Grassroutes Amphawa

Back to the roots

Grassroutes Amphawa is a full day (or multi-day) experience that takes on a slow-life journey to Samut Sonkghram, the smallest yet one of the most serene and picturesque provinces in Thailand. Explore coastal trading centers as you travel by train to the infamous Maeklong Train Market. However, you’ll be going far beyond the tourist attractions.

Since Samut Songkhram is dubbed the Last Venice of Thailand you will join us traveling up the Maeklong river in your private boat to old river-front communities to enjoy the nature, rural heritage and way of life through the lens of agriculture and waterborne trade. Experience the DNA of Samut Songkhram connected to story of our founder’s 95-year old grandmother to explore off the beaten path and trace the old world when Michael’s grandmother was a young lady. Lets keep the memory of the old days alive, celebrate the heritage of the Maeklong River basin and swap modern city life for a unique and memorable time in the rural heart of Thailand.

TESTIMONIALS

Suffice to say the scenery was stunning, we travelled through wonderful quiet roads and tracks. Chatted to locals, stopped off at local farmers, snacks and breaks whenever you want, finished up back at the base camp. This tour really is a wonderful day. This is a relatively small organisation trying, and in my experience successfully delivering high quality experiences which offer good value for money. If you want something a bit different groups like the vanguards really should be one of your key places to go.

Impressive Insights and Amazing Places. I did the one-day Back2Basics tour with my parents and still can't get over my amazement. We have been to many breath-taking places such as seafood and floating markets, temples and hidden resorts, cities and landscapes - both crowded and empty.

We have done many tours all over the world. If you want something different away from the normal tourist trail to see the real life and meet Thai people please use this company. Last year we did the 360 tour around Bangkok city, this year the two day bike tour staying overnight... amazing!! Can't wait to come back next year and see where the team will take us...thank you ... so memorable!
