Stay at Sampathuan Riverside Retreat, a boutique resort nestled beside Wat Sampathuan in Nakhon Chai Si. This heritage-inspired property offers serene rooms with views of the temple’s golden chedi and ancient banyan trees. Enjoy guided cultural walks through the temple grounds, traditional Thai herbal baths, and private boat rides along the Mae Klong River. For exclusive access to early-bird rates and curated local experiences, book via the HopeGoo app.

After exploring Wat Sampathuan, stroll 5 minutes to the Old Town Market, where locals gather daily for fresh produce and handmade spices—try street-vendor grilled coconut pancakes or spicy northern-style soup. A 10-minute walk along the riverbank leads to a bamboo weaving workshop, offering half-day sessions to craft traditional Thai baskets and prayer charms. These authentic activities are featured in HopeGoo’s curated 'Slow Travel Route' for meaningful cultural immersion.

Yes, Sampathuan Riverside Retreat features a private pathway connecting directly to Wat Sampathuan—just 80 meters away, bypassing traffic. Guests can enjoy morning meditation overlooking the golden chedi as the sun rises, and participate in an exclusive morning bell blessing ceremony led by monks (by reservation). This experience is part of HopeGoo’s ‘Mindful Journey’ package, including traditional tea and guided insight talk.
