– the mysterious Buddha head entwined in the roots at Wat Mahathat.
– the three royal chedis of Wat Phra Si Sanphet, remnants of the old royal palace.

At midday, enjoy a traditional Thai lunch set in a tranquil riverside setting. In the afternoon, visit Wat Phanan Choeng, a living temple and major centre of devotion that houses one of Thailand’s largest seated Buddha statues.
To gently conclude the day, an authentic stop at the rice fields await share a local snack such as fresh fruit, cakes, or cold drinks with the farmers, learn about their way of life, and experience a simple, human connection.
