Depart to Ratchaburi province for the village of Damnoen Saduak, about 110km from Bangkok. Damnoen Saduakis surrounded by a network of khlongs (canals) that radiate out into the orchards and gardens in the surrounding countryside. Daily, local farmers gather fruits, vegetables and prepared foods and trade them along the canals near the drop off point at the market wharf. Seasonal fruits offered include mango, jackfruit, rambutan, the notoriously pungent durian and many more. Optional boat hire to explore the narrow canals is available at the market wharf. Further optional visits include a Snake Farm, an Elephant ride, and the Royal Thai Handicrafts workshop.

A visit to the scenic province of Kanchanaburi, revealing its role in the history of the Pacific War. Kanchanaburi Province, one of the largest and hottest of all Thai provinces, lying to the west of Bangkok and adjacent to Myanmar separated mostly by a mountainous border broken by the Three Pagodas Pass. Kanchanaburi sits on the banks of the Kwae Yai and Kwae Noi rivers, surrounded by limestone outcrops and fields of sugar cane. One less pleasant aspect of its history was the prisoner of war camp during the Second World War, when this area was the site of a railway line intended to stretch throughout British Burma to India. Visit the Jeath war museum, which is housed in the same sort of huts the POW's used and is filled with exhibits telling their story. Visit the War Cemetery as well as the Bridge on the River Kwai, restored after the war and still carries the railway today.
