Leave Bangkok for Samut Songkhram and visit Wat Bang Kung, a Buddhist temple covered by large trees and one of the Unseen Thailand landmarks. Its old ordination hall houses a large Buddha image that villagers call Luangpho Bot Noi, with late Ayutthaya-period murals showing the Buddha preaching to his disciples.

Next, visit the Mangrove Forest Conservation Centre. Mangroves are a vital part of the coastal ecosystem, and by planting young trees on the muddy riverbanks you help protect an environment shared by animals and people.

Board a longtail boat to explore the mangrove forest and stop to feed the troops of wild monkeys along the banks with bananas. Some may even swim to the boat for their treat. Back at the pier, lunch is served at a seafood restaurant before you return to your hotel in Bangkok.
