Hotel Pick-Up in Hua Hin/Cha-Am

Your adventure begins with a convenient hotel pick-up in Hua Hin or Cha-Am. Relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as we journey towards one of Thailand’s most iconic floating markets.

Visit to the Floating Market

Embark on an unforgettable journey to one of Thailand’s famous floating markets. Cruise through scenic canals in a traditional long-tailed boat, passing quaint Thai houses and lush tropical landscapes. Upon arrival at the bustling market, you’ll find small boats brimming with coconut pancakes, palm sugar, souvenirs, sun hats, and an array of exotic fruits like pomelo, rambutan, and durian—offering a vibrant feast of colors, aromas, and flavors. Take time to explore the lively atmosphere, interact with local vendors, and experience the traditional way of life along the waterways.

Journey to Petchaburi

After the floating market, we head to one of Thailand’s oldest cities, Petchaburi. Known for its rich history and stunning architecture, Petchaburi offers a glimpse into Thailand’s royal and cultural heritage. Following a delightful lunch featuring authentic Thai cuisine, we visit two must-see attractions.

Phra Nakhon Khiri (Khao Wang)

Our first stop is the majestic Phra Nakhon Khiri, also known as the summer palace, perched high atop a mountain overlooking Petchaburi. This historical complex was once a royal retreat for Kings Mongkut and Chulalongkorn in the 1800s. Today, it serves as a museum showcasing regal architecture, artifacts, and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Ascend the mountain via cable car, offering a unique perspective compared to the traditional methods of elephants and horses used in the past.

Khao Luang Cave

The final highlight of the day is the serene yet awe-inspiring Khao Luang Cave. As we descend the 100 steps into the cave, a mystical subterranean world unfolds. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and Buddha statues are illuminated by beams of sunlight streaming through natural openings above. Outside the cave, you may encounter playful monkeys, adding to the charm of this remarkable site.

Return to Hua Hin

In the late afternoon, we return to Hua Hin, enriched with memories of a day filled with unique sights, cultural experiences, and stunning natural beauty.
