Discover the ancient city of Ayutthaya, the former capital of Siam and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a relaxed day trip from Bangkok. You travel from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and spend the day exploring its most important historical sites, combining ancient temples, river scenery, and local life into one experience.

At Wat Mahathat, you see one of the most iconic images of Thailand, the Buddha head surrounded by tree roots, a powerful symbol of nature and history coming together.  You continue to Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, one of Ayutthaya’s most recognizable temple complexes, known for its large central chedi and long rows of seated Buddha statues draped in saffron-colored robes.  Originally built during the Ayutthaya Kingdom, the temple remains an active religious site today. Visitors can walk through the grounds, explore the surrounding structures, and enjoy views over the temple area from the upper terrace of the main chedi.

After lunch at a local restaurant (own expenses), you explore Ayutthaya from the river on a boat ride, passing local houses, riverside life, and quiet scenery along the way. This journey leads you directly to Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of the most impressive temples in Ayutthaya, known for its riverside setting and Khmer-style architecture. Here you have time to walk around and take in the atmosphere before returning to Bangkok, where the day ends.

The tour ends at MBK Shopping Mall.
