Bangkok Language and Cultural Adventures

Set against wide mountain views, we will visit a wild ostrich cafe and also Samnaksong Huai Nam Sai Charoentham, which is a Buddhist temple modelled after Myanmar’s Kyaiktiyo Pagoda (Golden Rock), and a cute lemon farm. For this car pooling trip to Ratchaburi (2 hours drive from Bangkok), our vehicle is already half-filled with friends and looking for more positive vibes friends ! As it is the countryside, there is so much of natural and cultural things to explore here !

It’s the Year of the Fire Horse. What’s better than onsen + horse-riding?
For this car pooling trip to Kanchanaburi (2.5-3 hours drive from Bangkok), our vehicle is already half-filled with friends and looking for more positive vibes friends ! We will then take a short boat ride across the River Khwae to enjoy special access to a variety of thermal pools (with 15 different "flavors” such as coffee, blue pea flower, milk etc). Entrance fee is THB 650 per person, which includes the boat ride and access to all pools.

In the afternoon, we’ll hit one of Kanchanaburi’s more relaxed nature cafés with horses — perfect for sipping coffee, taking photos, and even trying a bit of riding. Here you can do a 15-minute horse ride with an instructor (350 THB) to get that real rustic feel and scenic backdrop ;)

Schedule:
7am: We will depart in an air-conditioned luxury van or sedan car from pickup point near Asok, Ploenchit or Nana BTS (depending on number of persons).

12.30pm: Leave for lunch.
2pm: We will stop by for coffee at nearby cafes. There is plenty to choose from, with beautiful views of river khwae and the railway/train as well as the lovely nature café that also offers horse riding — great for photo ops and a gentle ride with an instructor guiding throughout.

For this car pooling trip to a province outside Bangkok (2 hours drive), we start the day at Little Town Sriracha — a laid-back, seaside spot with rustic architecture, cosy corners and chilled café vibes by the sea. Think old wooden windows, leafy walkways, ocean views and slow mornings with coffee in hand — a place that feels unhurried and quietly cool.

Sriracha is more than just the famous sauce ;)

From there, we continue the journey to swim at a secret beach in Chonburi.

Crystal clear water, white powdery sand…. what more can you ask for ? No hordes of tourists like in Pattaya; better water/sand quality than Hua Hin ! After dipping in the natural waters, we will have a local meal at a seaside/mountainside Thai restaurant with good views, followed by visits to nearby cafes !

Schedule (tentative):
7am: We will depart in an air-conditioned VIP van from pickup point near Asoke, Nana or Phloen Chit BTS. For comfort, we will keep group small so as to use a 9-seater van (instead of a 13-seater van).
9am: Arrive at Little Town Sriracha. Free time to explore the area, take photos, enjoy coffee or light bites, and ease into the day with good seaside vibes.
10.30am: Depart for secret beach.
11.30am: Arrive at secret beach. Swim or suntan or just chill !
1pm: Leave for a local Thai restaurant (20min drive). Vegan/vegetarian options available.
1.20pm-2.30pm: Lunch
2.30pm: We will drive to another cafe with good views — either a matcha cafe or a cafe in the forest — it's good to chill in nature for some good vibes and air ;)
4pm: We will head back to Bangkok in the afternoon and expect to reach Bangkok around 5.30 or 6pm.
