Description
Explore the ancient capital of Ayutthaya on a small group bus tour from Bangkok. Visit the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, Ayutthaya Historical Park, and Wat Chaiwatthanaram.
Begin your journey bright and early from Bangkok as you head to Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, the stunning summer residence of former Thai kings. Wander through its elegant European-inspired architecture, shimmering pagodas, and tranquil lakes — a perfect introduction to Thailand’s royal heritage.
Next, step back in time at the Ayutthaya Historical Park, a fascinating complex dating back to 1350. With your expert guide, explore magnificent temple ruins and learn captivating stories of ancient Buddhist history. Visit Wat Mahathat, where a Buddha head entwined in tree roots has become an iconic symbol of resilience. Admire the immense seated Buddha at Wat Mongkol Borpit, and marvel at the sacred Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, once the holiest site in the royal capital.
Your final stop is Wat Chaiwatthanaram, a riverside temple famed for its towering chedis and picture-perfect sunset views — a lasting reminder of Ayutthaya’s glory. After soaking in the views (and plenty of photos), relax on the air-conditioned bus ride back to Bangkok after a full day of exploration.
