Day Trips from Bangkok 

Have you already seen everything in Bangkok? Do you want to go on some day trips from Bangkok to discover something a little different? The excursions and tours on this website are all from Richard Barrow, a prolific writer and ardent photographer who has been living in Thailand since the early 1990's. Discover some of the out of the way places that only a local could find for you. The following excursions and day trips from Bangkok have been chosen by our editor to be highlighted today.

So, last weekend I set off on a day trip to Nakhon Pathom, to the West of Bangkok. My destination was Don Wai Market. Some people call this a floating market. However, strictly speaking, it is a market on the banks of the Nakhon Chaisi River.... [more]
