Overview
Day 1: Bangkok to Suphan Buri to Uthai Thani (D) Depart Bangkok Hotels and drive north to Suphan Buri visiting the city pillar shrine, built in Chinese style, then continue to an orchid farm. Next stop is the 100 years old Sam Chuk riverside market - influenced by Chinese architecture, these modest shops are full of charm and character. Enjoy exploring the market and be sure look out for the photograph shop which still takes pictures with a century-old camera and take some time for Thai coffee by the river. Then proceed to Wat Tasung Temple, the biggest and most famous temple in Uthai Thani, serving as Buddhist meditation center. Enjoy a boat ride on the Sakaekrang River and relax as you watch "river life" in many forms. From typical raft houses of the local fishermen to their fish farms built on the river.

Visit Wat Tham Khao Wong, a Buddhist temple built in 1987 with its two-story Thai-style hall and unique landscape. Further onwards is the Lao-Krang community, whose ancestors migrated from Laos hundred years ago and brought with them unique silk weaving tradition and patterns. Then proceed to Hub Pa Tad Valley, surrounded by the old limestone mountains. Explore the hidden forest of rare big palm trees that resemble "Jurassic Park". Overnight: Country Lake Nature Lodge Day 3: Bung Boraphet Swamp to Ayutthaya to Bangkok (B,L) After breakfast, proceed to Nakorn Sawan province, the gateway to the North of Thailand.
