Catch a glimpse into Thai countryside life in Samut Songkhram
Located about 80km to the south of Bangkok, Samut Songkhram is a small yet intriguing destination traversed by the Mae Klong River and containing a portion that links to the Gulf of Thailand. Most tourists from Bangkok will choose a day trip to this province to experience the countryside life in Thailand. You will have a great chance to take a short regional train ride running through an amazing countryside market, board on a local boat passing plantations and Buddhist temples, and visit traditional villages of hand-painted Benjarong porcelain.
