The Thai House Experience- Learning Thai Ways 4 Days/3Nights

Print Email

Detailed Trip Description

You will have an opportunity to learn Thai ways through a stay at the "Thai House" in Nonthaburi Province. The family that owns the Thai House has been welcoming guests into their home since 1990 and people who stay there consider it a great alternative to a basic hotel. This traditional teakwood structure is situated on over 4 acres of land surrounded by fruit trees and the architectural style is one that was popular in the old Thai capital of Ayuthaya 150 years ago. Moreover, you will have chance to explore local markets & shop, visit a folk museum and take a long-tail boat ride through a maze of klongs towards Bangkok's China Town district for more shopping. Note: This is simply a suggested itinerary, which can easily be customized to suit your schedule, budget, and interests. Please contact us to discuss your tailor-made travel requirements.
