Your Travel Experience with connections-dynamic
Day 1
You leave early in the morning for Samut Songkran province and its famous train market. This market is set alongside a railroad that is still in use. You will probably stare in disbelief when a train arrives and rides millimetres past the items on sale and the stalls itself for that matter. Next you visit the floating market of Damnoen Saduak. A very touristy place, but that does not alter the fact that it is a unique experience. You drive on to Kanchanaburi for a nice lunch. Here you visit the famous bridge over the River Kwai, the cemetery and the War Museum.
Day 2
On your programme today is a visit to the Erawan Falls which is recognised as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Thailand as it cascades over 7 seperate tiers. The Falls are part of a national park and can be reached via an adventurous path through the thick rainforest. At the bottom of each waterfall is a crystal clear pool sculped by the smooth limestone with a great number of curious fish that will swim up to you as you go for a refreshing dip! It takes roughly takes three hours to explore the total length of the fall and see the seven tiers which span 1500 m. When you reach the highest "tier" at level 7, a picnic lunch awaits. After lunch you can play around and relax at this incredible site. Then you slowly descend and return to your hotel.
Day 3
After breakfast you will head to the Prasat Muang Historical Park, a special historical park which hosts a number of beautiful temple structures erected in Khmer style. After this visit you will be dropped at a local train station where you will board the train for a ride on the "Death Railway" through the tropical forest.
After the lunch, your driver will take you to the next stop on your Ayutthaya trip, you spend the night at Classic Kameo.
Day 4
Today, you are visiting the Ayuthaya province at the Bang Pa In Summer Palace, once the summer residence of the king, explore its beautifully designed gardens before embarking on a scenic long-tail boat tour along the rivers and canals. Observe authentic local life as you pass stilt houses and watch daily activities unfold before your eyes.
Enjoy a delicious lunch in a local restaurant, then hop on a tuk-tuk for an exploration of the ancient capital of Ayuthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire the immense temple ruins, towering chedis and serene Buddha statues that reflect the former glory of the ancient kingdom of Siam. At the end of the day, your driver will drop you off at Ayutthaya station, perfect for boarding the overnight train for another adventure.
