About this place

About 90 minutes southwest of Bangkok, this area offers a perfect blend of agricultural tourism and cultural experiences. Visit the salt fields during dry season (Nov-April) to see the traditional harvesting methods and geometric salt ponds perfect for photography. Amphawa Floating Market comes alive in the evening with locals buying dinner from boat vendors, and you can take a nighttime long-tail boat tour to see thousands of fireflies in the nearby mangroves.
