There are 2 boat options either take the hop on hop off tourist boat that cost approx 150 baht unlimited stop or just take the 8 baht trip to Iconsiam mall. This is a great way to experience the boat at Bangkok Chao Phraya River.

The rest of the days is shopping at Siam district and having local Thai food.

Day 3 which is the Theme park day with cafes hopping. So we start of our trip at 9am heading to Nakhon Pathom area where all the Instagramable cafe is located.

We start with Memory House cafe where the decorations like English home with colourful grass design next to the river view. Very beautiful cafe. 

Then hop to the next cafe Bubbles in the forest where the cafe have a man-made lake with nice huts all over the cafe. We came here for the brunch but quality seems average but everyone came for the photoshoot and it is a tourist target attraction.

Then after the meal we head on to Dream World and journey take an hour. This theme park is less busy n mostly locals visitors. Queue is short and minimum waiting time or no wait with multiple rides.

This park is really suitable for kids between height of 90 to 120 cm. There are rides like antique car, bump boat, helicopter ride and etc etc. There are some thrilling rides for teenagers and a special attraction on Snowtown

It is Safari day at Bangkok. We hire a car with driver from Bangkok Vanlental for 2 days. It is a good option to go private for the Safari tour.

So we start our journey at 9am and about an hour to reach Safari world. There are 2 park Safari park which is the outdoor where we drive our car into the wilderness. We start with this park against the crowd where they are chasing orang utan show. We have some private at the safari park. The highlight of coz is the lion.

Then we straight to the marine park where all the show and feeding is located. Seriously the show schedule is s one after another and it is quite rushing. Just go with your pace and choose the show wisely. We have some feeding for the kid and he is enjoying. I believe the feeding giraffe is the must do in the list for some photoshoot. 

After the park, we went to Chocolate Ville for late lunch. This place is a restaurant like Disneyland. Very colourful place where it also capture crowd attention.

Finally we rush to chatuchak weekend market as it was Sunday. This area is really jam. The souvenirs from Thailand should buy from here as it is the cheapest. There are varieties of shop that we should target as kindly plan accordingly with the map online.

Day 2

Day 4: Resort check out and transfer back to KL with local delight stopover

We have a stroll along the beach in the morning before having our breakfast. Then we pack our luggage and check out and took the 10am speed boat. Everything was smooth and resort assist to pick up luggage from room or reception to the jetty.

The MPV driver and a buddy arrive sharp at the jetty with his Starex MPV at 12:30pm. Then we depart around 1pm and drop by a nearby fish keropok factory "Keropok cap ikan mas wan hassan" and you may search exactly the words in Google map. 

Then we proceed our journey back using the KT and highway to KL as per map reference.

We managed to reach Bukit Tinggi town at 7:20pm for our reunion dinner on mid autumn festival before reaching back KL for another an hour.

Day 3: Perhentian Diving and Snorkeling

Heading to the dive center for the morning dive departure at 8:30am right after the resort breakfast. There are some open water and instructor course on going and I was just tag along for the leisure dive at Batu Nisan dive site at Perhentian Kecil between long beach and d'lagoon. Many clown fish and saw a school of fusiliers which is beautiful. Check out the dive!!

After the dive, we can have some beach activities like sand castle built up and beach swimming. There are a swimming pool at the resort for those that wanna have a normal swim. 

After lunch and a light rest, then we head to our snorkeling trips to 3 locations. I would highly recommend shark point and turtle point as well. The rest is reef fish snorkeling.

Day 2 Island transfer and Resort check in with some water sports activities

We depart from Temu Primula Hotel around 10:15am and reach jetty before 10:30. It is a short travel distance to jetty which is very convenient. We booked Perhentian Island Resort located at Pulau Perhentian Besar. There are an office next to the ticket counter on the right towards the jetty.

There are 2 fees charge for every tourist. There are RM5 for government service tax and then another RM5 for the island conversation as per photo reference.

The speed boat depart around 11am++ and it just took around 30 minutes to reach the destination. The resort has a nice private beach and beautiful chalet room especially the premier beach front. The check in process was quick but we can only get the room at 3pm. Guest can have lunch and proceed with any water sport activities while waiting for the room. It is advisable to get the full board package as the meals at the resort is highly recommended.

I went for my refresher diving. There are not much to focus as it was refresher and they are some hiccups like mask and fun adjustment. Overall it is a good dive with Perhentian Island Divers which lead by Mr. Andy.
