About this activity
Visit the former capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya, situated approximately 75 kilometres north of Bangkok and which is
one of those destinations you have to see. The mix of cultures in Ayutthaya began in the mid-16 th century when
ships from Ayutthaya plied the Asian seas, trading with neighbouring countries. When the Dutch showed up in the
17 th century, Ayutthaya became a port city and trade routes were extended to China, Japan, Indonesia, Portugal,
Holland and France and even up to the Scandinavian countries later. Although the ancient villages of foreign
traders lining on the Chao Phraya riverbanks were abandoned when the city was sacked by Burmese troops in
1767, some remnants have survived and now showcase the city’s past glory. The tour will start at the Summer
Palace of the late King Rama V, commonly known as “Bang Pa-In”. You will then continue to the magnificent ruins
of early splendour that Ayutthaya is famous for all over the world. We will pass or visit all the most impressive ruins
of this World Heritage Site. We will eventually return to Bangkok by cruising down the Chao Phraya River on a
comfortable, air-conditioned cruise ship, while enjoying a sumptuous buffet lunch on board. Upon arrival at the
disembarkation point in Bangkok in the late afternoon, we will transfer you back to your booked hotel.
Note: Kindly be aware that proper attire is required to enter the Summer Palace
