Full Description

Experience a unique journey aboard a Thai train, enjoying beautiful scenery along the way to Maeklong Railway Market, a world-famous hidden gem. This local fresh market sits directly on the railway tracks, offering an unforgettable sight when the train whistle sounds. Vendors swiftly fold back their umbrellas and move their stalls aside, allowing the train to pass remarkably close by. Discover the traditional riverside way of life at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Thailand’s most famous floating market. Take a boat ride through the lively waterways and sample freshly prepared local food sold directly from the boats.

Explore Tham Khao Luang Cave, a large cave in the heart of Phetchaburi, adorned with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Marvel at sunlight streaming through openings in the cave ceiling and illuminating the floor like a spotlight, creating a truly spectacular scene. Visit Phra Nakhon Khiri, Thailand’s first hilltop royal palace, a remarkable historical park built during the reign of King Rama IV.

Maeklong Railway Market

If you are looking for an experience filled with local charm and a unique sense of excitement, Maeklong Railway Market is a must-visit. This bustling local fresh market is set directly along the railway tracks, creating a thrilling experience as the train passes right through the heart of the market.

As the train slowly approaches, vendors quickly fold away their umbrellas and skillfully pull their displays back from the tracks, all within just a few seconds. The train then moves slowly through the market, passing just centimeters away from the stalls and visitors watching from the side. Excited visitors eagerly raise their cameras to capture this unique moment.

As soon as the last carriage passes, the umbrellas are opened again and the stalls are moved back into place, as if nothing had happened.

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Take a long-tail boat along the canals and experience the local way of life as you pass traditional wooden houses on stilts and lush coconut groves. Meet vendors carrying a variety of fresh tropical fruits and handmade souvenirs in their small paddle boats.

Along the way, try freshly cooked Pad Thai prepared right on the boat, along with fragrant and creamy coconut pancakes, mango sticky rice, and refreshing fresh coconut juice straight from the coconut.

Tham Khao Luang Cave

Tham Khao Luang Cave is another historic attraction in Phetchaburi. Inside the cave, beautiful Buddha images are enshrined beneath the natural sunlight streaming through an opening in the cave ceiling, creating a magnificent golden beam that shines down onto the cave floor.

This heavenly ray of light is one of the unique charms of Tham Khao Luang Cave. The best time to admire this spectacular sight is between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, when the golden beam shines beautifully into the cave.

Phra Nakhon Khiri

Phra Nakhon Khiri is a magnificent summer palace built during the reign of King Rama IV. Explore the elegant historic site perched atop three hilltops, featuring royal halls, residences, a temple, and various other buildings. Its architecture combines Neoclassical influences with Thai and Chinese artistic styles, making it the first mountain palace in Thailand.

One of the highlights not to be missed is the Chatchawan Wiang Chai Tower, a tall, two-story circular building topped with a glass-domed roof. The tower offers a spectacular viewpoint overlooking Phra Nakhon Khiri and the beautiful city of Phetchaburi.
