Samut Songkram Province is known for being the birthplace of King Rama II. Close to Bangkok, it offers an entirely different environment with temples, a tropical climate and organic products coming from the fields. One of the main attractions here is Amphawa Floating Market, where locals sell their products (Food, drinks, snacks, clothes, and traditional souvenirs).
Ban Khlong Ta Cha community is lucky enough to be situated among the hundreds of coconut groves. In the past, missionaries came to spread Christianism among them. In the following years, the community growth, bought coconut plantations for the church and built the tallest church in Thailand. Missionaries are one of the reasons why there are many Christians in Thailand. Ban Khlong Ta Cha community could be defined by religion, nature, and coconut tree!
Bangkok is great but its outskirts are so much better! Why not give it a try?
