Khlong Mahasawat Boat Tour in Nakhon Pathom - Agro Tourism In Rural Thailand 2024
Thailand is much more than beautiful islands, beaches and temples, Thailand offers some of the most intrinsically Thai aspects of its culture, its rural and agricultural traditions and close village communities.
The Ministry of Tourism and Sports joined forces with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives to promote agro tourism, also known as agritourism. This collaboration was initiated in August 2015 with four pilot destinations, Khlong Mahasawat in Nakhon Pathom being the closest to Bangkok.
Agro tourism is intended to boost rural communities looking for new streams of income, which will help ensure their survival.
The canal is one of many that crisscrosses the province, and was dug 156 years ago to connect Khlong Bangkok Noi with the Nakhon Chaisi River. The construction, from 1860-1862, was ordered by King Rama IV, and when the waterway opened it made accessible nearly 32 sq km of fertile farmland. Agro tours here are by long-tail boats, which visit fruit orchards, lotus farms and orchid plantations.
Khlong Mahasawat’s agro attractions are best seen in the morning to avoid the heat of the day. Long-tail boats leave from the local temple, Wat Suwannaram.
The cost is 350 Baht for the boat and 80 Baht per person that allows access to the stops along the canal like the lotus pond and orchid farm. The local canal side market has many snacks and local foods to sample as well. It’s worth a half day of your time and you will be away from the crowds of the floating markets. It’s a great way to see and experience rural Thailand.
