Amphawa is a town on the canals of Samut Songkhram province, south-west of Bangkok, and it is best known for its floating market. Vendors sell food and crafts from boats and from stalls along the banks, and shops line the streets around the market. The pace of the town is far slower than in Bangkok, with temples, small museums and parks spread across the district, so the area works well for a relaxed stay away from the capital's traffic.

The Amphawa Floating Market is 550 m from the hotel, and the Amphawa Bus Station is 400 m away. The Amphawa Thai Dessert Museum and King Rama II Memorial Park are also close by, and the King Rama II Museum is in the same area. Further afield, Wat Bang Kung temple is 2.7 km away, and the Maeklong Railway Market, where a train runs through the stalls, is 4.9 km away.

A day here can combine the floating market with King Rama II Memorial Park and the Amphawa Thai Dessert Museum, then continue to Maeklong for the railway market. Wat Bang Kung temple also fits into a longer day around the town. For a slower day, a walk along the canals and a visit to the temples in town make a relaxed alternative to the floating market.
