Wat Ban Tham

Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Wat Ban Tham, also known as the Dragons Head Temple, is a unique Buddhist site with a history dating back to the Ayutthaya period. The monastery features nine caves, including two within the monastery itself. Access to the site involves climbing a staircase that enters through a giant dragon's mouth, leading past two natural caves converted into Buddhist chapels. The temple's impressive and colorful architecture includes a staircase that resembles the body of a dragon and is adorned with temple murals.
Very pretty place with a beautiful stair leasing to a temple cave. Inside the dragon is written the legend of the cave. It's not too hard to go to the cave and the views are beautiful. Inside the cave you can take a long stairs to the top of the mountains for the view and golden chedi, this part is harder. It takes 1h30 to explore everything. Not crowded at all and snacks and restaurants at the bottom. The only downside is that it's hard to get there. You have two use Grab or your own transportation. Free to explore.

We visited this temple quite late afternoon. Not crowded and no shop opens. We just taking walk around then came back, not hide to 5 destinations of temple. The temple was designed as a dragon. With head chamber, neck, body....tail. Head with the open mouth is the way to begin 1st destination...tail is end with the viewpoint from mountain. Parking is front. Lots of dogs there but they are very friendly. Free entry ticket.

We came here on 26 July 2025. Lots of steps up to the dragon’s cave. Wear comfortable shoes. Unfortunately the temple area is not well maintained. Many parts can be improved.
Christopher L — Google review
Such a beautiful temple and well worth the hike up. Although it is a little tiring with the steps, the views and the temple at the top of the hill will leave you amazed. The dragon head entrance was also interesting to see and I really enjoyed looking at the frescoes engraved on the side of the walls. Definitely recommended if you are in the Kanchanaburi area.

Around 2km hike. 1st part is very easy and end with a big cave. If you go higher you can see the whole area. Very beautiful scenary. Entrance free and very good people in the starting point. Not very famous tourist attraction. But if you like hiking this is a good place in kanchanaburi.
Ramesh N — Google review
Lovely temple with many steps especially if you go right to the top but the views are worth the climb. Take a slight detour near the very top to go into another smaller cave. There's a rope to help you get down to the stairs. Worth the extra few minutes.

Wow 😮 so so beautiful walking inside the dragon 🐉 very unique temple !!
Joseph O — Google review
To explore this temple involved a lot of stairs hiking, but it is quite rewarding as well. There is already a temple compound at the foothill. Up the stairs and you will meet with a dragon, and enter a dragon. There is a temple mid hill which offer a great view of the surroundings. You can enter a cave which host a large golden Buddha. Continue going up from the cave will lead to a golden Stupa at the top, an amazing place to chill and take on the positive energy of the temple.

Wat Tham Suea

Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Perched atop a majestic hill, Wat Tham Suea, also known as the Tiger Cave Temple, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. The temple complex features multiple architectural wonders including several towers and pagodas of various styles. The highlight is an 18-meter-tall golden Buddha statue that dominates the Kanchanaburi landscape. Visitors can spend at least an hour exploring the elegant sanctuary and climbing up two towers, an orange pagoda, and a Chinese tower for panoramic vistas.
This was my first time visiting Wat Tham Sue, and I was blown away. The massive golden Buddha is even more impressive in real life than in photos. The temple stays on a hilltop with 360° views of green rice fields and mountains. I went in the afternoon and the light was perfect for photos. The climb up the stairs wasn’t too difficult, but I’d recommend using cable car, which costs 40 baht per round. The architecture is a mix of Thai and Chinese styles, with colorful details and a peaceful vibe. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Kanchanaburi 👍🏻👍🏻

The Tiger Cave Temple is stunning, with its giant golden Buddha statue and panoramic views over the countryside. The stair climb is worth it – at the top you’re rewarded with breathtaking scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. A must-visit when exploring Kanchanaburi.

I came unprepared and late at 4pm. When I got down around 5:30 the temple was closed, everyone was gone, my phone was dying and there was no taxis or motorbikes in the area taking jobs. Inside the cave had lights but they weren’t working so it wasn’t great inside and coukdnt take pics of the statue. Also quite dangerous. The top was lovely, great view. Also there are toilets at the top and halfway point, so if you need to go, hold on til you find them! I was carrying a child up and down and it was pretty hectic.. some of the stairs are very very steep. Make sure you have had enough food earlier in the day, your legs will be trembling afterwards. The cute puppies all around were a delight.

The temple we made our second visit from six years ago, recently they have an elevator in construction the time we went on June2025. It's worth going up, the huge Buddha architecture is stunning and the peaceful rice fields view from above are all the elements that made me want to come pay a visit again.

if you’re up for a serious climb, excited by views and meditation, and respectful of the temple’s spiritual side. It’s a sweaty, tough trek—but the summit will leave you feeling accomplished, energized, and more than a little inspired.

Stunning temple with views all around. Car lift not working so steps it is 10 mins up. Worth going for sure
M D — Google review
Merzkhem is full of stairs. For those who don't want to climb it all, there is a kind of train that goes up the stairs. Inside the temples there are more stairs that can go all the way to the top. It's worth going up and seeing everything. Anyone who has a problem with stairs shouldn't try it. It's much faster, which is a shame because it's very beautiful, but you have to climb a lot of stairs.

Unique museum displaying a large array of vintage vehicles, including cars, motorbikes & planes.
Actually this is a huge area. Old car displays are only 1 portion. Before reaching the car displays, there are 2 old train engines. There also old planes which I did not visit. The displays are placed like junk yard which collect dust and rust. It need a good mechanic to salvage and refurbished to properly give the old machine some life as a museum.

Great place for those into cars and motorcycles. Go up the road a little bit on the left they are starting up an aviation section. As you leave the main automobile area keep looking to the right looks like they are getting big trucks and construction vehicles. For serious photographers bring a polarizing lense. The light from the outside creates glare and unwanted light. Much improvements since my last time there 4 years ago Admission is the same for Thai and Foreigners FREE!!!#
Kev C — Google review
Great place and completely free. We detoured on our way from Rayong up to Kanchanaburi but it was nearly on route. There are plenty of cars to look around (but not to get into) with some rare ones like s DeLorean. There is not any AC and there are vendors outside selling the usual Thai food which I am sure is welcome. I will go back again but if you're not a car or motorbike fan it's not going to hold much interest for you.
Colin M — Google review
A little far from the city. You'll have to get a return taxi or rent a car/bike. Excellent collection of cars, bikes and a bunch of children's pedal cars. You'll also find a strange collection of planes and a locomotive also. Worth the trip for any petrol head. But summer visits can be killer. It's a massive shed and it can be kinda hot despite lots of fans. Star attractions include unusual cars like a set of Citroen 2CV in every color, a Delorean and an amphibious car among the Mustang, Minis and Japanese land yatches. Bangladeshi visitors will need surprised to find rickshaws taken all the way from.....well, Bangladesh.

This vintage car collection belong to private businesses man who fond of vintage car, it is 6 km. from Amphoe Nakorn Chai Sri ( 50 km. from Bangkok). There are three interesting car, the first one is red colored same model shown in a part of popular film ( Jame Bond), he drove this car dived through the water, the second one is the same model of popular film(Back to the future) and the third one is real used during WW2 by SS( Schutzstaffel,a former paramilitary organization in Nazi Germany), a bullet hole shown at the car is strong evidence. This place ( Jesada Technik Museum) welcome visitors free of charge.

I love this market. You enter thru the temple into the market. One can find just about anything other than meat. There are so many local vendors and there is also an eatery place where you can sit beside river. The food is also great. 👍
Tommy O — Google review
We went on a Friday morning and it was not crowded, which was perfect for us. Loved that this market seemed more local than others. Everything is written in thai and the vendors weren't all able to tell me in English what the food was, which was fine for me. The market smelled good of fresh jackfruit, sweet desserts and savoury dishes. There was a nice mix of stalls selling fruits vegetables, baked/cooked dishes and things.
Delphine P — Google review
There are a lot of Thai local food at this market. The prices are reasonable. The parking maybe a bit challenging but was not that bad. The weather was hot and the market could be crowded sometimes. Try the duck, it was good. I spent like 2 hours walking shoping around.
Gemma P — Google review
Easy to get to and worth seeing. Beautifully constructed Temple with open spaces in front used as car parks, under the trees shade and it’s free. Walking into the temple with nice views around is enjoyable. Going further in is a shaded large area that extends alongside the river bank, which is the local market (Fruits and vegetables,etc). There’s also a couple of restaurants (overlooking the river) offering mainly local dishes at reasonable price. Food was good and the atmosphere was good too. For an extra THB20, you can buy a small bag of bread to feed the big fish next to you.

Donwai floating market located nearby Nakornchaisi river opens everyday. There are many fresh fruits, vegetables, foods and desserts and all the prices are reasonable.You can take the boat (pls check with the officer there) along the river. The merchants are kind. The below photos are some of them. The parking lot is plenty but it will be crowded in the weekends. Have fun and enjoy 😁😁

One of my favorite floating market located around 30 km from Bangkok city. I usually visit here on Saturday or Sunday. From toys, plants, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, Thai local snacks until heave meals are availabe here. I like to have lunch in one of restaurants beside river. We also can ride the boat and bring the snacks on the boat. Just buy the boat ticket onsite.

It’s not a dislike, just that there isn’t anything to do here apart from think in your own brain. I wouldn’t pay the coffee shop prices, it’s more expensive than central London, which makes me wonder if the place is legit 😵‍💫😬🤐. I wish them success. For children it could be a nice excursion if they want to learn about Thai heritage, culture and crafts, what they learn I think they could just ask a mother or grandma and try together for a more enjoyable experience.

Beautiful location and grounds. Magnificent lobby and common rooms. This is not a 90s glitz and glamour place, it's a solid, traditional hotel with history and class in the style of The Peninsula or The Oriental. The bedrooms are large and airy and furnished in hardwood and have all the usual amenities. 2 beautiful restaurants serve delicious food that is mainly organically produced on their own farms across the river. To sit and watch the huge islands of water hyacinth float by at dawn or dusk is inspiring. Or explore the grounds around the lake and Chinese pavilion so well tended and beautiful. But the most special thing about this stunning hotel is the staff: efficient, yet warm and friendly, but courteous and polite. They add the real family feel to this gorgeous and well-run hotel.
Andrew B — Google review
The grounds are really nice to walk around and are well maintained. The show and workshops would be ok if you are a first time visitor to Thailand or have the kids with you. About an hour and a half is enough for the workshops. The show was very well presented and quite enjoyable in a bid theater there. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Great place, highly recommend for any one!!! This is a really good place to spend a day or two. If you are family with pre-school there are large numbers of activities for your kids to try such as farming, garland making, etc. For adults, this is a peaceful place with a great view of the river from up top and below. The better than great for this place is everything is organic. They are trying to make it sustainable to run the hotel with fully environmental friendly and fully organic. Food is great and fresh since most of vegetable here are grow just around the corner. Also a farmer market in front of the hotel every weekend, which open from 9am - 3pm. On top of all that, the service is excellent!!!! It is beyond 5-stars for their service. They are so considerate in every way. I'm highly recommend this place for anyone who are looking for a short drive, 1.30 hrs, from center of Bangkok true Thai hospitality with an organic living, this is a place for you.
Narumon J — Google review
Good old-style hotel. There is no 24 hrs front desk. Some staff are very good but others are lacking in passion. Water flow poorly in my bathroom shower. Breakfast is good but very limited. I think it should be set menu if they can't provide buffet as it should be. Some counter are empty because, as staff said, there are too little guest rooms..... I give 4 stars because hotel has a lot of facilities and activities to do and room price is not expensive.

If you're looking for a great place to stay with ecological interest, this is the place to go. Sure it's a bit far from Bangkok but its worth it. Good room, great food, friendly staff members, and such a nice place. They have many activities you can try. Currently looking forward to the farmers market in the weekend. The sustainable business model they implement here is great. Organic food and sustainable farming practices that involves local farmers is a plus. Very satisfied

Very beautiful and peaceful place. The hotel looks old style but nice and clean. Services should be improved. Nature around is wonderful with a lot of flowers. Tennis court was closed cos they said it's broken. We arrived around 18:00 and couldn't go bicycling around. The food at restaurant is delicious, dishes are around 80-100 baht but portion are little. Breakfast was good. Summary I suggest this place for relax. We got a room in promo for 2,500 baht. If more I think it doesn't worth.

Khao Bin Cave

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Khao Bin Cave, located in Ratchaburi Province, is a stunning cave system with an illuminated pathway and guides available for hire. The entrance also features the opportunity to pet sheep. Once inside, visitors can marvel at the spectacular stalagmites and stalactites, including a rock formation known as the flying dove. The cave extends nearly 300 meters from the mouth and is renowned for its mineral spring. With ample lighting throughout the cave, visitors can easily appreciate the abundant rock formations.
This cave is amazing and huge. It'll take you 30-60 minutes to stroll through. It was quite humid so take some water. It's well lit and the path is clear. Best of all, it's only 20 Baht to enter which is crazy for what you get. There are also some food stalls and goats to feed. Highly recommended!
Stuart G — Google review
Even though I am not a fan of caves, I thought I would give it a try. Car park is large, asphalted, and clean. No issues finding a vacant spot to park your vehicle. Signs with red color arrows will guide you to the main entrance area to buy the cave entrance ticket at a very small fee per person (THB20 each). You also have a choice to request a guide to show around inside the cave and provide you with details. Just before entering the cave, you might encounter a photographer who will take your photo, without interrupting your journey down the cave. In short, it was very interesting, hot, and humid, despite the presence of pedestal fans here and there. The entire walk through the cave (without stopping much), takes few minutes that would not tire you at all, if you don’t mind sweating. On exit, you will be greeted by the photographer, or assistant with your photo in a nice frame, offered to you at THB100 only. Personally, it’s worth it, in terms of supporting to keep this place running.

Majestic caves with several chambers. Lots of beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Very humid and damp inside so bringing a fan or a bottle if water with is a good idea.The light arrangement inside is good for photographing and not too disturbing the eyes. Friendly local guides whom you could pay for their service up to your preference. However, they might not speak English.

One of Thailand's most beautiful caves with lots of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave has a path that leads all around the cave, back to the entrance. This cave is definitely a must visit when visiting Ratchaburi. There are more nice caves nearby, but this one should definitely be on your list!

This cave is really amazing!!! Only cost 20 baht per person ( foreigner). It’s take about 30 min - 1 hour for visit & taking lots of photos. You can see amazing stalagmites all over the caves. The path is very easy and you may just follow. There are tour guide speaking Thai, not sure if they have English speaking tour guide. You may walk in your own as well, you won’t get lost, no worries. Parking is spacious and it’s free 😄😄😄I would highly recommend this place to you 👍👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

This is the best cave we've been to so far. It's a huge cave system consisting of many large and small halls that are contacted by a circular walkway (walk clockwise). The cave is well lit, but bring a torch to see the further away formation. The cave was super-hot and humid when we visited (April), dress very light and bring a fresh shirt to change when you come out. Entrance is 20B (no dual pricing 😊) and worth every Satang.
The T — Google review
Very nice cave - including people there. The cave and the way leading through it is huge, so really huge! I guess our first round through the cave took around 25 minutes - and no one was there. Went there on a Monday morning, around ten. Entrance fee is 20 baht per person (for adults) - no difference between Thai and foreigners. The cave itself is actually quite well maintained, you have a paved walkway and enough light. You should be careful though, as it is a little slippery from time to time. And be prepared to the quite humid and warm conditions down there ;-). They have a spacious parking space, toilets and shops to buy drinks or snacks (or souvenirs). We really enjoyed walking through the cave and can definitely recommend to go there.

Sights & Landmarks
Mountain Snake Stone Park, previously known as The Khao Ngu Stone Park, was once a vital location for rock excavation in Thailand dating back to the Rattanakosin era. However, due to concerns about the topography's degradation, both the government and public canceled the concession and turned it into an abandoned mine. Today, Ratchaburi province has transformed Khao Ngu into a beautiful public park with archaeological sites that visitors can explore for free.
Beautiful spot to enjoy nature. Used to be a place they collected cement, that’s what i was told. By the entrance there are toilets and cafe, can buy smoothies, coffee, ice cream. Sitting area with many tables chairs and fans. Free entrance.

I only wanted to have a quick look at the park since I was driving by. At first glance, it looked amazingly beautiful and interesting. Car park is a large paved and lined space, enough for large number of cars and buses. The park is a step lower than the park entrance gates. Noticed the park is also accessible by vehicles, but the gates were shut. Entrance is free and the place was very busy with tourists, both locals and few foreigners. Amazing scenery and a great place for family fun. Coffee shop and other stalls offer you with refreshments and souvenirs. Lovely place for photo shoot, relaxing, exercising, or just to enjoy the scenery.

It's a neat little park in Ratchaburi, I found it very relaxing and a nice change to the city sites you are seeing here a lot. It is a lake with some hills around it, some apes are around and also some birds. You can get food and drinks nearby and make some pretty pictures here. When I was here the place was not crowded, but there were some families visiting. The park is for free.

Floating market

The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a historic and bustling marketplace where vendors sell their goods from wooden boats. Visitors can take a local long-tail boat to explore the market and shop for souvenirs. The market is known for its unique feature of being situated along a railway, where vendors and customers make way for passing trains before resuming business as usual.
What a wonderful experience we had. I had wanted to experience a floating market and we took the opportunity to come to the oldest one. My 91 year old father was heading back to the States and we took him here along with the the railway market. It was a fun and exciting experience.

A lively and colorful market with a great atmosphere and plenty of photo opportunities. It’s quite touristy, but still an interesting experience to see the traditional floating stalls and local products. Best to visit early in the morning before it gets too crowded. Overall, worth seeing at least once for the unique setting and local charm.

4th October 2025: Mildly interesting experience, there are far better markets in the streets. We went as part of a tour. I wouldnt want to go out of my way to visit this place, as its a pure tourist trap. We did go at the start of the season so it wasn't too busy. Boats seem to steer you to their preferred vendor, and everything is alike. Still each to their own, and a different experience.

Visiting the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The small boat cruise takes you along a lively waterway lined with countless shops selling a wide variety of local goods, souvenirs, and Thai delicacies. It’s fascinating to see how vendors sell directly from their boats, creating a vibrant atmosphere that perfectly captures the charm of Thailand’s traditional floating markets. The entire experience feels authentic and distinct — gliding through narrow canals surrounded by colorful stalls and local life. There are plenty of snacks and desserts to try along the way, including mangies, sticky rice, and other traditional Thai treats that make the ride even more enjoyable. For those looking for something unusual, you can even take a picture with a snake handled by locals offering photo opportunities. And if you’re lucky, your boat driver might take you a little farther from the main market area, where you can spot a wild monitor lizard resting near the water — a surprising and exciting highlight of the trip. Overall, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market offers a fun, scenic, and culture-filled experience that’s great for tourists who want to see a different side of Thailand’s local life. It’s definitely a must-visit for those who enjoy sightseeing, trying local food, and discovering the country’s traditional market culture in a picturesque floating setting.

This is the original floating market that is a couple of hours south west of Bangkok. Worth a visit if you have a day or two in Bangkok with nothing much planned. Probably best planned as a day trip paired with the Maeklong Railway Market. There are good and souvenir shops that aren't on boats as well so there is a variety of choices.

This place is full of traditional charm. I really enjoyed the local meals and bought many souvenirs. The water area could be cleaner to make it more attractive and eco-friendly. I’ll definitely bring my friends here — it’s one of the best places to visit in Bangkok!

Colorful floating market with many boats selling local food, fruits, and souvenirs. Interesting place to visit if it's the first time for you. Best to go early before it gets crowded. 800 baht for row boat 2 person.🙂
Thi L — Google review
A famous and picturesque floating market. It’s worth experiencing to appreciate how trade used to take place in this area in ancient times. There are some amazing boats—especially the ones selling fruit—but most of the prices are inflated, and many of the items for sale can be found in any souvenir shop.

Veneto Suanphueng

Veneto Suanphueng is a popular tourist attraction in Suan Phueng, featuring a lake with paddle boats, a petting zoo with koi fish, and souvenir shops. It is small but packed with activities for children, and well maintained and clean. It is not crowded at all, making it perfect for a peaceful afternoon.
It’s a very nice tourist attraction in Ratchaburi that deserves more support and promote. I wish more people would come and visit here. The place is very peaceful, and the staff provide excellent services. You can get close to feed the animals, which is a wonderful experience. Children love it, and there are plenty of activities to enjoy !!

Just take around 30 minutes to finish the whole place. The children will love this place as there are many rabbits. 150 baht per adult (not include 4D photo). Nice decoration and the garden is well decorated. The bird cage is still on process of construction and not many bits to see. The koi fish is quiet impressive and fun to watch with the swan and ducks are quiet friendly. Recommended for kids!

So relaxing place to visit. They have small zoo where you can see some animals - especially Capybara. I also enjoyed feeding the koi fish on the Koi Pond and the rabbits. They have a bay area that has a cute and picturesque view. Every corner is a place for a perfect and nice picture. Felt like I'm a child again upon visiting the place.

Another unforgettable holiday for our family! such kid's friendly resort, farm resort>many animals, sheep shows, dog+ducks show. Nice riverside cafe & swing for us to chillax.

Which for the pillow & scented candles & soap they provided for the visiting guests to use in the room too so if you like them, you can purchase back home. The resort doesn't have a pool only tiny sauna just beside the riverside cafe.

Center of Suan Pueng, very nice place for family trip, include many fun and entertain dog and sheep show, my family really enjoy it. Entree fee is reasonable and worth the activities provided. Warning for children and adult feeding the sheep, they will give us dry grass is or straw to feed the sheep, but if you grab onto it and the sheep pull one of the gran, that thing are very sharp and will cut your finger very deep.

Today we arrived at 9:30 to see the animals, and it was simply amazing. I have nothing negative to say. The price is really good and worth it, the staff are wonderful, welcoming, and extremely professional with the guests. We had an amazing time, lots of fun, and the kids really enjoyed it. I would also like to speak with the owner.

Great place for kids and animals. Nice farm with lots of animals. We see many kinds of animals and there are shows either hourly or even 30 minutes. It's recommended to go there before 9:30 as 10:00am show does not repeat again today. Dogs are amazing and so are many other animals. Enjoy the place very much, two piglets are not positioned well so that all the visitors do not tend to feed them and i think pellets are not good for long term? Games are fun and we didn't win anything but it's nice to feed animals, we hope that slow days, the animals are fed well from the farm. Overall, happy trip and clean area. African goats are awesome and well placed. Coffee shops are nice and plenty of staff. Dogs are my favourite at this place. Will try to visit again.

After parking, we were promptly greeted by a golf cart ready to take us to the reception area. What stood out immediately was the professionalism and grace of the staff—even the golf cart driver didn’t sit idly in the cart, creating a sense of urgency. Instead, they stood nearby in a relaxed manner, within eyesight but without pressure, subtly signaling their presence while allowing us to take our time. It’s a small detail, but one that speaks volumes about how well the resort trains its team in hospitality and guest comfort. At reception, we were welcomed with a delicious welcome drink and some incredibly addictive banana snacks that we couldn’t stop nibbling on. The reception itself was grand and spacious, exuding elegance and warmth. As we stepped inside, we were met with refreshingly cool air and the soothing scent of Jo Malone. A Land Rover Defender was proudly on display—yes, the very one we’d be driving during our stay. The resort staff warmly introduced themselves and explained the dining coupons and breakfast options, which can be pre-ordered and will be delivered directly to your villa. Each guest is entitled to one main dish, with select items like congee and fried rice available in unlimited portions—and the fried rice, in particular, was exceptionally flavorful. We were also shown the riverside area where guests are welcome to relax and play. You can walk right into the stream, which has just the right depth—shallow and safe, perfect for unwinding. The overall atmosphere of the property beautifully blends Land Rover’s rugged elegance with refined hospitality. Upon entering the villa, you’re immediately embraced by a cozy-yet-luxurious ambiance. It’s not a flashy kind of luxury, but rather a quiet sophistication marked by thoughtfully selected, high-quality furnishings and amenities. The cool air and soft, romantic background music create a serene and welcoming mood. The living area features a plush sofa perfect for lounging and watching TV, with a large bathtub positioned just behind. You can soak in the tub, light a few candles, and still enjoy the show thanks to a discreet glass partition and in-bathroom speakers synced with the TV. Although photos may not fully convey the experience, the atmosphere is both refreshing and warmly inviting. The Land Rover theme is tastefully woven throughout—from the branded speaker system and coffee table books to a miniature Land Rover model and an insulated bottle, all of which are fully functional. Even the decorative jars on display contain real snacks, tea, and coffee. Upstairs, there’s a beautifully designed grill area that looks well-equipped and stylish, though we didn’t get a chance to use it during this visit. The resort also provided the ticket to feed the animals and to see the show at the farm.

The Scenery Vintage Farm in Suan Phueng, Ratchaburi is one of the most charming places I’ve visited in the area 🎠🐑. It’s peaceful, beautifully designed, and absolutely worth the entrance fee. The dog and sheep show was a real highlight 🐑🐏🐕. They was really fun, well-performed, and great for kids and adults. I loved wandering through the cute photo zones with a vintage countryside theme. The whole place is clean and well maintained, with plenty of spots to sit and relax. There are small cafés and souvenir shops, so you can enjoy snacks and drinks while taking in the view. It’s a wonderful place for a half-day trip if you’re looking to unwind and experience a bit of nature and fun🫶🏻

In love with this beautiful farm stay! One of the best stay I have had. The rooms are beautiful, restaurant food are really good. The owner must have spent a lot of money designing and maintaining this beautiful farm. Staffs are warm, friendly and professional despite not able to speak English but you can feel their warmth. We spent the whole day just sitting and having high tea at the river. It was so nice and peaceful. The breakfast spread is insanely huge, more like brunch for us. We love their bread, scones, yogurt and fruit juices and the fried rice. Not forgetting their banana chips! Love how the animals are treated, the bond between the staffs and animals must have been great. As an animal lover this is important for me. Our only disappointment was that the ATV and land rover were fully booked. Thank you for the great service in this beautiful farm stay and I will definitely be back again.

The pre-Covid bustling narrow walkways along the canal of Amphawa are (almost) empty. This “floating market” was very popular to weekend crowds from Bangkok, with lots of cute little cafe’s and art shops lining the canal. But, according to the owner of the little resort we stayed, it is this Bangkok crowd that is now staying away. A bit of a chicken and egg story. No shops no tourists & no tourists no shops. It is still fairly busy in the narrow street starting from the temple, going across the walkway bridge to the narrow street on the south side of the canal, but that part does not have the bustling evening floating market vibe. Foreign tourist are still there, but mostly from China.
Peter Z — Google review
Once upon a time, here thrived a vibrant floating market. Nowadays, it's transformed into a serene riverside marketplace, where the sight of boats peddling wares is scarce. ⚠️ Note: This market operates exclusively on weekends, in the afternoons and evenings. Visiting during weekdays or mornings is futile. Weekend mornings are tranquil, as vendors prepare their stalls for the bustling afternoon crowds. Catering primarily to locals, this market offers a refreshing escape from touristy hubs, albeit with minimal foreign visitors. Don't anticipate a bustling river scene; instead, explore the myriad of shops lining the area's shores. The absence of tourists also reflects in the pricing, where a satisfying meal can be enjoyed for 40 to 50 baht. While an authentic experience, this market appears to be gradually fading into obscurity. ℹ️ For more captivating photos and videos of our adventures, follow us on Instagram and TikTok at @theworldchasers.

Not a bad place to chill but it a half floating market where the some vendors are floating and the visitors are on land. It is more like a night market. Do not be misled by the name. Visited the vendor in the picture, ordered Pad Thai, pleasantly surprised at the taste for the low cost.

Tham Khao Luang

Archaeological museum
Tham Khao Luang is a temple-like cave nestled in the mountain, accessible by either walk or drive. The cave boasts several Buddhist symbols and a reclining Buddha, with natural light pits and artificial lighting providing a serene ambiance. Visitors need to park at the nearby temple for free and pay an entrance fee of 10 baht per person plus ride ticket fee of 15 baht regardless of nationality.
A nice cave to visit. The way down is steep. I would say it's like walking down a four storey building. If you are not in good health, it may not be a good idea to visit. The cave is safe. It is big inside. A few bats are perched on the ceiling. There is a gift shop, restaurant, and beverages available onsite. Parking may be a challenge during busy days.
Benja S — Google review
A beautiful and peaceful cave with many Buddha statues inside. The best part is the sunlight that shines through the top of the cave — it looks amazing and great for photos! The cave is clean and quiet. It’s a good place to visit if you want something calm and special. Just be careful with the monkeys outside — don’t bring food or they might come close. Only 2 hours from Bangkok, easy for a short trip. Worth a visit! 📍Free entry | 📷 Best time: Morning (for sunlight) |
Lê C — Google review
It's nice, when you like caves and Buddha's. The cave itself has mostly one relatively big "room" with a nice hole in the ceiling, where the sun shines through. It's a pretty sight. Aside from that there are a lot of Buddha statues in the cave. All around it is not super special, but since it is only 10 Baht, and really not far from the centre of Phetchaburi, I think you should give it a try, when you are around. Oh there are apes here, too.
Robin H — Google review
If you ask me whether it’s worth travelling for 3 hours from Bangkok to this cave I think it’s not worth it at all. Probably I have seen nicer and more majestic cave, but anyhow for those who still wish to come here can always do so as this is based on my personal view. In the morning I took grab from the hotel to Mo Chit 2 / Chatuchak bus station. Went to the ticket counter to enquire for the bus ticket. From Mo Chit / Chatuchak bus station to Phetchaburi bus station and the ticket price is 246 baht. Ticket counter will require you show them your passport if you are a foreigner. Return from Petchaburi bus station to Mo Chit 2 / Chatuchak bus station is cheaper at 140 baht. Entrance fee to the cave is only 10 baht.

Tham Khao Luang is a hidden historic cave that beautifully blends natural wonder with cultural and spiritual significance. Located in the hills of Phetchaburi, the cave houses a serene temple filled with Buddha statues, including a large reclining Buddha, all illuminated by natural light streaming through a large cave’s opening above. It’s a peaceful spot that appeals to a wide range of visitors — whether you're drawn by the natural cave formations, the historic royal connections, or the spiritual atmosphere. The site is well-maintained, and the walk down into the cave is manageable for most visitors. Highly recommended for those looking to explore a lesser-known but deeply meaningful destination in Thailand.

Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park (Khao Wang)

Mentioned on 
+16 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park, also known as Khao Wang, is a historic palace complex completed in 1860 and situated on three elevated peaks. It was built by King Mongkut as a retreat from Bangkok and features a mix of European, Thai, and Chinese architectural styles. Today, it houses a national museum with royal belongings.
I liked this place a lot! One of the best locations I visited so far, at least for me. It is a former kings palace with a nice garden and a stupa and a buddhistic temple all in one area. The ticket is 200 Baht, which is fine for the amount of things you get to see. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the palace though, but in my eyes that is no problem, since the outside was far more picturesque. For the temple you need to wear appropriate clothes, but they give you some for free, should you need them. The garden is green and has all sorts of animals/insects, foremost the apes, of course. You need to be a bit careful, since they might try to steal your food or your drinks, but they did not harm me or were aggressive in any way. Just hold your food/drinks tight. From the three elevated places here you will have an excellent view of the city and the surrounding lands.

We haven't visited this historical park in years and we were blown away by how organized this park has become. Theres even the slow cable cars to take visitor to the top of the moutain. Theres staff at every corner of the park to provide information and history behind the late King rama IV and V summer palace. We didn't have the chance to visit and explore all the building but will ensure to do so next time

I’m not sure why I’ve never heard of this place before it was so interesting! I took my Thai friends and they had not heard of it either, but we were all pleasantly surprised. If you like photos there’s so many photogenic spots. If you like hiking it’s a great walk around with a cool view. If you like history it’s very interesting with a lot of preserved items and areas. There’s something for everyone and the look out with the building in the back is just so beautiful! We hate monkeys, but they didn’t bother us, just know there are several on the grounds. There’s also some great local restaurants in the town if you need a bite after.

A nice place to visit if you are into sightseeing. Tickets for thai are 80 baht and 280 for foreigners. They have the old house of the king that you can enter. They will give you a plastic bg to put your ahoes inside. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the rooms so you will have to vist by yourself.

Wow, what an amazing place. The climb and ascent are a bit difficult, but the place is amazingly beautiful and worth a visit. Keep in mind that the tour will take two hours, but it is totally worth it. In addition, there are monkeys everywhere, and the monkeys from the compound to the environment are crazy. Worth a stop and a visit
YOAV L — Google review
This is where Siamese Kings (Rama) 4 and 5 had a vacation palace. Please be aware the entrance fee is actually 200 ThB and not the 40 ThB the official website claims. There is no video or photography allowed inside the palace and plenty of staff inside to enforce it. If you are a common tourist, probably not worth the price. But if you are a historical buff then maybe. Also it is a long walk 300 meters to the museum. But they do have a cable car for a small fee for those who cannot walk. I would have given this place 3 stars but only gave two just because of some of the aggressive monkeys on the walk to the museum. Suggest carrying a long stick to keep the monkeys at bay.
Umoja — Google review
Phra Nakhon Khiri or Khao Wang was originally a palace of King Rama IV. It is located at Klong Krachang Sub-district, Mueang District, Phetchaburi Province. It is situated on top of three consecutive peaks, with the highest peak being 95 meters high. It was originally called “Khao Samon” (Khao Saman). On the eastern shoulder of the mountain is a temple named “Wat Samon”. In 1861, he named it Khao Maha Sawan, which was later changed to Khao Mahaisawan. King Rama IV ordered the construction of a palace on Khao Mahaisawan in 1859. Chao Phraya Si Suriyawong (Chuang Bunnag), who was later granted the title of Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Si Suriyawong, was the supervisor of the construction, and Phra Phetphisai Srisawat (Thuan Bunnag) was the supervisor. When construction was complete, he named it “Phra Nakhon Khiri”. King Rama IV was very fond of the beautiful weather and scenery of Phetchaburi. He had resided at Phra Nakhon Khiri many times throughout his reign. During the reign of King Chulalongkorn, he ordered the renovation of Phra Nakhon Khiri to be used as a place to receive royal guests from Germany. After the reign of King Chulalongkorn, no monarch had resided at Phra Nakhon Khiri again. Until the reign of the present King, he had the idea to restore and renovate. The Fine Arts Department announced the registration of Phra Nakhon Khiri as an important national ancient site, carried out the renovation of various royal buildings, and announced the establishment of the Phra Nakhon Khiri National Museum on August 27, 1979 as a memorial museum. All royal utensils received back from the Bureau of the Royal Household and the Ministry of Interior were registered as antiques, conserved, and displayed inside the Phetphumiphairot Throne Hall and the Pramot Mahaisawan Throne Hall. .......... • Ticket 200 baht • Cable Car 50 baht up & 50 baht down(you can choose to walk up or down the hill without cable car) # There're many wild monkeys around the park. Please keep your food inside your bag. # No camera is allowed inside the Museum(Here I've uploaded some of the interior pictures from their official website. You can also buy their book at the information center.) * Overall worthy for a visit because the real beauty of the scenery is what the camera or pictures couldn't capture. You need to see it through your own eyes.

Outdoor Activities
Fisherman's Resort Haad Chao Samran is a well-maintained lodging with a beachfront restaurant and bar, along with an infinity pool and spa. The resort offers direct access to a clean beach, two beautiful pools on-site, and delicious breakfast buffet options. Guests can enjoy the serene atmosphere and friendly staff while being within walking distance of the lively village with its small restaurants and food stalls.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The bungalows are spacious, very clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves decent food, and the beach is clean, perfect for long walks. They also offer an external laundry service at a reasonable price. The nearest 7-Eleven is about a 10-minute walk away. The resort and area is very quite. Nothing much going on there. Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you! If we had one suggestion, it would be to offer motorcycle rentals, so guests can explore the surrounding areas on their own.

The service is epic. 5 star kind of service. However, the water in the room isn’t hot… the temperature is like the water in the pool. But the room is tidy. And the pool, there isn’t food or drinks served by the pool, it seems like the facilities in the pool area is outdated too. The breakfast selection is very limited; not sure if it’s because of the low season. Overall it’s a nice weekend getaway but next time I would probably go to huahin and pay a much more to enjoy the better facilities there. The highlight is the service at the reception at the restaurant.

Had a lovely 3-night stay here recently. Great deal for a villa, which was more than ample for me and my partner. Very clean. Comfy bed. Powerful air-con! Stocked with plenty of bottled water. Breakfast was good and dinner was excellent. We sat on the deck overlooking the beach and sea. It was magic. Service was friendly all around. there are other restaurants and a 7-11 within 10 minutes walk. Highly recommend.

The room was pleasant , comfortable and clean. The staff was nice, friendly and generally service-minded. The breakfast was satisfying. The small restaurant adjoining the beach had a nice peaceful ambience to it. Food offerings are rather limited. Somewhat disappointing was the corkage charge - THB500 - which costed more than the duty free wine I brought along. So, I ended up going to a very impressive and reasonably priced restaurant less than a kilometer away, and spending only about THB1,000 for a sumptuous fresh and delicious seafood dinner for two - with no corkage charges. Maybe the management has its reasons, but i feel the management could increase sales (accommodation and food) by not charging or minimally charging hotel guests.

I've been considering visiting for many many years but always visited Hua Hin to entertain my kids, but as they are now adults, we finally visited and I now wish the wife and I had visited years ago. Haad Chao Samran is a lovely beach area with a selection of hotels. I'd be surprised if there's better than this one. Lovely villa bungalows. Quiet and private with good facilities. The villas and the landscaping reminded me of Samui. Ate dinner in the hotel twice, food was very decent. Had a lovely time and hope to visit again (probably when the awful Rama 2 roadworks are completed).

I must say, it is a really nice, quiet and relaxing resort. The room that we stayed in was Garden Villa. It was super comfortable, with a bed , pillows , shower, and toilet. The aircon works so well. Even it was so so hot outside. It cools the room so fast. The swimming pool was calm and relaxing. The beach was so clean and wide. We like this place. Hopefully, we will be back again soon. Ps. There are many restaurants around too.

Kaeng Krachan National Park

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Kaeng Krachan National Park, established in 1981, covers a vast 2,914 square kilometers of forested land and is home to diverse wildlife and rivers. The River Phet originates from this park and flows into the Gulf of Thailand at Baan Laem. The park has multiple entrances that are quite far apart from each other. It's recommended to navigate to Ban Krang Camp for a more beautiful experience rather than the touristy headquarters area.
An awesome national park which is not far from Bangkok. There are many kinds of wild animals here including black panthers, leopards, elephants, ant eaters, etc. Of course, we haven’t seen those animals why we did hiking on the natural trail here. However we saw some foot prints though. We love the trail here because we have to walk across the stream several times. It is really fresh and nice. I wear a pair of water hiking shoes which is very practical for a trail like this. This trail is only 2.5 kilometers. We start from the tourist center at Baan krang (บ้านกร่าง) and finish at stream 1 (ลำธาร1). Our driver will drive there and wait for us. The minivan could not go further because the car will need to run across the stream. Only SUVs or trucks could go. There is no phone signal here, not from True. Dtac or even AIS. So it is not possible to call our driver at all. We just have to finish the trail. There are many beautiful butterflies here. Many signs tell all drivers to drive slowly and please avoid killing these butterflies. We visit here around the end of July. We enjoy our hike very much. It is not difficult at all. No steep path , just flat trail.

Really enjoyed the experience. Butterflies were great. I wanted to do more hiking but realised the hiking and waterfalls you need to go further up for and you can't just do it without the proper vehicle so if you want to hike, make sure you make arrangements to go up further into the park, get permits and probably stay overnight in the park. Maybe that's just my experience or I didn't do enough homework prior to the trip but it wasn't as easy or permissible as I expected. You'll probably need a guide and to hire a 4 x 4 if you don't already have one. But well worth it. Butterflies, monkeys, bird life that we saw was worth it. The lake was magnificent! So scenic. Great place to explore. So much to see

The bed and breakfast located in the Santorini Park provides Mediterranean-style accommodation within a theme park. Guests are given access to a shared kitchenette, as well as free entry to the park. Overall, our stay was enjoyable thanks to the kind and helpful staff who were attentive to our requests. While they could benefit from more training in product knowledge and English language skills, we appreciated their efforts to provide top-notch service.
Such a beautiful place, good for refreshing. Really cozy room. Everything served so well. In addition, you can enter Santorini Park for free if you stay at here. And at nights there is free shuttle bus that pick us to midtown

Clean, plenty of chairs and shade, limited but affordable food options, fun for little and big kids. Lockers available. Cabanas can be rented for 2,000 baht per day; I think they have AC and TV! Bring your own towels but no outside food or drink. Pricey but worth it. Residents qualify for a discount.

I had a pleasant stay here, the staff are kind and helpful. They listen to your request, even though I think that they need more training in their product knowledge and English but I know they are trying to give their best service. I love their interior, so pretty and colorful. They also have common room to grab coffee, tea or hot chocolate for free and a cozy playroom. There are no international chanel available, so watching TV is not an option if you can't understand Thai. Everything else is as good as I expected.

We only visited the water park which I did enjoy very much. However the for how much I enjoyed the park the down side was there rules on food and drink, we had a bag check which solo reason was to look for food and drink. This would not be a problem but once we were in the park most western food such as burgers and pizza was not available. I don't have a problem if you have food and drink for us in the park but when you don't there is no reason not to let us take it in. Furthermore we had to buy a towel but the quality was very poor, I wish there has been better quality towels as would be happy to buy on as a memory for our holiday.

A very very pretty hotel. Looks like santorini and it has a pretty decent and interesting theme park connected to it. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean. They serve super decent breakfast and also have many rooms like games room, relax room and common room. A very well equipped hotel. I would highly recommend this place! By far one of the best hotel and best look alike!

We had a wonderful and memorable stay here. It's really heart warming when we first stepped in to our room as it was decorated with balloons and "Happy Birthday" banner and also birthday present 😍 **We were here to celebrate my daughter's 15th birthday and we did leave a note upon booking. Room was great! Clean,spacious and cozy.Easy excess to Santorini Theme Park & Water park. My children truly enjoyed it very much and hoping to come back again. Disadvantage : no food after 6:30pm, not even the hotel will provide u food. However, there's a nice restaurant which is about 3km away from hotel and taxi charges for 2ways @ 300Tbh. Another choice would be, packet some food at the theme park before they close.

The only cons of Place was completely outskirts, very hard to get any convince store and food outside, and very hard to get Grabs! Hotel rated as 3 stars, but everything they perform, to be fair I rate them 4 stars !! For those who prepare to visit nearby Camel Republic, Swiss Sheep Farm and Premium Outlet altogether, can stay here for a night is the ideal proposal! Breakfast got Vegetarian option for Vegetarians!

I edited my review to a 5 Star because of the staffs consolidated efforts and tenacity to right things by improving on their services and professional ethics. For that I am indeed impressed. Most important thing about Hospitality Business is that there’s always room for improvement and even though small in stature compared to other 5 Stars Hotels, the Santorini staffs’ efforts alone can stand toe to toe with numerous 5 stars Hotels; any day! Keep up the Good Work!

Swiss Sheep Farm is a family-friendly destination featuring an array of adorable animals such as sheep, rabbits, and horses. The attraction offers unique photo opportunities with quirky displays. However, it's recommended to avoid visiting during midday when temperatures can be high. Visitors are provided with a small bundle of grass to interact with the animals, making for a fun experience for both children and adults alike.

Great variety of animals, friendly staff, place was a bit run down. Animals seemed well-fed as they weren't aggressive when we fed them at all. Worth a visit, spending 1-2 hours depending on how long you'd like to spend feeding animals. Many spot for those who like taking pictures. Have entrance fee and got some animals food, can buy more food once you are inside the farm. 20 bath/bag of carrots.

This place has great potential, however the animals are kept in harsh conditions and it's quite heartbreaking so I can only give two stars. On google maps, pictures look great but once we are inside, the zoo looks like an abandonned place and is quite depressing.

It can be rather hot, avoid mid noon. A nice place for children and family to take some nice photos. You get a small bundle of grass to feed the animals to have some interaction with them. Allow for an hour or so for this place. I hope this place will survive the pandemic, as it would be a pity if it had to close down.

This beach offers plenty of shade from trees and an array of activities to enjoy, including pony rides, banana boat tours, and rejuvenating Thai massages. While it can get busy on weekends with numerous vendors setting up umbrellas, visiting during the week allows for a more tranquil experience.

Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT)

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Wildlife refuge
Nature & Parks
Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) is a sprawling conservation and animal rescue center located 45km west of Hua Hin. The facility houses over 500 animals, including elephants, monkeys, jungle cats, bears, tigers, gibbons, macaques, loris and birds. It also operates an elephant rescue program where the elephants live chain-free for the rest of their lives. Visitors can take full-access tours to learn about the animals and their rescue histories.
Incredible Full-Day Experience at the Elephant Sanctuary We opted for the full-day experience and are so glad we did. From start to finish, the day was incredibly well-organized and meaningful. Our guide spoke perfect English and took the time to answer every question with care and detail. The experience began with a short but powerful video explaining the sanctuary’s purpose. It’s heartbreaking to hear the stories and see footage of how these amazing animals were mistreated in the past—but it’s also inspiring to learn how the sanctuary is changing their lives for the better. The rest of the day is spent meeting and interacting with these same elephants in a peaceful, respectful environment where they are clearly well cared for and happy. It’s moving to see them living freely and naturally. Highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone who cares about animals or wants to learn more about ethical wildlife tourism. Truly unforgettable.

I volunteered here for 2 weeks, which frankly wasn’t long enough! I loved every minute of my experience here. The staff are so helpful and accommodating especially Jam, Fifa and Faii on the wildlife project. There was rarely a dull moment as Jam kept everyone’s spirits up! The days are long and the work is hard, but it’s so worth it! The animals here are so well cared for and it’s a privilege to be a small part of their journey. The house dogs around the volunteer accommodation are also so sweet! I honestly can’t say thank you enough to everyone at WFFT. Such a special place!!
Rachel — Google review
It was an absolutely fantastic, impressive, informative day. It is absolutely essential to make a reservation if you want to visit — otherwise, you won’t see any animals, and walk-ins are not possible. We booked five days in advance and there was only one slot left for the entire week. This is clearly explained on their website, so anyone who takes the time to read it will know. People who don’t check and then complain (as some reviewers here do) really have only themselves to blame. Signage could be better: when you arrive at the entrance, follow the small signs to the lodge, which can be easily overseen. It’s about a 10-minute drive from the reserve entrance. We had to ask several staff members along the way before we found it. Once there, everything was perfectly organized, and they were expecting us. The lodge has a terrace with a restaurant and a small kiosk selling snacks and drinks at normal, reasonable prices — not the tourist-gouging you see elsewhere. From the terrace, you can already see the first elephants up close. One thing that baffled me: despite clear signs and repeated instructions, some people still tried to feed the elephants whatever they had, even holding small children or babies over the wall. Some did it again the moment the park rangers turned their backs after warning them. If anything happens, it will of course be “the bad elephants.” Personally, I’d kick such people out without warning. Also clearly stated on the website: all tours are in English. We booked the full-day tour, with little children; it was easy enough to translate for the little ones. After a short introduction to the park, we set off in open buses to see various rescue areas — monkeys, several species of deer, bears, tortoises, and more. Each animal comes with its rescue story. Many are not native to Thailand and cannot be released back into the wild, so they live here in large enclosures. The monkeys and gibbons go through several stages: quarantine cages, socialization with other monkeys, and finally release onto a large, natural island in the reserve as the last step before reintroduction to the wild. There are parts where you have to walk through the grounds, so bring water and insect repellent — again, all explained on the website, so no excuses for later complaints. The website also mentions that this is temple ground and temple-appropriate clothing is required — however, in reality, regular clothing was fine and there was no dress code enforced. Lunch was a small buffet with rice, chicken skewers, and Thai curry — not a huge selection, but tasty, fresh, and more than enough. In the afternoon, we visited the big cats’ enclosures — the tigers are truly impressive — and saw more elephants. The day ended with feeding two blind elephants, who rely on humans to bring them fruit. Overall, it was incredibly moving to see the animals so close. The park even has a modern animal hospital and two very modern animal ambulance cars. The staff are clearly dedicated, and the grounds are well maintained. The tour guides were more than happy to answer all our questions. We felt far more comfortable here than at the many other “attractions” where you can ride elephants in chains or pet sedated tigers. Here, you get the feeling that animal welfare is genuinely the priority — and we were more than happy to pay the slightly higher price for that.

Wonderful way to support these animals who desperately need our support. This an emotional place. It’s a place that shows us how cruel some humans can be. The group of people who are working, volunteering here have big hearts. If you’re here on vacation, please take the time to spend half a day or the full day here. It’s worth it! These animals still have so much love and affection to share with us, even though they had unbearable experiences in the past with humans.
Ruchira F — Google review
If you are anywhere near the area, this is an absolute must visit. It is a true rescue, rehabilitation, and (whenever possible) release operation. If you are looking for animal interactions, you shouldn't be, and, apart from feeding the elephants, won't get it here. As our guide said, "we are here for the animals, not them for us". It is a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience. We did the full day tour, which included a lovely lunch, which we would recommend. A half day is also offered. These guys do absolutely amazing work and deserve to be supported.

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Outdoor swimming pool
Black Mountain Water Park in Hua Hin is a sprawling water recreation complex spread over 40,000 square meters, just 15 minutes from the town center. It offers an array of attractions including nine slides, a towering vertical slide tower, six pools (including a wave pool that creates the largest waves in Thailand), and a lazy river. The park also features dining facilities and operates with high safety standards and trained lifeguards.
Perfect spot for a relaxed family day - kids loved the safe water rides, we enjoyed the peaceful vibe and good food. Just make sure to arrange a ride back in advance, as taxis aren’t always eager to come here
Denis G — Google review
We had a fantastic day out at the black mountain water park with our kids ages 11 and under. We went during the week so it was quiet with no waits for the rides. The park is a perfect size to feel relaxed and not frantic. There are lots of seating areas around the park. Also the restaurant is very well priced and the food is tasty. I recommend buying tickets online in advance as it is cheaper that way. Lockers are available free of charge with a 200baht deposit. Lastly, this place doesn’t have the bigger rides or more thrill seeking rides like vana nava but there’s more than enough to keep everyone happy. Oh and the wave pool was an absolute favourite.
Elisa O — Google review
My partner and our 3 kids (aged 1, 5, and 11 years old) visited this waterpark on a quiet, slightly rainy, Tuesday afternoon. The park is small but surprisingly there's plenty to do. There is a pool for younger children in the corner of the park which is great, along with the lazy river. Then there's the wave pool and of course the big slides which are for the older children. The restaurant food was not bad but could do with more variety. NOTE: Please be aware they the red and green coloured floor around the entire park is horrendously slippery when wet. Whoever decided this was a good idea was wrong and they need to replace it before someone is hurt, it's terrible, we had to keep to the none coloured part which is much safer to walk on. The toilets are also like an ice rink when wet. Worth the admission fee of about 1500 baht for all of us.

This place is magical. A fantastic water park that deserves more visitors. We were there during Thailand's low season, and there were maybe 20 visitors in total. Prices: We paid 800 baht for a round-trip tuk-tuk. I’m glad we booked the return trip as well—there was one tuk-tuk when we were ready to leave, and I think it was there to pick someone else up. The area is quite remote, so make sure you arrange your return in advance. Entrance fee: 600 baht for adults. In Thailand, you’re often considered an adult based on your height, so my 13-year-old was charged as an adult. We paid at the park. Lockers: 200 baht deposit, which you get back. Food: You need a food card, and you have to load money onto it. Any remaining balance is refunded when you return the card. Soda: 30 baht Burger: 200 baht (250 with cheese) Fries: 100 baht So a bit more expensive than in restaurants, but still very affordable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s located about 20 minutes outside the city center by tuk-tuk. Maintenance was surprisingly good, and everything was clean. This park is cheaper than the other one, and it has slides for kids, the cautious, and the daredevils. Wave pool with 10 minutes of waves and 30 minutes pause. There’s nothing to think about—set aside a full day here. We left at 3 PM because that’s when our tuk-tuk was coming back, but we really wished we could’ve stayed all day.

Ratchanee M — Google review
I have been bringing my child to this water park almost every week. While the park itself is enjoyable, I have some serious concerns. The front desk staff, especially those selling tickets, often seem unfriendly and curt in their communication. We usually visit on Saturdays to take advantage of the half-price promotion, and the prices themselves are reasonable—150 THB for children and 300 THB for adults. However, I strongly believe the park should define “child” tickets by age, not height. Some children are naturally taller because of their parents’ genetics, and it’s not their fault. It feels unfair when one child has to pay an adult price just because of height, while their friends pay less. If this height-based rule is strictly followed, does that mean a dwarf who doesn’t meet the height requirement would be charged a child ticket? This policy is honestly quite absurd. Also, if someone enters the park but doesn’t use any of the facilities, it would make much more sense to allow the entrance fee to be deducted from food or drink purchases inside. That would be a fairer and more customer-friendly approach. I’ve lived in Hua Hin for decades—I’m not a tourist. I’ve supported many local businesses over the years, but after this experience, I’m truly disappointed. As a regular customer, I expected better service and understanding. Unfortunately, this will be my last visit.

With affordable prices and friendly staff, it's a great place to stop by before heading back to Bangkok.
It's like a hidden gem. From the outside, you won't notice any thing unsual, the street outside the building is normal and unimpressive. Once you go into the building, it's a whole new atmosphere. The place is full of attractively decorated shop, ranged from local snack food, candies, cakes to playful sourvenirs. There is music band playing near the Ferris Wheel and they are having fun I'm going to miss such a warm place. I feel like you can put your busy world behind, just relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Many shops and cafe inside with affordable price. Friendly staff inside the area and it's free entrance. Enjoy many spots for taking great pictures. I went there by motorbike and the parking guy asked for 220 Bath just for parking!! When i refused he asked me to leave. Very rude.

A good place to stop by before heading back to Bangkok. 40baht parking fee. No entrance fee. The guard just had a counter to click how many people coming in the place. One of the food vendors was so helpful to tell me about this vintage place. Food between 50-60baht but a bit small portion only.

Small place to visit probably 30minutes, no entrance fee. There is a live band performance at the time. Plenty of shops and food store. Great place for photography at evening.

Sacred & Religious Sites
Samnaksong Tham Laplae, also known as Lub Lae Cave, is a sacred place located in Nong Phlap village, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. The cave features stunning stalagmites and stalactites that create a serene atmosphere. Visitors can embark on a self-guided exploration after making a donation at the monastery and receiving a torch.
Amazing Cave that we had to ourselves. The dirt track up to the entrance is manageable with a normal car, but needs careful driving in parts. There is a community building near the entrance where you can get torches. The cave is easily accessible, but can be slippery inside. It is very impressive and full of varied rock formations, and bats. Great fun to explore.
Chris B — Google review
There is a pretty good dirt road leading to the cave. I came here at 8:00 am on Saturday and the caretaker gave me a flashlight. The cave itself is large and branched with many bats. I didn't find the cave very interesting, but maybe for beginners it will be different.

Very long cave. Well lighted. No guide needed nor available. Many bats flying. Good cave to explore.

Also known as Lub Lae Cave. A trip up a one lane, rocky dirt road leads you to the 'Monastery' where you make a donation & are given a torch to explore on your own. You could spend anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour underground, dependant on your tolerance of bats, the heat & enclosed spaces. You can walk the well defined trail or crawl though tiny spaces to reach on amazing cavern. You will generally have the caves to yourself as it is not designed as a tourist attration

It is a beautiful cave! There are lot of Bats flying within the Cave! However, it will be good to have better lighting that highlights those beautiful location or object that is extraordinary!!

The route itself is already a journey. Around October you will cross large fields of pineapples. When you arrive you are greeted by a friendly man who will give you a torch for free. The cave is pretty deep but not cold. Don't be afraid of the bats and insects living in the cave they won't harm you. In the cave the path is clearly visible and easy to follow.

The man working here (not the monk), who is middle aged with white hair was really rude to me. Further, he doesn’t suggest you make a donation. He demands, after giving you a torch you don’t need. When I arrived he gave me a flashlight, told me the cave was up the hill, and shouted “do not touch ANYTHING!” as if I am some naughty child. Explored the cave, it’s fine - however many of the lightbulbs have died. I left and asked the man (in Thai) where the toilets are. He proceeds to shout at me in Thai, saying the toilets are at the back, and not to leave the door open when I’m finished. I don’t get why he’s so angry at me. I asked him and he’s shouting at me saying he doesn’t like foreigners, we are all the same and we don’t treat the area with respect. Really disappointed with how he spoke to me. I’ve lived in Thailand for half a year and never had anyone speak to me like this. I asked him what I did to offend him and he couldn’t explain himself, just that he doesn’t like foreigner. I told him I know how to be respectful at a Buddhist site, and he shouts “well I don’t know, and storms off”

This place is a gem , it's off the beaten track but well worth it !! The caves are well lit amd it's so quiet and peaceful - almost spooky ! With the odd sound of a bat or drip of water. The caves are stunning. When we arrived we were greeted by a man who gave us a torch each , we never had a guide like others ha e mentioned so we were left to our own devices. Defiantly worth a visit

Hutsadin Elephant Foundation

Mentioned on 
12 lists 
Foundation
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nestled in Thailand, the Hutsadin Elephant Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing elephants from exploitative situations and providing them with a safe haven. Visitors can engage in various activities such as trekking with the elephants, feeding them, and experiencing life as a mahout. The foundation offers an ethical way for guests to interact with these majestic creatures, allowing them to walk alongside the elephants, feed them, and even shower them at the end of their visit.
If you want to see elephants, support this place! Do your research and do not go to alternative nearby spots. You can’t ride an elephant here, though no one needs nor should ride an elephant. The educational piece is great and the elephants are well looked after. There are four elephants, all either with health concerns or rescues. Yes they’re chained, but it’s necessary. They’re lined to reduce friction and they're given more freedom in the evenings. Nice venue with statues and the whole team was great, you can feel the love for these animals. Highly recommend.
Michael T — Google review
A great and ethical elephant sanctuary. They have 4 elephants and the activities you can do with them are awesome. No riding thankfully. But to walk, feed and bathe the elephants is a fantastic experience. It is slightly on the touristy side as they will offer you multiple opportunities to buy trinkets or donate, so bring extra cash and don't be stingy. The operation is efficient, easy to understand and fun. If you choose the walking activity (which I highly recommend) you'll have multiple opportunities to get photos. If you decide to view the temple on site, be sure to dress appropriately as it IS a working temple.
Sara K — Google review
Having spent some time researching local elephant sanctuaries, this one seemed the most legitimate and it was. Other local companies are exploitative of the elephants, whereas these are rescue ones who are impeccably well cared for and loved by the volunteers and that comes across when you’re there. We paid for the walk with them and we walked with Song Gram, the teenage elephant who when you say thank you to her she toots her trunk! She’d been rescued from a circus near Bangkok and they were rehabilitating her and hope to release into the wild. The tour was excellent and they explained how they give them free time on the mountain and are only linked up for short periods, but the chain on the leg itself is plastic so won’t hurt. There’s a small gift shop there selling t shirts, key rings etc, or you can buy handmade jewellery from the mahouts (elephant carer) to supplement their income. Overall, I’d fully recommend this charity and heavily recommend researching the other local companies before going. There’s no need to ride an elephant.
Adam E — Google review
A nice stop to get close and personal with rescue elephants without promoting irresponsible business. This small foundation, located on a thai chinese temple ground, only has 4 rescued elephants. The animals are well cared for by volunteers. Visitors are only allowed to have a short 20-min walk with a little feeding and showering interaction - with the option of an educational class (charged extra). The price to pay must be seen in my opinion as a donation to help the foundation maintain their rescued elephants rather than a ticket for an "elephants experience". Overall and after visiting many "elephants camps" in Thailand, we liked this place. The enthusiasm and passion of the volunteer we met gave us a positive feeling about the foundation and how they operate.

Love this place. Rescue centre for Elephants. No riding or tricks ,just good care for Elephants. Can walk with them , shower them and feed them. Staff are polite and friendly and don't try to sell you stuff. Runs on donations
Andrew W — Google review
It was a wonderful encounter with the elephants followed by education about the animals and their past. Yes, the elephants are often chained up, which is also explained on site and why this is the case. Of course, it would be best if all elephants lived in freedom, but unfortunately this is a utopia. You pay a fair entrance fee and then have the opportunity to donate and/or give tips on site. But you are not pressurised to do so. The entrance fee includes a bottle of water and an ice cream. Whether the Foundation makes a profit from this or not and whether the money goes entirely to animal welfare is, of course, not something you can know, but you have to decide whether you trust the honesty of the Foundation that this is true. The elephants are certainly much better off, even if they still live in captivity and are used as an attraction. But somehow the money for their expensive keeping has to come in. What really bothered me, however, was that the mahout advertised his bracelets as being "made from elephant teeth" on the card. In my opinion, that's a no-go. Apart from that, I can recommend the place and hope that the elephants continue to have a dignified and beautiful life.

This is a self funded , nonprofit organization, which rescued injured and unwanted elephants and treats them with food and shelter. The guide was quite knowledgeable and helpful. We fed bananas to the elephants and walked along with the elephant in the designated path . Later we bathed elephants. The cost is 800 Thai Bhat per person. The receptionist also offered us nice ice cream. We enjoyed our visit here
Samir S — Google review
Great experience! We came on Monday because there were English speaking volunteers but they ended up leaving at 12pm (we came around 3pm). But our guide was amazing, spoke great English and was very informative. We walked, fed and bathed the elephant. It was 800 Baht total per person. The elephants are all rescues and look to be taken care of well. They did not push for donations and did provide ice cream at the end. I would definitely recommend going here over other locations!

Outdoor Activities
Hua Hin Beach is a popular destination along the Gulf of Thailand, offering clear waters and soft, powdery sand. It's known for its unmatched Thai hospitality and a wide range of exciting activities. The area is not as crowded as other tourist spots, making it perfect for a leisurely day by the sea. Visitors can enjoy water sports like kiteboarding and kitesurfing due to consistent winds. The beach also boasts lovely beachfront hotels with direct access or public areas for relaxation.
Very nice beach with warm waters to swim. Small shops on the way to the beach. Kids and adults had a good time walking along the water and exploring small animals. There were plenty of horse-riding options available at a charge of 250-300 per horse.

This is one long beachfront for the numerous hotels and condos. Except for the northern tip there is basically no place to sit and enjoy. The white sand is mostly washed away. Dirty with plastics in many places. Jet skis drive very close to the coast making it dangerous to swim. A lot of horse handlers walk the beach looking for customers. Is a sad scene honestly.
Gregor H — Google review
This beach is nice but crowded. I rented a chair with umbrella roof for 100b. It started to rain and the umbrella roof didn’t help. I ordered a coconut smoothie for 70b. Both were expensive I thought. I’ll check out a different area of the beach next time.

This beach somehow disappointed me in every way. I did not expected this but yeah seems like very much under developed one Will update it as I am planning to visit again
Muhammad D — Google review
This is a long beach, so I'll focus on the northern end bounded by Hilton since that is my preferred part of the beach. The reason is simply the ability to get deck chairs, loungers and food brought to you without having to use one of the beachfront resorts. There's about 20 deck chair vendors and in low season, there's not really enough customers to go around. The food and drinks cover the standard Thai options. The food is pretty overpriced, but that's the price you pay for convenience. Some people mentioned clean water, but it didn't look clean to me. I was there during low season and there weren't that many beach activities other than horse riding. In the 7 days on the beach I saw one group take a banana boat ride and one jet ski ride, so the activities do run if there are enough people.

Hua Hin Beach is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise. The beach faces east, so the sun rises directly over the sea. In the early morning, the sky changes color—orange, pink, and gold. The beach is quiet, with only a few people walking or monks collecting alms. The sand is soft, and the sound of waves is peaceful. It is a perfect time to relax and enjoy nature. A good spot to see the sunrise is in front of Centara Grand Beach Resort. This area has rocks and coconut trees, making the view more special. Another nice place is Khao Takiab Beach, which is quieter and has a clear view of the sunrise.   If you visit Hua Hin, I recommend waking up early to see the sunrise. It is a peaceful and beautiful experience that you will remember.

The market offers a variety of performances, as well as art and food for sale (though the taste might be a bit bland for a Thai like me). If you want to buy food, exchange your coupon first. I also recommend the massage shop at the very back. The masseuses are very skilled. I felt so comfortable that I fell asleep during the massage.

Cicada Market is a must-visit in Hua Hin. It's a fantastic night market with a wonderful atmosphere. It stands out from other markets because it's not just about shopping; it's a great spot for art and entertainment. The market has a wide variety of stalls, especially for handmade crafts, jewelry, artwork, home decor, and clothing. It's the perfect place to find unique, locally made souvenirs and gifts. There are also live performances and music, which really adds to the vibrant energy of the place. It's clear that many international tourists enjoy this market, which gives it a lively, multicultural feel. For food, there's a large food center where you need to purchase coupons before ordering, which makes the process smooth and easy. The food options are great and cater to different tastes. Parking is available across the street. While there's a fee, the lot is large. The overall landscape of the market is beautiful and well-maintained. If you're looking for a market with good food, beautiful art, and a lively vibe, Cicada Market is the place to be. Highly recommended.

Large and beautiful water park in Hua Hin which is a must visit if you are here on a family holiday. We were there when it opened at 11am and were there all day until 5pm. We booked a deal via trip.com for around 1200thb per person which included towel, locker, VR and buffet. I didn't try VR myself. But the feedback from the kids was that it was quite disappointing in terms of experience and the resolution of the technology itself. When it comes to the food, I thought the buffet was a good deal for the price we paid. With the buffet option you can get as much food, drinks and snacks as you want until an hour before closing time. It's not food you'll dream about afterwards. But it's totally fine. There is a lot of choice of food stations around the place. The prices seemed totally ok. We got there at 11am when it opened and it wasn't until 1200 that it was crowded. At 3-4 pm there were significantly fewer people. Missed more info about the place, especially regarding food and dining options in advance and on the website. So here they can definitely improve. Thats why I also took alot of images from the food menues around Vana Nada to help other in the same situation. Tip: check around on both trip.com, Klook for the best deal!

The overall experience is really good but let me get one point across first. I don't know for others, but for me I feel like the floor type they have is not barefoot friendly so keep that in mind. (They do have waterproof shoes for sale but those are extra expenses.) I also heard that booking beforehand could be cheaper but I don't know for sure. The buffet is also ok, it's not amazing but it's not bad either. But I suggest adding credits to your wristbands and buy food from the stalls. That way, it might not be better pound-for-pound but it's more convenient and there are more diverse options. (Not cheap but not too expensive). Plus point for how many life guards there are. I feel really safe and they have extra security compared to anywhere I've been to. All the rides are quite generic, like all other water parks in Thailand (you can just check that up). Very good hospitality as well, both from tourists and the staffs. Oh, last thing. There's also rock climbing but you will need a sneaker to play it. Checklist - Change of cloths. - Goggles if you want to swim. (Optional) - Towel (optional, can rent) - Shampoo and soap (optional, they have 2 in 1sin every shower room) - waterproof shoes (optional, they have for sale and if you are ok with barefoot then it's fine). - Money for food credits. And if you have glasses, put those in a locker room. Don't wear clothes that hasza zipper or a button at the back because you might not be able to play some rides. Have fun!

Buy your tickets online (Trip.com or Agoda) — it’s about double the price if you buy at the entrance. Vana Nava Water Jungle is a medium-sized water park, nice enough for a half-day visit. The main restaurant (the one with burgers, fries, nuggets, salmon, etc.) was a big disappointment. What you get compared to the photos is nothing alike — the portions are ridiculously small. I had to order three meals at 300 THB each just to feel barely full. Definitely not great value, and a bit dishonest. Crowds were manageable during our visit, with a maximum wait time of about 30 minutes for the area where four slides share the same tower — although it gets messy there, with people practically stepping on each other. The VR experience didn’t look impressive, so we skipped it. The locker system with the wristband is basic but convenient. There are also a couple of climbing attractions located just to the left of the lockers and buffet restaurant, but unfortunately they were closed when we visited, which was disappointing. Overall, the park is average — nothing amazing. We’ve seen much better elsewhere, but in Thailand, especially Hua Hin, there’s not really any better option.
Mathieu C — Google review
We visited in June and it was really quiet. Service was friendly and the Park was clean. Food buffet was mediocre, but who comes here for food. We came to the Park without knowing how everything works and there was a few misunderstandings on our part. For example we didn't realise that we had to put money to our bracelet beforehand and caused a little confusion. It could have been communicated better by the Park, but the mistake was of course ours.

Monsoon Valley Vineyard

Mentioned on

$$$$expensive
Restaurant
Nestled in the picturesque Hua Hin Hills, Monsoon Valley Vineyard is a surprising gem in Thailand's wine scene. Formerly known as Hua Hin Hills, this vineyard produces new latitude wines, defying traditional norms. The lush tropical paradise of Hua Hin Hills provides a stunning backdrop for over 250 acres of vineyards.
We fully enjoyed this vineyard trip! Starting from walking around the vineyard, we had a big rain shower to be soaking during our walk, but it was a great memory for us. The tapas and wine tasting experience was beyond amazing. Under viewing down the vineyard trip, we enjoyed 5 marriages between the dish and the pairing wine. I strongly recommend this experience for wine and food lovers, this is the must to do in Hua hin!

Food was fresh and tasty. Had the wine and tapas tasting. Definitely worth it. The ambience is cooling and different as there are not many vineyards in thailand. Staff was attentive and friendly. Maybe you could have a bigger play area for the kids and have a wine tasting fee that allows customers to taste any wine they choose to.

I attended a private theater night event with a 3-course wine pairing meal. It was an incredible experience. We were super lucky with the weather—cool and pleasant, making it a great time to sit in the middle of a vineyard. The food was exceptional, perfectly complementing the classic film Sideways, which delves into intriguing topics about wine. It was a truly memorable evening, and I was grateful for the invitation!

Arrived here on the 10am shuttle from the Monsoon Valley Wine Bar. Journey time approximately 45 minutes. At 11am the group of us were taken on a vineyard tour. English speaking guide and very knowledgeable. The tour lasted about 30 minutes and included in the price of the shuttle from the wine bar if I recall correctly. The views are beautiful and it is well worth seeing. After the vineyard tour a group of us were taken to the elephant 🐘 sanctuary where we were able to feed bananas to two male elephants (6yo 10yo). Didn't last long but still enjoyable and worth doing. Back to the restaurant where we had lunch and wine tasting with tapas. Sadly this is when the place let us down as the tapas did not arrive at the same time as they gave me the wines to taste. The cashew chicken is delicious. As were the tapas. On an aside the views from the toilets are worth seeing

Very good wine and food; with an excellent atmosphere. This is my second visit to the vineyard and noticed this time we pulled up to a booth which required each person pay a cash only 200 ThB fee before you can enter the parking lot. This voucher can be used toward any expense including wine, your meal, or items in the gift shop, etc. They do not have any sweet wine options to choose from, but my party liked the Signature Red wine. The food taste and presentation are very good. I gave the food 4 stars because I thought the amount of food on several plates were a bit sparse. I would have liked to see a slightly larger portion knowing the price paid ~370 ThB per plate. The cheesecake was one of the best I've had in Thailand so far. I am not a big wine person but I don't believe you would be disappointed with this place.

I was genuinely surprised to learn that Thailand produces wine—and even more delighted to discover this stunning vineyard! The setting is absolutely gorgeous: peaceful, scenic, and immaculately maintained. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed and connected to nature. Whether you're a wine lover or just looking for a unique and tranquil experience, I highly recommend a visit. This vineyard is a true hidden gem that showcases a different side of Thailand—one that’s elegant, serene, and full of pleasant surprises. Definitely worth a visit!

Let’s get the first problem over with John Monsoon, the dessert is awful. I ordered a berry pie and it’s just a shell with berry concentrate filled to the brim, and not even your wine could tune down this deadly sweetness. But apart from their food, I think the wine tastes great! It pairs well with the beautiful, mountain-stretching vineyard. The winetasting tour on the other hand doesn’t bode well with the time I went there. It’s said that the best time to take the tour is in February or March, so I couldn’t be bothered.
