Bangkok is a city that blends the ancient with the modern, the noble with the commonplace, the indulgent with the restrained. As Thailand's capital and largest city, and Southeast Asia's second-largest, Bangkok offers a vibrant fusion of time and space.
How to get to Bangkok (Don Mueang International Airport, airport code DMK; Suvarnabhumi International Airport, airport code BKK)
There are many flights to Bangkok, the meeting point. We recommend that you purchase direct flights from all over the country to Bangkok:
1. Direct flights to Bangkok from many domestic destinations (Air Asia, Spring Airlines, China Southern Airlines, etc.)
2. In addition, you can choose to transfer in Hong Kong, Macau and other places with airlines such as Thai Airways and Hong Kong Airlines
3. If you purchase a connecting flight, please note that there should be a certain amount of time between the two flights: generally more than 3 hours, to avoid being late and missing the flight.

All day
丨Itinerary presentation
After breakfast at the hotel, we'll head to the Maeklong Railway Market to watch the trains arrive and experience the ride. This market is a magical sight in Thailand, known as an internet-famous market because the stalls line both sides of the train tracks. Eight trains pass through the market daily, and the sight of trains brushing up against the stalls is quite thrilling. After watching the trains arrive, we'll also experience the green train for ourselves.
After lunch, we will head to Khao Wang Palace, which is located on a hill in Phetchaburi Province. King Rama IV of Thailand loved the elegant atmosphere of the mountain so much that he built a palace on the top of the mountain and named it "Phra Nakhon Khiri", which means "city in the mountain". It has now been converted into the National Phra Nakhon Khiri Museum.
We'll then travel south to Hua Hin, a beloved resort town of Thai royalty. Our first visit to Hua Hin will begin at the iconic Hua Hin Railway Station, a striking landmark. Crafted entirely of teak, its red-painted beams and roof, paired with yellow walls, the vibrant colors exude a rich Thai atmosphere.
Afterwards, we went to [Hua Hin Beach Horseback Riding], in front of the endless sea, under the gentle sunset, riding a white horse to roam the beach, the girl's dream and the boy's heroic spirit were fully displayed.

Its pure white base, vibrant colors, inlaid ceramic pieces, stained glass, and shells, and symmetrical design create a truly captivating experience. The white pagoda, beautiful against the blue sky, exudes a sacredness and an indescribable freshness. No wonder it stands out among Bangkok's many temples, attracting countless visitors.
