Amphawa is a canal town in Samut Songkhram province, in central Thailand, where old wooden houses line the waterways and daily life follows the canals rather than the main roads. The town is quieter than Bangkok and draws visitors mainly for its markets and temples, so it suits a slower stay with the water close at hand. Thienhom Amphawa Resort sits in the town itself, which keeps the canals and the sights close.

Wat Bot, a temple 500 m from the resort, is the closest sight, and a monument, Somdet Phrachao Taksin Maharat, is 700 m away. The Amphawa Thai Dessert Museum is 2.3 km away, and the Bang Noi Floating Market lies further along the canals. Amphawa Floating Market, 2.7 km from the resort, is the best-known of the markets, where vendors sell food and goods from boats along the canal. Guests who drive can use the free parking at the resort to reach the markets and the museum.

A typical day could begin at Wat Bot, continue to the Amphawa Thai Dessert Museum, then visit the floating markets, and end with a boat ride along the canals, the classic way to see them. The boat ride also passes the old wooden houses along the water, which are a large part of the town's character.
