So I have decided (Me, the Misses and our 12 Year daughter) to visit the Samut Songkhram Train market during our Thailand vacation.
Booked through Expedia the Ardea resort Pool Villa for 2 nights.
By rental Car from Bangkok Suvarnabumi Airport our GPS leads us to Samut Songkhram, but can not find the Ardea Resort.
Stopped at another Hotel and inquired, upon which the Receptionist calls the Ardea Resort.
“Just wait here, someone will come to get you” and sure enough some 10 Minutes later a Gentleman pulls up in his car and leads us to the nearby Resort.
We are assigned a large, spotless clean Room by the Pool.
A few minutes later 2 ladies knock at our Door and deliver some tasty cake with candles, signing “Happy Birthday” for our daughter recently turned 12 Years.
Upon inquiring where to have dinner, we are lead by the owner/Manager gentleman via the back of the Hotel to a Restaurant directly by the canal for a great Thai Dinner.
Next morning, knock-knock and we get stuffed by a splendid breakfast directly by the Pool, overstuffed.
How to get to the Train market? The owner offers and then takes us all in his car smack to where it all happens and waits nearby till we have seen it all. No, it’s not over, we are then chauffeured to the Siam Cats sanctuary and the Temple in a Tree, all compliments by the owner.
When I inquire to pay for this serves I am refused “It’s our pleasure”
Next morning again a plentiful breakfast before we are on our way.
We will never forget this expe
