge lies in aligning threading numerous Thai jasmines onto a skewer without losing track - a task that requires patience and precision.

Your cultural immersion continues with a visit to the Baan Kudi Chin Museum (closed on Mondays), an educational hub that sheds light on the Siam-Portuguese lineage. To ensure your convenience and peace of mind throughout this journey, the tour includes a private English-speaking guide, comfortable transportation, and travel insurance.

Bangkok Canals and Flower Market

Thailand's markets come in all shapes and sizes – and this full-day tour dives right into the action. First up is Ladplee, Thailand's first floating market, and the oldest one around. It's for the history and the hypes, and trust us, it delivers. Picture colourful canoes drifting by, piled high with fresh fruit, snacks, and local goodies – perfect for snapping those Insta-worthy shots. Next, you'll cruise through Bangkok's canals to the lively Damnoen Floating Market, where the energy is just as electric. Then, it's off to Wat Bang Kung, an ancient temple that looks like it's been plucked straight from a movie set, completely enveloped by jungle vines. After a tasty seafood lunch, you'll have time to wave at the cheeky monkeys when you stop by the Mangrove Conservation Centre. And, for the grand finale, we'll hit the Maeklong Railway Market—where stalls are literally set up on the train tracks. Sounds wild, right? Just wait until you see them clear out in the nick of time as the train rolls through, then everything goes right back to business. This is one Thai adventure you won't want to miss.
