What to expect

  1. Wat Chaiwatthanaram
    2h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Begin your journey by meeting the group at the designated meeting point or hotel pick-up. From there, travel to Ayutthaya Province, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in history and culture. Your first stop is Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of Ayutthaya’s most revered and picturesque temples. Commissioned in 1630 A.D. by King Prasat Thong as a tribute to his mother, this iconic temple showcases a stunning fusion of Thai and Khmer architecture, inspired by the grandeur of Cambodia’s Angkor temples. (Total time includes travel from Bangkok to Ayutthaya.)
  2. Wat Phra Sri Sanphet
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Next, continue your exploration with a visit to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, one of Ayutthaya's most important and iconic landmarks, located within the grounds of the ancient royal palace. This sacred site is best known for its three majestic stupas, which beautifully reflect the elegance of Ceylonese architectural influence. Situated nearby are the impressive ruins of Wat Phra Si Sanphet and the more modern Wat Mongkhon Bophit, making it convenient to experience both historical depth and spiritual grandeur within the same morning or afternoon.
  3. Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Continue your journey with a visit to Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit, home to one of Thailand’s largest and most revered Buddha images. This impressive bronze statue, depicting the Buddha in the posture of subduing Mara, measures 9.55 meters across the lap and stands 12.45 meters tall, radiating a sense of peace, power, and spiritual significance.
  4. Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam)
    30m · Admission ticket included
    Next, discover the serenity of Wat Lokayasutha, home to one of Ayutthaya’s most iconic landmarks — the largest reclining Buddha image on the island. This magnificent outdoor statue stretches 42 meters in length and rises 8 meters high, offering a breathtaking sight that captures the peaceful essence of Buddhist artistry and devotion.
  5. Wat Mahathat
    3h · Admission ticket included
    Conclude your Ayutthaya adventure with a visit to one of the city's most revered and historically significant temples, Wat Mahathat, once the spiritual heart of the ancient capital, this sacred site famously housed a relic of the Buddha. Among its many wonders, you'll encounter one of Ayutthaya's most iconic and photogenic sights, the sandstone head of a Buddha image gently cradled within the roots of a sacred Bodhi tree, a powerful symbol of nature and spirituality intertwined. After your exploration, enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, offering a taste of authentic regional flavors. Following lunch, relax on your return journey to Bangkok, with the group arriving back at the meeting point around 3:00 PM. (Total time includes travel from Ayutthaya to Bangkok.)
