This quintessential vehicle, rare in Thailand, will take you on an exciting five-hour tour around the island's highlights.Your first destination is Chao Pho Khao Yai Shrine, where traditional Thai and Chinese temples coexist harmoniously. Hop onto a cable car for an enjoyable ride up to this sacred temple much revered by locals. Next, make your way to Mondop Roi Phraphutthabat where Buddha's footprint can be observed. Marvel at the spectacular views from one of the island's highest points.From there, head to Chong Khao Khat, a bay shaped like a crescent moon, before tracing the footsteps of royals at the Summer Palace. Explore the intriguing sea cave at Tam Talu and then conclude your tour at Hat Tham Phang beach.
