Private Floating Market and Petchaburi excursion
Private Floating Market and Petchaburi excursion.
One of the highlights of the trip is the Floating Market. To reach the market, we sail by long-tailed boat through the canals, between the small Thai houses. When we get there, it is swarmed with small boats filled with coconut pancakes, palm sugar, sun hats, souvenirs and much more. Buy exotic fruits that you never knew existed, like pomelo, rambutan and durian.
We then head to one of Thailand’s oldest cities, Petchaburi. After lunch we stop twice by attractions that are a “must” for those visiting the beautiful city.
The majestic, old summer palace spreads out on top of the mountain high above the town, so everyone can admire the beauty of the palace. Today the palace is a museum, but the Thai Kings Mongkut and Chulalongkorn used the palace for long periods in the 1800s. Back then, you got to the mountain and the palace by horse or elephant, but today we take the cable car up the mountain.
The end of the day is both peaceful and magnificent. We walk the 100 steps into the Khao Luang cave, where a subterranean world is opening. The cave is enchanting with its stalactite formations, Buddha statues and sunlight cutting through the ceiling of the cave.
Outside the monkeys are playing and looking curiously at us. We might have something edible in our pocket!
During the afternoon we head home to Hua Hin filled with new experiences to digest.
