Nopparat Garden Hotel sits in Amphawa, a canal town in Samut Songkhram province in central Thailand. Life here follows the waterways, with boats moving along the canals and the town's markets set beside the water. The pace is slower than in Bangkok, and canal life is easy to see up close.

Wat Chan Charoen Suk, a pagoda, is 500 m from the hotel, and Wat Kaeo Fa, another pagoda, lies 900 m away. The Amphawa Floating Market, 2.5 km off, is one of the best-known floating markets in the area, with food sellers working from boats along the canal. The Maeklong Railway Market, 2.7 km away, is a market set on a railway line, where trains pass through the stalls. Guests who arrive by car can use the free parking on site when heading out to these sights.

A day can start with a boat trip along the canals, as the hotel offers boating and tours, and continue with the markets in the afternoon. The Amphawa Thai Dessert Museum and a memorial park dedicated to King Rama II are also nearby, so a museum can be added to the day. The canals and the markets sit side by side, so the two can be combined in a single trip.
