Tour Reference: WPAO2
Private Day Tour from Bangkok | Pick-up at 08:00tep off the beaten path and immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms of local life on our Don Wai and Amphawa Market Tour from Bangkok — a private full-day adventure to two of Central Thailand’s most beloved destinations. This unique tour blends culture, cuisine, and natural beauty with the comfort of private transport and a knowledgeable guide.

What to Expect:

Morning at Don Wai Market
Begin your day with a visit to Don Wai Market, a lively, colorful local market where you can wander through stalls brimming with fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, and traditional Thai snacks. Feel the authentic pulse of everyday Thai life as you mingle with vendors and locals.

• Sample or buy delicious treats to enjoy later

• Soak in the sights, sounds, and smells of this genuine community hub

Lunch Picnic on a Traditional Rice Barge
After the market tour, board a converted rice barge for a relaxing 90-minute cruise along the scenic Nakhon Chaisi River. Savor your picnic lunch onboard while drifting past centuries-old wooden riverside homes, catching a glimpse of timeless Thai river life.

Afternoon and Evening in Amphawa
Next, travel by road to Amphawa, famous for its charming weekend market and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

• Explore the bustling Amphawa Market — a favorite among locals for its lively mix of food stalls, handicrafts, and fresh produce

• Choose from a variety of authentic dining options — from floating vendors grilling fresh seafood to cozy riverside restaurants. If you’d like, I’ll gladly recommend dishes and places to eat like a true local!

• After dinner, enjoy a magical long-tail boat ride to see the enchanting fireflies light up the mangrove trees at night. Join the regular tour or opt for a private boat experience — whichever suits your style best.

Why Choose Amphawa?

Unlike the more tourist-heavy Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Amphawa is cherished by Thais themselves as the perfect weekend escape. Its smaller scale and vibrant local crowd make it an ideal spot to experience authentic Thai culture, lively markets, delicious street food, and unforgettable river views.
