Itinerary description
|
Today's goal is to get to the Mae Klong train market and visit the Damnoen Saduak floating market the next day.
Let's start the route and we are pulling at a good pace, combining secondary roads with some faster ones. We make some stops to see and get water and arrive at Maeklong at lunch time.
We visit the market on foot, walking over the train tracks where there are stalls that quickly dismantle when the train approaches.
We take the opportunity to make a juice while waiting for the 2:30 pm train to pass in a restaurant that is at the foot of the train tracks, run by a very nice gentleman.
We have lunch in the same place and so we also see the departure of the train that leaves the station at 15:30.
As we leave, the gentleman from the restaurant tells us that tomorrow is a national holiday and recommends that we go to Amphawa where there is also a floating market and where at night people make offerings with candles during this holiday.
So let's go to Amphawa, which is only 7km from Maeklong, walk through the market and look for a hotel.
We slept in the Benjamin hostel, a little shabby bungalows but enough to spend the night.
We end up having dinner at the street market, some grilled prawns and squid.
