Seventy kilometres
south west of Bangkok , the Mae Klong River spreads into a sprawling delta before
reaching the Gulf of Thailand. This low-lying land is extremely
fertile and over hundreds of years the Thai people have
constructed an extensive network of canals to aid irrigation
and navigation.
The local way of life has remained traditional
and agricultural revolving around the colourful floating
markets where the fruits of the surrounding orchards are
traded.
This area is a dream to ride through. Starting
with quick visit to Damnoen Saduak floating market, the biggest
most colourful in Thailand, we take a
longtail boat ride through a maze of canals cutting through
local villages and various plantations. This eye-opening boat ride offers a glimpse
of Thailand of old where local people are going about their
daily life with the canal as the focal point. |

A great lunch at a riverside restaurant. |

What do we see? |
| |
Temples, canals, orchards, more temples, more
canals, people but hardly any cars. Depending on the season,
you will see grapes, lychee, pomelo, guava and coconuts ripe
for picking. This is a fascinating area just waiting to be
explored. Many temples have long been
favoured by Royalty and you visit Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram,
which was constructed by the princess mother of Somdet Phra
Amarintharamat and birthplace of King Phra Phutta Lertla,
Rama II. See Wat Bang
Kung, a quirky temple held up by a huge banyan tree, where
you step inside to see a Buddha image. Also visit the exceptional
carved temple of Wat Bang Kae Noi where the inside of the
Wat has carved panels depicting the story of the enlightenment
of Buddha. |

What is the riding like? |
| |
This is a gentle 32-km ride along
country back roads, nice flat canal paths and plantation trails, we ride quiet
back roads and jeep trails. Stopping often at points of interest,
the riding is at a leisurely pace and suitable for anyone. |

|
| |
A chance to
explore a temple complex and a local market at the end of
the ride before heading back to Bangkok. |
