Tour Overview

Discover the timeless charm, sacred heritage, and pristine nature of Nakhon Si Thammarat—one of Southern Thailand’s most culturally rich provinces. This private tour brings you to iconic temples, the purest-air village in Thailand, mystical legends, and the famous pink dolphins of Khanom.

Highlights

1. Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan
A revered temple currently being proposed for UNESCO World Heritage status. Officially listed on the tentative list since June 22, 2013.

2. Baan Kiriwong – The Cleanest Air in Thailand
Located in Lan Saka District, Baan Kiriwong is known for its astonishingly pure air—containing only 9 microns of dust particles per cubic meter, over 100 times cleaner than the standard benchmark. Enjoy nature, waterfalls, village bridges, homestay tranquility, and seasonal tropical fruits like durian, mangosteen, and langsat. The village is also famous for its natural tie-dye textile, a certified 5-star OTOP product.

3. Ai Khai – Wat Chedi
A legendary spirit boy deeply revered for granting wishes. Hundreds visit daily to pay respects, offer votive items like toy soldiers and firecrackers, and experience the famous “ask and you shall receive” belief.

4. Pink Dolphins of Khanom
The charming star of the Gulf of Thailand—rare, friendly, and often seen in the early morning.

5. Nakhon Si Thammarat City Pillar Shrine
A stunning complex of five buildings designed in Srivijaya-style architecture. The main golden takian-wood pillar is topped with a four-faced deity and is highly respected by locals.

6. Ta Sarn Garden – Natural Fish Spa
Relax by the cool freshwater stream as tiny fish gently nibble your feet in a natural, fun, and refreshing experience.

7. Khao Plai Dam Viewpoint
A newly popular scenic route along the coastline between Sichon and Khanom. Enjoy panoramic sea views and peaceful untouched nature.

8. Khanom – Mu Ko Thale Tai National Park
Home to long sandy beaches, pine trees, coral reefs, and pristine islands such as Koh Matsum and Koh Matkong. The area is ideal for snorkeling, swimming, and dolphin-watching.
