About Us

How it all came to be…

Bigcountry Vacation is a Bangkok sightseeing tour company that specializes in tours for people that generally do not like to take tours. Our clientele is very independent and likes to venture to places where most tour companies do not. Due to the small size of our groups, our tours offer a distinct “traveling with friends” feel where most people interact with each other and we are able to visit locations larger vehicles do not.

We are fully insured and licensed by Bureau of Tourism Business and Guide Registration, Department of Tourism.

We train all of our guides one-on-one to make sure that they are knowledgeable, courteous and most of all, safe. We test drivers on a periodical basis on their knowledge of the areas we visit. We also maintain a training program and a resource library for guides to stay current on relevant material.

We carefully select the locations we explore on our tours to maximize your time and see the best of the best always maintaining an adventurous, yet easy-going atmosphere. On our tours we have a comfortable amount of time where you are with the group but we also give you enough time on your own so you can choose from different activities that interest you such as hiking, shopping, museums or just taking in the beauty.

We know you work hard all year to take a vacation so we make sure to do everything in our power to make your tour a memory you’ll treasure for a lifetime!

Glide through the water on a wooden rowboat while seeing vendors’ paddle boats piled with fragrant lotus blossoms, coconuts and handicrafts, selling their wares in a palm-lined canal. You will get to absorb the local scene and learn about the tradition of water commuting.

Afterwards, you will be visiting an authentic Thai house and see how the locals make brown coconut sugar. Then, take a visit to Wat Bang Kung which was once a navy campsite during the reign of King Taksin the Great. Following the second defeat of the Ayutthaya kingdom in 1767, the king relocated his navy to this campsite. The temple is honored as one of the unseen temples of Thailand. After an enjoyable day, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Bangkok.

PROGRAM 4 : PRIVATE TOUR TO AMPAWA FLOATING MARKET ” THE RIVERWALK ”
Your day will begin with a pickup form your hotel.
We will then take a visit to Wat Bangkoong, honored as one of the unseen temples of Thailand. Wat Bangkoong is a Buddhist temple with a large statue of Nin Mani Buddha inside. Locals and people from further afield come to worship here to honor Luang Phor Dum from the late Ayutthaya kingdom and enjoy the existence of root wood. There is also a mural showing late the Ayutthaya kingdom with Buddha’s stories.

Finally, you will be taken to the Amphawa Floating Market – also known as the River Walk. This afternoon-only floating market is located near a temple, Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram. On the weekends, the Amphawa Canal brims with boats loaded with drinks like O-Liang (Thai iced black coffee) and food such as fried sea mussels, noodles, and sweets. Bank-side wheelbarrows also offer goods for sale. Visitors can explore the market, tasting the local food, as well as hire a boat at night to watch as pretty fireflies light up the air.
In 2008, the Khlong Amphawa community was granted an Honorable Mention Award from the UNESCO Asia–Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation as a result of its efforts to preserve the local culture and architecture.

Once the tour is complete, you will be taken back to your hotel.
