08.00 AM:  train to Bang Pa-In.

Also visit Wat Nivet, located on a small island in the middle of the river, it is the only Buddhist temple in Thailand built in the style of a Christian church. Afterwards take a long-tail boat and cruise along the Chao Phraya River for half an hour to the community of Ban Ko Kerd. Have lunch at your riverside homestay.

After lunch, take a cycling tour to visit the Ko Kerd Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Centre which promotes traditional farming methods so that rural communities can learn how to become self-sufficient, an essential element in the King’s economic “suffiency” programme. This programme focuses strongly on organic farming techniques in order to protect the environment and health of the farmers. The families taking part in this project are all connected with the nearby Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Centre and have formed a model village to which farmers come from all over the country to learn these farming methods and take them back to their own communities. After touring the Study Centre you can visit some of the families in the village and see these farming methods put into practise.

Return to your homestay in the late afternoon with time to relax before having dinner with your host family and other members of the local community. The cycling today will only be about 10 kms.
