Your day starts with a smooth hotel pick-up in Bangkok, where you’ll meet your friendly local guide and set off in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. As the city fades, enjoy a relaxed drive through suburban neighbourhoods and countryside on your way to Ayutthaya.
Your first stop is Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, where rows of serene Buddha statues and a towering chedi set the tone for the day. Next, visit Wat Lokayasutharam to see the iconic reclining Buddha resting peacefully among ancient ruins.
Continue to Bang Pa-In Palace, the former summer residence of Thai kings. Wander through beautifully landscaped gardens and admire the unique mix of Thai, European, and Chinese architecture.
Recharge with lunch at a Michelin Guide–listed local restaurant, famous for authentic Thai dishes and fresh river prawns—an essential Ayutthaya experience.
In the afternoon, explore the heart of Ayutthaya Historical Park in a more immersive way—by bicycle. Ride between legendary sites like Wat Mahathat, known for the Buddha head entwined in tree roots, and Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the kingdom’s former royal temple with its iconic chedis. Continue to Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit, home to one of Thailand’s largest bronze Buddha statues.
End the day with a relaxing boat cruise around Ayutthaya Island, passing riverside communities and historic temples along the Chao Phraya River. After a full day of culture, history, and fun, sit back and enjoy a comfortable journey back to Bangkok.
