Travel will be by public transport, such as the Thai motored-trishaw, the so-called samlor or tuk tuk, BTS Sky Train, taxi, etc. The guide will act only as an escort to encourage clients to interact with Bangkokers as much as possible. Afterwards visit Jim Thompson's magnificent Thai-style house which contains an extensive collection of art objects and antiques. A night market walk is also possible as an option.
Day 3: Bangkok (B/-/-)
Transfer to the Thai Language School for 2 hours more basic-Thai language tuition. Then take BTS Skytrain to connect with a public express boat running along Chao Phraya River to Ta Chang market for a short walk through the market to Silpakorn University of Arts. Meet students of the university and have a tour around the campus to learn about the Thai student activities (this activity might not be possible during the exam period). Afterwards take a tuk tuk ride to visit the lively Pak Klong Talad, a wholesale market where huge varieties of flowers and vegetables are sold. Then cruise in a long-tailed motorboat, to witness the scenic life of the people who live along Bangkok's waterways, to Ruan Khun Yai, the house of Thai family who will offer you a Thai herbal drink as a welcoming gesture.
