Good day out from Bangkok

Although it’s a long drive from bangkok, our guide Sam made the drive interesting with lots of facts. We stopped at the coconut farm on the way where we learnt about local life with the coconuts. Once at the floating market, the boat experience was very relaxing and we bought food and drink as we paddled along. Worth the trip
