Description
Travel back in time on a guided group tour from Bangkok. Walk the elegant grounds of Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and marvel at the towering chedis inside Ayutthaya Historical Park
Your journey begins at a centrally located meeting point in Bangkok, where you’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The first stop is Wat Phukhao Thong (Monastery of the Golden Mount), located just outside the old city island. Marvel at its unique architectural blending and learn about the historic victories associated with this towering monument.
Next, enter the heart of the UNESCO-listed Ayutthaya Historical Park. Step inside the grand complex of the Ancient Palace and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, which served as the royal chapel and spiritual center for over 400 years. Nearby, witness the impressive bronze Buddha image enshrined at Vihan Phra Mongkol Bopit, followed by a stop at Wat Lokayasutha to see the striking 42-meter-long outdoor Reclining Buddha.
Keep your energy up with a curated local Thai lunch box, specially prepared to maximize your time exploring the monuments rather than waiting in crowded restaurants.
In the afternoon, visit the enchanting Bang Pa-In Summer Palace. Stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens and admire the eclectic mix of Thai, Chinese, and European architectural styles. Learn how this riverside retreat has been used by Thai monarchs since the 17th century for royal receptions and state banquets.
Conclude your cultural adventure with a relaxing drive back to Bangkok, dropping you off at drop off point.
