Highlights
  • Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) - Travel from Bangkok in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to your first stop in Ayutthaya, Wat Lokayasutha. This incredible temple is known for its giant reclining Buddha image, astoundingly one of the few structures left intact here.
  • Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Your next stop is Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, being part of the royal palace complex this is where royalty performed rituals. It is considered the most important temple of Ayutthaya.
  • Wat Mahathat - Then, visit Wat Mahathat Ayutthaya. One of the oldest and most significant temples in the history of Ayutthaya, it once housed the Buddha’s holy relic. Admire the famous Buddha head entwined within the roots of a Bodhi tree.
  • Wat Chaiwatthanaram - Last but not least, finish your trip at the grand, riverside Wat Chaiwattanaram. Marvel at its compelling architectural style, influenced by the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, as you wander around the monumental grounds.

Greatly recommended! - Alex was a great guide and we enjoyed so much our trip to Ayutthaya. He explained us each of every temple we went to with detail and also gave us valuable information about Thailand history and traditions and how the Thai people leave nowadays. It was a very interesting tour. Thank you Alex and driver! Laura & Laura

A must do when in Bangkok - Our guide William, very nice and kind, took us to four different sites and explained the interesting views. We were given cold bottles of water, twice, which was good because of the heat. We were brought to a local simple restaurant where we were given the option of four different Thai typical dishes. Food was included in the cost while beverages were not. We were then brought back to Bangkok in time.

This 4-hour trip to Ayutthaya is a must! - Departure time at 7.30 AM is necessary to beat the traffic and the heat. Sam is a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and with a sense of humor, and he takes care of the travellers all the time. The tour is well organized: there's plenty of time for learning Ayutthaya's history, taking pictures and free time to wander or chill having a coffee (that's unusual). Also, Sam takes into account the visits to "the happy place" (that's unusual, as well, and welcomed). Finally, the meal before returning to Bangkok is simple but tasty; it feels authentic, far from crowded places designed for us, tourists. All in all, a great experience, well balanced, that we absolutely recommend.

Great trip to enjoy day outside Bangkok - Very nice trip. I enjoyed it a lot. It was well organised, with good peace of time - enough time to enjoy every stop without rush. Our guide Alex was funny and shared a lot of nice facts about Thailand. Great idea for a trip if you want to see something outside Bangkok. Just be aware it might be very hot as there is no shade most of the time so take a hat or umbrella and sun cream.

Absolutely recommendable - Absolutely recommendable. The tour is very well organized and we had an excellent knowledgeable guide (Luke). The tour visits four of the major sites in Ayutthaya and leaves you enough time to explore each of them on your own after a thorough introduction. We also learned a lot about Thai history and Thailand in general from the guide. Lunch was also surprisingly good, so overall this tour is a 5 out of 5.
