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. Come back tomorrow for four more suggestions.


Swimming Monkeys

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]

 
Farm Chokchai

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]

 
 Khao Kheow Open Zoo

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!

Sanam Chan Palace

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]
