Visit Swimming Monkeys

Less than 90 minutes away from Bangkok, along the coast in Samut Songkhram Province, you can join boat tours to explore the mangrove forests and the fishermen huts out in the bay. One of the highlights are the monkeys that swim out to your boat looking for fruit.  [more]

Visit a Dairy Farm

Less than two hours away from Bangkok is Farm Chokchai. Here you can join agro-tours of the farm. Learn how to milk a cow, watch sheep being herded and even have a go at riding a horse in a Wild West town.  [more]

Visit Dream World

One of the major theme parks in Thailand is Dream World in Pathum Thani Province, just north of Bangkok. If you are on holiday in Thailand with your kids and are looking for an entertaining day out, then I would seriously consider Dream World. They also have Snow Town if you are feeling too hot! [more]

Visit Sanam Chan Palace

I have visted Nakhon Pathom three or four times, and on every trip I usually just visit the giant Phra Pathom Chedi . It is true that it is impressive, but then so is the nearby Phra Ratchawang Sanam Chan Palace with its unique mixture of Thai, English Tudor and French architectural styles. I suppose my only excuse for not visiting before is that it isn't in the Lonely Planet. [more]
