About this activity
You will be met by your guide upon your morning arrival at Laem Chabang Port. From here, you will travel approximately 2.5-hours to Ayutthaya.
Discover the historical highlights of Ayutthaya by minivan and boat on this day trip to the ancient capital of Thailand. You will reach Bang Pa-In Palace, boasting a mix of European, gothic and Thai-Buddhist architecture. There’s time to explore the vast grounds that include several temple complexes, a watch tower and a tranquil lake.
Hop back into the minivan and take a short trip to Wat Yai Chai Mongkol on the eastern banks of the Pa Sak River, a temple said to have been built by King U-Thong as the place for monks returning from Sri Lanka to rest their heads. Next up is Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, a temple that forbids monks to enter (due to its ‘royal’ status), and then on to Wat Mahathat, a highly-sacred temple famous for its Lord Buddha relics and traditional style once used as a model for other temples in the ancient kingdom. What seems to be the most prominent landmark of the temple is the head of a sandstone Buddha image entwined in the roots of a Bodhi tree.
Enjoy an inclusive lunch in a riverside restaurant before more cultural action in the afternoon by cruising along the river to see the ruins.
Once the day is complete you will be taken back to Laem Chabang Port safely.
