Your route

1. 1 Hua Hin 2 nights
2. 2 Bangkok 2 nights

1. Day 1 Hua Hin

   Arrive Bangkok, drive to Hua Hin.

   Welcome to Thailand. Indian travellers can get a visa on arrival, and must fill in the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online before landing. Our representative meets you at Bangkok airport, and you transfer to Hua Hin, a royal seaside resort about three hours south. Check in to your hotel by the beach. Spend the evening at the Hua Hin night market, with grilled seafood, fruit and souvenirs. Hua Hin is calmer and quieter than Pattaya or Phuket, popular with Thai families and older travellers. Overnight in Hua Hin.

2. Day 2 Hua Hin

   Beach day, Cicada Market.

   A day at leisure in Hua Hin, a relaxed seaside town loved by the Thai royal family. Walk along the long sandy beach, or visit the Hua Hin railway station, with its red and cream royal waiting pavilion, and Maruekhathaiyawan Palace, a teak summer palace on stilts by the sea. In the evening, visit the Cicada Market, an arts and food market held on weekend evenings. Golf, kiteboarding and pony rides on the beach are also popular here. Overnight in Hua Hin.

3. Day 3 Bangkok

   Back to Bangkok.

   After a slow breakfast by the sea, transfer back to Bangkok, about three hours. Check in to your hotel and spend the rest of the day relaxing. In the evening, visit Asiatique riverside night market, or enjoy a Chao Phraya dinner cruise at extra cost, with views of the temples and city lit up at night. The road passes salt flats and coconut plantations. Bangkok's malls stay open late, so you can shop after dinner. Our team is on WhatsApp if you need help with plans. Overnight in Bangkok.

4. Day 4 Bangkok

   Golden Buddha and Marble Temple.

   A guided city tour of Bangkok. Visit Wat Traimit, home to a solid gold Buddha weighing over five tonnes, and Wat Benchamabophit, the Marble Temple, built of Italian marble. Stop at a gems gallery and King Power duty-free. The afternoon is free for shopping at Siam Paragon, MBK or Pratunam, or a traditional Thai massage. Dress modestly for the temples, covering shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering. Bargaining is expected at markets but not in malls, and the Skytrain helps beat the traffic. Overnight in Bangkok.

5. Day 5 Bangkok

   Departure.

   After breakfast, check out of your hotel. Depending on your flight time, enjoy some last shopping for Thai silk, spices or snacks. Our driver transfers you to Suvarnabhumi airport for your flight home. Please reach three hours before departure and claim VAT refunds on eligible purchases before check-in. Pack Thai snacks and silk carefully in your checked luggage, and keep your visa on arrival receipt and passport handy. Your Thailand holiday ends here, with memories of golden temples, limestone cliffs and island sunsets.
