First, visit the Royal Grand Palace, the nation’s landmark and one of the most highly praised royal monuments in Thailand. Within the palace complex, you will also visit the dazzling Wat Phra Kaew, home to the revered Emerald Buddha, along with the Golden Chedi, the Pantheon of the Chakri Kings, and the Eight Colored Towers. This magnificent complex is a must-see in Thailand and is regarded by many as a living example of the classical Siamese royal court, once serving as the residence of the Kings of Thailand.

Continue to Wat Pho, also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is regarded as Thailand’s first center of public education and is sometimes called “Thailand’s first university.” Its mural paintings, inscriptions, and statues were created to educate people on various subjects, including literature, warfare, archaeology, astronomy, geology, meditation, and traditional medicine. The temple is also considered the birthplace of traditional Thai massage.

After lunch, enjoy an afternoon trip along the bustling Chao Phraya River and the quiet klongs by long-tail boat or big boat. Along the way, admire scenes of local life by the water. This journey takes you to a more traditional and peaceful side of Bangkok, away from the high-rise buildings and modern city center, as you gently pass through the residential areas of Thonburi.

DAY 3| BANGKOK AYUTTHAYA TOUR: BANGKOK – AYUTTHAYA – FULL DAY AYUTTHAYA EXCURSION – BANGKOK (B)

In the morning, after breakfast, meet your driver and guide, then drive to the former capital of Thailand to visit Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and the ruins of the Ancient City of Ayutthaya.

This full-day tour takes you to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Thailand, located approximately 75 kilometres north of Bangkok and considered one of the country’s must-see historical destinations. The city’s rich cultural exchange began in the mid-16th century, when ships from Ayutthaya sailed across Asian seas, trading with neighbouring countries. When the Dutch arrived in the 17th century, Ayutthaya developed into an important port city, with trade routes extending to China, Japan, Indonesia, Portugal, Holland, France, and later even Scandinavian countries.

Although the ancient foreign trading villages along the Chao Phraya River were abandoned after the city was sacked by Burmese troops in 1767, some remnants still remain, reflecting Ayutthaya’s past glory.

The tour begins with a visit to the Summer Palace of the late King Rama V, commonly known as Bang Pa-In, a beautiful royal complex with elegant architecture and peaceful gardens. You will then continue to the magnificent ruins that have made Ayutthaya famous around the world. During the tour, we will pass by or visit the most impressive ruins of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, with plenty of time for photos.
