Itinerary

Day 1

Bangkok

Arrive in Bangkok, you will be met and transferred to your Hotel.

 

Day 2

Bangkok (B)

Discover three of Bangkok’s most iconic Buddhist temples, an ideal introduction for first-time visitors. Visit Wat Pho, Bangkok’s largest temple complex, home to the magnificent Reclining Buddha and the Chedis of the Kings. Explore Wat Traimit and admire the world-famous Golden Buddha, an impressive 5.5-ton solid gold statue. Experience Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), Thailand’s most sacred Buddhist temple, located within the Grand Palace complex.

Day 3

Bangkok – Rayong (B/L)

Depart for Rayong, a province along Thailand's eastern Gulf coastline where fertile wetlands, fishing villages and coastal forests have shaped local life for centuries. As you leave the city behind, the scenery gradually changes to rolling countryside, fruit orchards, coconut groves and peaceful coastal landscapes, offering a glimpse of a slower pace of life.
Upon arrival, discover one of Thailand's most remarkable wetland ecosystems, often referred to as the "Thai Everglades." Board a traditional sampan for a peaceful cruise through this rich biosphere, gliding past colourful lotus ponds before entering the enchanting golden mangrove forests. Continue with a scenic boat excursion and a walk along an elevated boardwalk, where these unique mangroves reveal their vital role in protecting the coastline and supporting the region's rich biodiversity.
Later, arrive at your riverside homestay in the historic fishing village of Pak Nam Prasae. Dating back to the Ayutthaya period, this charming coastal settlement has long thrived on fishing and trade thanks to its strategic location between the Prasae River and the Gulf of Thailand. Today, it remains a welcoming community where traditional livelihoods, local culture and a close connection to the sea continue to define daily life.
