Damnoen Saduak: watch the congested canals filled with sturdy canoes laden with fresh fruits and vegetables at this unforgettable market.
Maeklong Railway Market: yet another unique setting for a market, in this case, on top of an active railway track.
Allied War Cemetery: a memorial to some 6000 allied prisoners of war who perished along the death railway line and were moved post-war to this eternal resting place.
Phi Phi: white sandy beaches give way to soaring limestone cliffs to form breath-taking scenery. Crystal clear waters and a laid-back lifestyle, and it’s easy to see why Phi Phi is one of southern Thailand’s most popular destinations.
