The province of Samut Songkhram is located barely an hour southwest of Bangkok.

Much less popular, it is nevertheless a great place to spend the weekend!
Visitors can also explore the area's ancient temples, such as Wat Bang Kung, enveloped by tree roots, as well as the tropical fruit orchards and coconut farms that dot the countryside.

Samut Songkhram offers an authentic experience in the heart of Thailand.
