Day twenty - Siam Explorer Tour |
|
From Kanchanaburi to Jomtien Beach (ride) |
|
|
Departing Kanchanaburi, we shall ride in direction of Bangkok.
On the way we shall stop at Damnoen Saduak floating market.
Day in and day out from about 8 a.m. to about 12 a.m. the
Damnoen Saduak floating market is routinely crowded with
hundreds of vendors and purchasers floating in their small
rowing boats selling and buying or exchanging their goods. What
they purchase are particularly food, fruit and vegetable which
mostly brought from their own orchards. They usually travel on
their small rowing boats. The name Damnoen Saduak derives from
the name of the canal dug already in the reign of King Rama IV
by the military men.
To avoid the Bangkok centre's heavy
traffic we shall take a ferry across Phraya river and ride
along the shore of Eastern Seaboard. The afternoon brings us
back to our base Jomtien Beach. Usually the group has the
last farewell dinner this day. Accommodation with breakfast
in Jomtien. |
