Ayutthaya Discovery Private Tour & Chao Phraya Cruise

Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Bangkok as you journey 80 kilometers north to the ancient city of Ayutthaya, Thailand’s second capital from 1350 to 1767. This province is a treasure trove of evocative ruins, featuring once-magnificent palaces, temples, and fortresses.

Your exploration starts at the Ayutthaya Historical Park, a sprawling area filled with historical sites recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since December 1991.

A royal monastery that once served as the residence of the supreme monk, famous for the Buddha head entwined within the roots of a tree.

The largest and most significant temple in Ayutthaya, originally serving as a royal palace.

This site houses a large bronze Buddha image, which was originally enshrined in the open outside the Grand Palace before being covered by the Wihan.

Stand in awe of the reclining Buddha, a massive white statue that stretches 42 meters in length and stands 8 meters tall. Despite its age, this statue remains in remarkable condition, its serene face still radiating happiness, supported by a lotus base platform.

Embark on a deluxe river cruise from Wat Chong Lom Pier, making your way back to Bangkok along the Chao Phraya River. As you glide along the "River of Kings," enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch featuring a selection of oriental and western cuisines. Relax and take in the captivating scenery, including sights such as: The Royal Grand Palace: A symbol of Thailand's regal heritage, with its glittering temples and statues, Siriraj Hospital: The oldest and largest hospital in Thailand, known for its significant contributions to medical science. Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun): Admire the magnificent 79-meter spire of this iconic riverside temple.

Arrive at the River City Shopping Complex Pier, where your private van will be waiting to transfer you back to your hotel, concluding a day filled with history, culture, and relaxation.
