About This Tour
Start your Ayutthaya adventure with a river crossing in a charming cable car to Wat Niwet Thammaprawat, a rare Thai temple built in stunning Gothic Revival style. Featuring stained glass, pointed arches, and European elegance, this peaceful site offers striking photos and stories of King Rama V’s creative vision. Enjoy lunch at Ayutthaya Retreat, a serene spot beside a lotus pond, where you’ll savor Thai home-style dishes in a tranquil garden setting. Afterward, visit Wat Na Phra Meru to admire well-preserved Buddha images, then explore the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum, home to dazzling gold relics from Ayutthaya’s golden age. Your guide will share stories of hidden treasures, royal ceremonies, and dramatic rediscoveries. End your day at Wat Mahathat, where the famous Buddha head rests within tree roots—a truly iconic Thai image. Step into Wat Ratchaburana and learn the secrets of its ancient prang. Wrap up with a sweet roti sai mai treat for the perfect local finish.
