Itinerary

Ayutthaya

1 h 15 min

Begin your adventure in the morning with a comfortable minivan ride from your hotel in Bangkok to Ayutthaya.
Bang Pa In Palace

one hour Admission included

Our first stop is the elegant Bang Pa-In Royal Summer Palace. As we walk through its peaceful gardens, discover how Siamese kings once spent their summers here, welcoming foreign guests and members of the royal court among graceful pavilions and tranquil lakes.
Wat Yai Chaya Mongkol

one hour Admission included

One of the first temple visits is Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, one of Ayutthaya’s most impressive temple complexes. Its towering bell-shaped stupa was built to celebrate a legendary royal victory in an elephant battle, while rows of saffron-robed Buddha statues line the temple grounds. At the rear of the complex, a large reclining Buddha rests peacefully among the temple ruins, adding another memorable highlight to this remarkable site.
Ayutthaya

one hour

Enjoy a delicious riverside lunch at a local restaurant, savoring authentic Thai flavors while taking in the tranquil views.
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

You will also see the royal temple marked by three iconic chedis that once held the ashes of ancient kings (Wat Phra Sri Sanphet), along with the impressive former royal palace grounds that once stood at the center of the kingdom’s power.
Wat Mahathat

45 min Admission included

One of the highlights is the temple home to one of Thailand’s most famous sights: the mysterious Buddha head entwined within the roots of a sacred Bodhi tree (Wat Mahathat).
Ayutthaya

In the afternoon, board a traditional river boat and cruise along the Chao Phraya River around the island.
