8.30 am Pick up from your hotel in Hua-Hin city and travel to Phetchaburi Province.
Begin by visiting the Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park, Phetchaburi's most well-known Landmark, locally known as Khao Wang (Palace Hill), which is located on the three peaks of a 95-meter high verdant hill in the city. It was built under the royal command of King Rama IV to become his summer palace, finished in 1860.
Go to Khao Luang Cave, a 100 years old temple and a place of worship. The worship place is found in the mountains, which were built on a small hill with a height of only 92 metres.
Get learning experiences from locals living at the oldest Petchaburi Riverside Market, enjoy taking photos of the street art at the old market, taste street food and the famous Khao-Chae - Rice in ice water (It’s one of the traditional Thai food for summertime).
Then, head to Wat Mahathad Temple, which is a Royal Temple built in the 11th -13th Century. The large complex is surrounded by a wall with several large elaborate entrance gates. The Wat Mahathat Worawihan comprises five large prangs, a viharn, an ubosot, several chedis, the Kuti and several other monastic buildings. Most eye-catching are the five white prangs towering above the area that is visible from much of Phetchaburi town. The temple is also known for its extensive fine stucco work.
Relax with the unique coffee and chit chat with the Local barista at Mokapot Kaffee, the café’ on the local truck (Mobile Coffee shop), enjoy a great view of the countryside.
Next, proceed to Wat Huay Mongkol, famous for its enormous statue of one of Thailand’s most famous monks, named Luang Phor Thuad. The statue, which is about 12 meters tall and 10 meters wide, is set on a large mound. This place is very popular with Thai people from all over the country, who come here to pay respect to Luang Phor Thuad and to ask for things such as favours, good luck, health, fortune and happiness.
