Full description

Choose to meet your guide at the meeting point or take advantage of hotel transfer services from your accommodation in Bangkok. Drive towards the Ancient city of Ayutthaya, the former capital of Thailand. Make your first stop at Wat Phra Sri Sanphet which was for a long time considered to be the spiritual center of Thailand. Situated within the royal palace grounds, the temple is the royal monastery and is a model of the royal temple of the Emerald Buddha or Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. Then, head to Wat Mahathat Ayutthaya which is one of the oldest and most significant temples in the history of Ayutthaya as it housed the Buddha's holy relic. The temple is most famous for the Buddha head situated in a Bodhi tree root. Next, stop at Wat Ratchaburana which houses a large number of Buddha images and gold artifacts. Enjoy lunch that will be served at Krungsri River Hotel. In the afternoon, continue on to the Chao Samphraya National Museum. Admire the most important objects here including the Buddha relics found inside the crypt of Wat Mahathat and other golden treasures like the golden sword, the golden headgear (hat), the miniature royal regalia, golden sculptures, and more. Then, visit Wat Lokaya Sutharam to see the 42-meter-long reclining white Buddha.

Last but not least, finish the trip at Wat Chaiwattanaram which rests on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. Learn about how the temple was ordered to built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong to honor his mother featuring the architectural style influenced by the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. Arrive back in Bangkok at around 5 PM.

I highly recommend this all-inclusive private guided tour to Ayuttaha which is excellent value for money and helped us avoid the crowds. Sam - our friendly, knowledgeable guide, picked my friend and me up early from our Bangkok hotel in a clean, new, air-conditioned car. We traveled in safety and comfort to the five main temple sites and Sam gave interesting, informative historical commentary and happily answered our many questions. We had a lovely lunch in a local restaurant and finished the day at the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum where we viewed beautiful artifacts discovered during excavation works and restorations of ancient temples. Transport, entry tickets, and lunch were all included in the cost.

Our driver Mr.Boeing and our driver MrSakka made sure that we had a memorable trip to Ayutthaya. They reached the hotel lobby dot on time and drove us safely to Ayutthaya. Right from the start they showed genuine interest in helping us with anything we might need often going above and beyond. They patiently answered our queries, explained tje detailed history of all the sites. The lunch arranged was very tasty !They looked after us very well during th trip. Thank you to their hard work - we had a memorable stay in Bangkok

The trip was great, Boeing was very professional and offered great insights into each sights, the extra history lessons was helpful for me. I particularly enjoyed the jokes he gave (not sure if they were accidental), not always political correct but very very funny. The driver Mr Wing(?), was also very helpful, offered ice towels and water along the way as it was a particularly hot day. Overall, I think the trip was worth it.
