What to expect

Embark on a tour that not only offers an enriching experience but also contributes positively to local communities. This journey provides an opportunity for skilled local floral artisans, who typically lack the means to learn English, to teach their craft to foreign guests, thereby enhancing their language skills and earning income simultaneously.

Your adventure begins with a stroll through a bustling flower market, where you'll be captivated by the vast selection of blooms. Following this, you'll participate in a lotus folding workshop led by a local vendor, offering a hands-on experience of traditional Thai craftsmanship. The tour then takes you to the serene Kalayanamitr Temple, a harmonious blend of Thai and Chinese Buddhism, providing a tranquil respite amidst your exploration.

The highlight of your day will undoubtedly be the 60-minute floral workshop. Here, you'll master the art of creating a Thai flower garland under the guidance of local artisans. The challenge lies in aligning threading numerous Thai jasmines onto a skewer without losing track - a task that requires patience and precision.

Your cultural immersion continues with a visit to the Baan Kudi Chin Museum (closed on Mondays), an educational hub that sheds light on the Siam-Portuguese lineage. To ensure your convenience and peace of mind throughout this journey, the tour includes a private English-speaking guide, comfortable transportation, and travel insurance.
