Description

Begin your adventure at Wat Mahathat, where the famous Buddha head cradled in banyan roots has become one of Thailand’s most recognized images. Scattered ruins of prangs and chedis across the grounds hint at Ayutthaya’s former role as a spiritual hub. Next, walk the grounds of Wat Phra Si Sanphet, once the royal family’s temple. Its three massive chedis rise dramatically against the sky, making it one of the most impressive and symbolic monuments in the ancient city. Continue to Wat Chaiwatthanaram, a riverside temple built in striking Khmer style. With its towering prang and elegant symmetry, this complex is both a historical treasure and a perfect vantage point for photos overlooking the Chao Phraya River. End your exploration at Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, still active with monks today. The immense central chedi and long rows of robed Buddha statues lend a sense of serenity and continuity between past and present. After exploring Ayutthaya’s highlights, your driver/guide will bring you comfortably back to Bangkok, passing through the countryside that once connected these two historic capitals.
