    Overview
    Visit the Ayutthaya temples on a cultural day trip from Bangkok, it's a highlight of any Thailand visit. The tour to the ancient capital of Siam includes a trip by riverboat, a must-do activity when you're in Bangkok, with close-up views of the temples and historic sites that line the Chao Phraya River
    Highlights
    • Escape Bangkok on a trip to Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
    • Admire temples and palaces with a mix of architectural styles
    • A guide brings the history of each landmark to life
    • Relax during a coach journey and river cruise
    • Avoid the hassle of public transport and car hire
    What to Expect
    Following hotel pickup in Bangkok, you’ll travel north to the UNESCO-listed Ayutthaya, the former capital of Thailand (aka the Kingdom of Siam). On arrival, you’ll disembark the coach and embark on a walking tour of Ayutthaya temples, monasteries, and palaces. Admire temples such as Wat Mongkhon Bophit, Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, and Wat Phanan Choeng, famed for its gilded seated Buddha statue. Marvel at the well-preserved summer palace of King Rama IV with its mixture of Thai, Chinese, and Gothic architecture. All admission fees are included in the price of the tour. After lunch, you’ll return to Bangkok via the Chao Phraya River (Mae Nam Chao Phraya) on a scenic cruise. The tour ends with hotel drop-off.

    A well organised tour

    Our guide explained the historical significance while we travelled in an airconditioned bus to Ayutthaya. The palace and temple sites are not close together in Ayutthaya so a bus is required to travel between them. I would have preferred to have some more free time...More

    We called through Orbitz who put us in contact with the company about arranging a pick up from our hotel and a drop off afterwards. No extra cost.
