Highlights
  • MAM Holidays Thailand - Our English speaking guide will pick you up from your hotel in the Bangkok City area at 8 am and head to Ayutthaya Historical Park, also known as Ayutthaya Ruins or the Ancient City.
  • Historic City of Ayutthaya - This once magnificent capital city, located 80 km from Ayutthaya, was destroyed by the Burmese army in 1767 and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Many palaces, temples, and chedis still stand. In 1782, Ayutthaya became the capital of Thailand. Key attractions include the large bronze statues of Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, and Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon.
  • Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit - This large bronze seated Buddha image, Phra Mongkhon Bophit, is one of the largest in Thailand, measuring 9.5 meters across the lap and 12.5 meters in height. The Buddha is seated in the Subduing Mara position. During Ayutthaya’s second fall, the building and image were severely damaged by fire. The current Vihara and Buddha image were reconstructed and renovated during King Rama V’s reign. The open area east of the Vihara was once Sanam Luang, where royal cremation ceremonies were held.
  • Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon - One of Ayutthaya’s most significant temples, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon has a rich history and remains an active temple where monks reside. Thai people visit to pay respects to Buddha and to honor King Naresuan the Great, one of Thailand’s most revered kings.
  • Wat Phra Sri Sanphet - Located on the city island in Ayutthaya’s World Heritage park in Pratu Chai Sub-district, this monastery has been a national historic site since 5 March 1935. It was the most important temple in Ayutthaya and was situated within the Grand Palace grounds. It served as a model for Bangkok’s Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
  • Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam) - Wat Lokaya Sutha, or “the temple of the Earth,” is near the northwest tip of the historical island, close to the old Royal Palace and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. The highlight is its 42-meter-long Reclining Buddha image, usually draped in orange cloth. Apart from the central prang, which is in good condition, little more than the base of the main buildings remains today.
  • Wat Mahathat - Located almost in the center of Ayutthaya, Wat Mahathat (Temple of the Great Relics) was the symbolic center where the Buddha’s relics were enshrined and the residence of the Supreme Patriarch, the leader of Thai Buddhist monks. The temple is believed to have been built during the 14th century A.D. (early Ayutthaya period).
  • Bang Pa In Palace - An ancient palace dating back to the Ayutthaya era, Bang Pa-in Palace was built by King Prasart Thong and later rebuilt by King Mongkut after being abandoned for a long time. The palace is divided into two zones: the inner zone for the royal family as a resting place and the outer zone open to the public and tourists.

After a delightful day, you will return to Bangkok at 5:00 pm.

Great trip and definitely worth going - Very good tour to learn about the history. The tour is very knowledgeable and had shared a lot of stories about the temples and the summer palace. The driver had managed smooth drive and always turn up on time for pickup from each attraction. The car was very clean, spacious and has good aircon.

Friendly and patient guide!! - 8人でこちらのツアーを予約しました。10人乗りのハイエースタイプのバンでホテルまで迎えに来てくれました。ガイドのAさんはいつも笑顔で優しく英語で遺跡などについて説明してくれました。帰りもホテルまで送ってくれたのでストレスなく半日のツアーができました。他にも別の会社の安いツアーもありましたが、食事付き、交通費込み、遺跡の入場料なども込み込みなら価値のあるツアーだと思います。 8 of us booked this tour and they came to pick us up in a 10 seater van at the hotel. Our guide, P’ A was very friendly with a lot of knowledge about the historical sites in Ayutthaya! She always took care of us and tried to make sure that everything is ok with our group and always gave us a nice smile. I’d definitely recommend her as the guid!! They picked us up at the hotel and brought us back to the hotel and they made our trip very easy!! There were cheaper tours of other companies, but I t was definitely worth paying them the amount!!

Great day tour of Ayutthaya! - We enjoyed a wonderful and very educational Private Ayutthaya Day Tour from Bangkok. Our guide Supatsara was friendly and welcoming. She was very knowledgeable, and we appreciated just how much information she shared about Buddhism, the the ruins and history of Ayutthaya, and the history of Thailand. It was a very hot and humid day, so Supatsara made sure we were as comfortable as possible, offering us water and stopping for lunch when we requested. I would highly recommend this tour and Supatsara as your guide. The whole experience definitely exceeded our expectations.
