Century Park Hotel (Breakfast - Lunch)

Enjoy the day at leisure, or experience some of Bangkok's best with a Floating Market and Rose Garden Tour with lunch, followed by an evening of Thai Boxing. (optional tour) 

To discover the way Bangkok used to be, travel about 100 km. outside of Bangkok to the Floating market of Damnoen Saduak with its many colours, flavors and exotic fragrances. An exhilarating ride on a narrow long-tail-speedboat through the marshes, passing by riverside villages and fruit plantations prepares you for this unique market. There will be a good opportunity to photograph the rural life along the canal banks before arriving at the market on the water. Here locals in their small flat bottomed boats market their produce.

Afterwards continue to Nakorn Pathom, regarded as the oldest city in Thailand. Here sits the PHRA PATHOM CHEDI, which is the largest pagoda in Southeast Asia. The golden tiled dome (pagoda) of the Chedi towers 127 m. into the sky. Lunch is at the picturesque Rose Garden Country Resort. The Rose Garden has extensive landscaped gardens, a lake, several traditional Thai-style houses and a village. After lunch there is a Thai Village cultural show. The presentation gives you an introduction to Thai life with a Buddhist monk ordination ceremony, a wedding, folk dances, martial arts and Thai Boxing demonstration. Local village handicraft will be on display, and can be purchased from various shops. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon.

This evening, enjoy a traditional Thai Boxing show.
