So beautiful and easy to get around! Go see it! - Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand apparently, but it is still a vibrant little city today. The ancient temples and the modern city are mixed together. We picked about 5 temples we most wanted to see --- Wat Mahathat, Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Phra Ram, and Wat Chai Watthanaram. Seeing these gave us the Buddah head embedded in the trunk of a growing tree and the giant reclining buddah--plus lots of other beautiful things. It is free to go to Ayutthaya---a couple of the temples had a tiny entry fee, but for the most part you just wander around as you want to. Ayutthaya is about a one hour drive from Bangkok, but it is absolutely worth the time to get there! If we had not gone I would still be kicking myself. We could have hired a grab for the day, but this time we decided to ask our hotel to get us a driver. He spoke good English and showed us a few extra temples he really likes---I think paying him was a good call. So for us, Ayutthaya came in thethird and final week of our trip. We spent the previous week in Cambodia exploring many breathtaking temples. The big difference with Ayutthaya's temples is that they were much closer together, and because town is basically laid down all around them, you didn't have the long walk to reach them as you often had in Cambodia. After three weeks of climbing, walking, etc. I was perfectly happy to be able to step out of the car and walk 30 feet to a temple. The temples are absolutely beautiful! Really spectacular. I'm so glad we got to see them!

Great Ayutthaya tour - We embarked on the Ayutthaya tour with Mr. Ohm, and it was truly fantastic. A captivating journey that not only entertained us but also deepened our understanding of Thailand's rich history. Both our guide and driver were exceptionally friendly, making the trip incredibly comfortable and engaging. We explored various sites in Ayutthaya, caught glimpses of rice fields (keeping in mind that visibility is limited during the dry season), and enjoyed a delightful lunch at a local restaurant. The comfortable air-conditioned car was a welcome relief on hot days, and the provision of cold wet wipes added a thoughtful touch for cooling down. We felt exceptionally well taken care of throughout the tour. A heartfelt thank you for enriching our experience with the incredible culture of Thailand.

Great tour & Hospitable Staff - This excursion stands out as one of the most enjoyable I've experienced – impeccably organized, with an outstanding guide and a wealth of beautiful scenery and historical sites. The visit to the Ayutthaya temples proved to be the highlight of my stay in Bangkok. A full-day tour to Ayutthaya commenced with an early morning hotel pickup and concluded with a late afternoon drop-off. We explored the ancient capital of Siam, enjoying breathtaking views of temples, ruins, and Buddha monuments lining the Chao Phraya River. Notable moments included a visit to the reclining Buddha statue at Wat Chai Mongkol and another Buddha whose head was entwined in tree roots. The summer palace of King Rama IV, reached through picturesque gardens along a river, showcased an intriguing blend of Thai, Chinese, Gothic, and even Greek influences. The palace, doubling as a small museum, offered a fascinating glimpse into history. Lunch was a delightful buffet served on a ship during a river cruise along the Chao Phraya River, featuring a variety of soups, a DIY salad bar, and delectable desserts. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to anyone seeking a blend of cultural richness, historical exploration, and scenic beauty in the heart of Thailand.

Promptly picked up and drop off - I was promptly picked up from my cruise ship by Raht, whose excellent English made communication seamless for non-Thai speakers. Embarked on a full-day excursion to Historical Ayutthaya, and it truly lived up to expectations. The temple ruins are awe-inspiring; if you find yourself in Bangkok, allocate a day for this experience (approximately an hour away). Enjoyed a delightful lunch, though be cautious – the Thai concept of mild spice is a touch spicier than the American counterpart :). Returned to the ship after a fulfilling day.
