Day 1: Arrival and Sriracha Exploration (Novotel Marina Sriracha)

Afternoon:

After checking in at Novotel Marina Sriracha, settle into your room and enjoy views of the marina or the sea. The hotel sits right by the water in Si Racha, making it easy to explore local sights.

Head to Koh Loi Island, just a short drive away. A peaceful walk brings you to a pretty Thai-Chinese temple and a quiet spot to watch the sunset over the water.

Evening:

Return to the hotel to freshen up, then head to Blue Marble Steak & Grill for a relaxed dinner—great for steaks and a seaside view. You could also try other hotel restaurants, which serve tasty international dishes.

After dinner, unwind at the Silver Moon Rooftop Bar on the 26th floor. Enjoy live music and a cocktail with a view of the ocean. Arrive early to catch any drink promotions.

If you want more relaxation, dip into the hotel’s outdoor infinity pool or treat yourself to a massage or spa session before calling it a night. Novotel Marina Sriracha blends cultural exploration, scenic beauty, and comfort—making it a perfect start to your weekend escape.

Day 2: Koh Si Chang Island Adventure

Morning:

Begin your day with breakfast at Novotel Marina Sriracha, where both Thai and international dishes are served. After a relaxing start—whether by the pool, in the fitness centre, or at the spa—you can head to Koh Loy Pier for the ferry. The boat ride to Koh Si Chang takes about 40–45 minutes and offers scenic views across the Gulf of Thailand.

Afternoon on Koh Si Chang:

Once you arrive, explore the island using a Skylab tuk-tuk (unique to Koh Si Chang) or rent a scooter for more freedom. Highlights include:

• Phra Chudadhuj Palace – Built in the late 19th century for King Rama V, the palace grounds now serve as a museum. Visitors can walk through its gardens, restored buildings, and exhibits that tell the story of the royal family’s time on the island.
• Wat Tham Yai Prik – A quiet temple with a large golden Buddha, offering a peaceful atmosphere.
• Chao Pho Khao Yai Shrine – A hilltop shrine important to both locals and pilgrims, especially during Chinese festivals. It also gives great views of the coastline.
• Tham Phang Beach – The island’s main sandy beach, known for swimming, kayaking, and relaxing by the water. Small restaurants by the beach serve simple but tasty seafood dishes.

Other options include short boat trips for fishing or kayaking and nature walks around quieter parts of the island.

For lunch or an early dinner, try one of the island’s seafood restaurants. Local spots such as iThalay and Pee Noi’s Seafood are known for fresh squid, crab, and prawns cooked in Thai style.

Late Afternoon:

Return to the ferry pier for the boat ride back to Siracha. The day combines history, culture, beach time, and food, giving visitors a full picture of what makes Koh Si Chang such a special and peaceful escape.
