Last week when in Thailand had a "bucket list" experience at Damnoen Tiger World after tour of Maeklong Railway Market & Damnoen Saduak Floating Market when milk fed a 10 month old Bengal Tiger called "London". The tiger was on my lap the whole time and it was a wonderful experience. The trainers were very professional and took many photos and a video. The zoo itself is small and still undergoing renovation but was very clean and well managed. The tigers have spacious enclosures with pool and shade and all looked very healthy. My tour guide said that the owner of the zoo says goodnight to each tiger every night when leaving the zoo. This is a must when visiting Bangkok. Highly recommended!

An interesting Buddhist Temple that has been completely overgrown by trees. Reminded me a little of the Buddha Head in the tree roots in Ayutthaya.
No signs or information in English I’m afraid so unless you have a guide who can explain what you are looking at (which we didn’t) you might want to do some research beforehand and prepare your own sightseeing notes……….. but if you don’t you will still enjoy the experience.
This is a peaceful site with a small number of Thai Tourists.

This is a good place to experience the local life & feel the unique water market/life and tour. There are a lot things to see and many local food to try. We went for local tour at only 50 Baht per person to go for boat trip with 6 riverside areas that mostly local people go even they are not special but still worth to try.
這是個體驗當地生活的好地方，也是個很能體驗很特殊的水上市場、生活和行程的地方，還不少東西看，也很多東西可以吃，我們還花了一個人50泰銖的船費去了六個多是當地人才會去的河岸旁景點，雖然這幾個景點並不特殊，但還是很值得一遊。

It's a special & amazing experience to shopping/ dine in the railway market, especially when the train is arriving. The train is so close to us. However, the market is too crowded with tourists
5. Maikaew Pier

Riding through Damnoen Saduak Floating Market there is this pier where there is a heavy concentration of boats selling food items. Having your long boat slowly move through the crowd of food vendor boats gives you a chance to get a brunch (for us), which was bananas, fried coconut, coconut ice cream, mango and sticky rice.
6. Tha Kha Floating Market

Reviewed By Melvin M - Singapore, Singapore
Our guide took us to this floating market instead of the larger one. And indeed it is small! So small that there were only like 10 boats of vendors. But they were busy! Because there were locals actually buying stuff and eating from the cooking the vendors did on the boats. Its an authentic scene.
And more so were the canals. Because there are less tourists, the boat ride was so much more pleasant. Our boat ride took us through the networks and past the homes of the people living in this area collecting coconut nectar.
There is a food area under which a few stalls sell food and drink. But they are not restaurants. Definitely a better experience than the crowded floating markets but it depends on your preference of "ambience".
7. Malai Ostrich Farm

The farm is big and there are lots of animals including crocodiles, ostrich, parrots and deer.
The food in the restaurant is quite expensive, portions are big. Beware of the final bill as it might be just the locals trying to rip you off. Always check their calculations.

Collected from hotel by Khun Jenn and taken to the Maeklng railway market to buy ingredients. Arrived at the right time to witness the excitement of the train arriving and the store holders quickly packing their goods away. Then to an old home in a coconut plantation for cooking school. It was very informative and the end results very tasty. If you aren't really a cook, Khun Jenn is on hand to help you out. Really good experience. Thanks Jenn.
9. King Rama II Memorial Park

The park is nice to walk around and the various traditional houses tell you about local life during the Rattanakosin period. There are also statues around the park depicting scenes from Thai literature. Worth a visit if you want a break from the crowds at the floating market.
10. Tao Hong Tai Ceramics

Following a company week-end in Ratchaburi we stopped at the Tao Hong Tai Ceramic Factory. It is really a most amazing blend of creative art work and practical ceramics. At the entrance there is this enormous statue of an Alien figure - in ceramics. In the same area are many garden sculptures with pastel colours blending in with the natural surroundings or standing out in stark contrast. Inside the actual factory there are various demonstrations going on from huge pots to collect rain water to Chinese jars and tiny figurenes. For a pleasant few hours wandering around the property looking for unique pottery items for garden and home it is well worth a visit
