Amphawa (Samut Songkhram) is a canal town in central Thailand, where life runs along the waterways and the old houses face the water. The guesthouse sits in the town itself, so the market, the temples and the local shops are close by, and the area appeals to visitors who want a small Thai town rather than a large city. The pace is slower than in Bangkok, and the streets are easy to explore on foot.

The Amphawa Floating Market is 550 m away, the main draw here, where you can sample street food and browse local handicrafts. The Amphawa Bus Station is 400 m away, and the King Rama II Memorial Park, which honours the king, is 800 m away. Nearby temples include Wat Phraya Yat Rue Wat Pak Ngam, and the Maeklong Railway Market, where the train runs through the stalls, is 4.9 km away.

Start the day at the floating market, then head to the King Rama II Memorial Park and the King Rama II Museum, and finish with a look at the temples nearby. For a longer outing, the Maeklong Railway Market is worth a visit, since it is one of the best-known markets in the area.
