Itinerary

  1. Khao Wang or Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park is a notable tourist site in Petchaburi Province; it is the symbol of the province. Khao Wang is very outstanding and obviously be seen from a far distance, including the white chedi and buildings. Khao Wang is the ancient remains of Petchaburi Province which are located on the 92-meter-high mountain. We will take the Cable Car to go to the Top of the Mountain.

    1 hAdmission included

  2. Centrally located, gleaming white Wat Mahathat is one impressive temple. The showpiece is a 42m-tall five-tiered Ayuthaya-style prang (corn-cob shaped stupa) decorated in stucco relief, a specialty of Phetchaburi’s local artisans you'll see all over town. Inside the wí·hăhn (sanctuary) that fronts it are important, though highly damaged, early-20th-century murals.

    1 hAdmission included

  3. About 4km north of town is Khao Luang Cave, a dramatic stalactite-stuffed cavern that's one of Thailand’s most impressive cave shrines, and a favorite of King Rama IV when he was a monk. Accessed via steep stairs, it's lit by a heavenly glow every morning (clouds permitting) when sunbeams filter in through the natural skylight.

  • 5Great small group tour!

    Wonderful experience! Our tour group was nice and small, 3 couples and we were all from Canada which was great! Worra, our guide was excellent. Very informative! The time spent at each location was good and our stop for lunch on the way back to the hotel was delicious. We are vegetarian - they had prepared some lovely dishes with tofu! The cave was the main reason I wanted to check this out and it did not disappoint.

  • 5Wora was our guide and...

    Wora was our guide and was wonderful and very knowledgeable about all the locations we visited. The location where we had lunch was delicious (and not too spicy). All in all a great experience. Love to Wora she did a great job. Robert Lange 3-12-2026 😀👍👌

  • 1Poor customer service!!!

    I tried to book this excursion but got no confirmation and it didnt appear in my bookings , so I made alternative plans. Less than 24hrs before the tour operator called to confirm obviously I couldn't go because I'd made other plans. They had tried to email me but this had failed because I had a postmaster notice sometime later telling me so, they would have got one at the time. The tour operator and trip advisor wont refund me as it was less than 24 hours the trip time. Talk about poor customer service.

  • 5Great DayExploring.

    Pick up was prompt from the hotel. Naree, our guide, was very informative, easy to understand and a joy to be around. The summer palace was interesting, especially the scenery around it. The stop at Wat Mahathat was good and we were able to make offerings. The icing on the cake was Khao Luang Cave! Lunch, following, was really tasty. The people in our group really made the day special!!

About Hua Hin

Hua Hin is an old Thai seaside resort on the Gulf of Thailand, with a royal past, a night market, fishing piers and long beaches.

Hua Hin is a seaside town in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, on the west side of the Gulf of Thailand about 200 kilometres south of Bangkok. Thai royalty began building seaside palaces here in the 1920s, which gave the town its first fame as a resort, and Klai Kangwon Palace still stands nearby. The railway station, a Thai-style wooden building, dates from that era, and a fishing pier runs out beside the main beach.

Top-ranked sights in Hua Hin: Vana Nava Water Jungle, Hua Hin Artist Village (Baan Sillapin).
