Each scenic spot has its own characteristics. The caves make people feel like they are exploring the cave. The paths in the Royal Palace are very comfortable to walk. At Hua Hin Beach, you can ride horses and take beautiful photos. It feels so good to look at the sea❤️

The tour guide gave a very detailed introduction. Overall, I felt that the itinerary was pretty good. Although the driving time is relatively long, it takes about 6 hours to go back and forth from Bangkok to Hua Hin. It was great to see the statues in the cave and the seaside scenery was also very good. It is the old and new station of Hua Hin. It feels like nothing!

Tour was well managed and tour guide Chris is very knowledgeable and patient. Helpful with photo taking and sharing interesting anecdotes about the sites. Lunch stop is amazing. Crab omelette and Tom yum goong are must-orders. Hua Hin beach visit was alright; the weather was not on our side. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!

Tham Khao Luang is amazing! worth to go down and up staircase. try not to bring too many things. Lunch is local food fare. worth to order coconut on your own. if you wish to choose your own, can order directly from restaurant.
