Tour Details
Private Ayuttaya Day Trip
Take a magical journey through time as you travel from the bustling modernity of Bangkok to the ancient splendor of Ayutthaya, where Thailand's regal history meets serene landscapes.
Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup, with comfortable travel to the historic city of Ayutthaya, the former capital of the Kingdom of Thailand. Here, you'll visit the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, an exquisite collection of royal buildings set amidst vast, beautifully landscaped gardens. Originally constructed in the 17th century, the palace was abandoned after the Burmese invasion and was later splendidly restored.
Continue your tour in a local tuk-tuk, affectionately known as "Kermit," which adds a fun, authentic twist to your exploration. Explore Ayutthaya Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site dotted with the remnants of ancient temples and palaces. While here, stand in awe of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, one of Ayutthaya’s most photographed sites, and explore Wat Phra Mahathat, where the famous Buddha with the head entwined in tree roots resides. Don't miss the imposing Wat Yai Chaimongkhol, home to one of the largest reclining Buddha images.
The flexibility of our tour allows you to tailor the day to your interests, whether that means extra time marveling at the historic sites, indulging in local Thai cuisine, or enjoying a spot of shopping. Our knowledgeable guide will be on hand to ensure you get the most out of your visit, offering insights and managing the itinerary to best suit the group's pace.
As the day winds down, you’ll be comfortably transferred back to Laem Chabang port. This tour not only promises a day filled with discovery and enchantment but also the convenience of timely returns before your ship’s departure. Join us for a day where history comes to life and leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
