Approximately 9.30am. the tour's first stop will be at Jee Tek Lim Temple. Constructed in Chinese architectural style based on Mahayana Buddhist beliefs and Feng Shui, the site is considered to be the centre of learning for Thai-Chinese Buddhism. Of particular interest to Thai people is that it also has a constant program to support schools by funding lunches, school supplies, and hygiene products.
Several deities and Bodhisattvas according to Chinese beliefs can also be found in the compound, which also has a beautiful glimmering golden image of the Lord Buddha.
Around 10.30am you move to Ban Bang Pluang, where the locals are proud of the Community-based Tourism they have achieved thanks to reed mats produced here. This is also the location you'll enjoy a delicious Thai Set Menu for Lunch, with the highlight being the dessert which is made from bamboo shoots.
By midday it will be time to move on, with the next destination being Wat Khok U Thong, a temple well known to Thai people. Having spent about one hour here it is then off to another famous temple, Wat Thamma Panya.
By 4.00pm. it'll be time to begin the journey back to Bangkok, with one final stop being made along the way at the popular cafe Montreux Cafe & Farm to enjoy its wonderful atmosphere and affordable food and drinks (any purchases here are optional and made at own expense).
