Neighboring Provinces of Bangkok

Get to know a bit of Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram
(Two Oceanic Provinces:Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram)

Samut Sakhon and Samut Songkhram are the small provinces having the rivers flowing through.Most tourist attractions are located near the river.Along the river ,there are histories to study,ancient temples, lines of houses, view of the people going about their life and the boats rowing up and down the stream. It's a of them are worth a visit and attention.
The good reasons for travelling these 2 provinces are they not far from Bangkok and easy to visit by various ways. there are plenty of accommodations which are mostly located by the river.Some of them not only offer you a good full-service, but also suggest you a tour program.By a way, if you get to Mahachai, don't forget to taste their seafood, especially mackerel, regarded as the best seafood of Samut Songkhram.
The most appropriate time to travel these 2 provinces is at the weekend, beacuse some tourist sites are close, for example, Amphawa floating market. For Tha kha floating market, tourist should check the date with Thai lunar calendar since it takes place six days a month. For temples, they are open every day. Tourist who would like to visit these holy places should dress properly and follow the rules of that place.
The most important thing, tourists who wish to stay overnight should contact the accommodation in advance to make a room reservation before it's full.
