RATT'S SUGGESTIONS

Need advise, just received an e-mail back from Ratt. We will be going to the floating market, she also suggested on going to Wat Sathathum, Wat Bang Kae Noi, and Kai Bang Khung. I have not seen any information on these places and I'm wondering if it worth to include them on our trip. Has any one been to any of these places?

This isn't really answering your question, but we have Ratt for 2 days coming up next month..

We are doing the floating market one day (have been before 10 years ago)and are just leaving the rest of the day open incase something interesting comes up..

And the next day we are doing the Grand Palace and Jim Thompson house..and also see if something exciting comes up that day too...

the day she took us to the floating market she suggested a number of places....most we passed on but we did do a few....we were gone 13 hours and it was a fantastic day....after the market we did the pottery barn, the royal wood crafts workshop then on to river kwai and a its museum....a couple of other stops there then up towards the myanmar border and a pre historic museum and then back to bkk after visiting a khmer temple park

I agree. Ratt is extremely flexible and we changed our itinerary several times in mid-drive.

If you go to the Porcelain workshops, you will be amazed at the wonderful detail work. We bought a souvenir cup and saucer in the less expensive shop that is really beautiful.

i found the most interesting part of the pottery shed was the forming of huge pots (throwing) and the largest kiln i had ever seen plus the small trees used to create the heat...the small shop there has fantastic buys...

Thank you for your reply, now is the porcelain workshop the same as the Benjarong Factory?

they did have a small section where they were making the benj. pottery....i am not sure if they are the same but i suspect so...ask ratt if they make both benj. and huge pots like would decorate a hotel swimming pool area... then i think it is the same...
