It’s a full day, lots to see. Our guide was amazing keeping us together and keeping us well informed. The only thing is much too much information to toke in. People should simply read up before as the language barrier doesn’t keep us in the moment of what we are seeing. She speaks well but not enough for long informative and historical facts for all to be kept interested. She works hard needs to give less information.

After meeting in Bangkok in the morning, start the 2-hour drive to Ayutthaya. The ancient city of Ayutthaya was founded around 1350 and became the second capital of Siam after Sukhothai. On this full-day trip, you will explore the ruins of the old city, in the UNESCO-listed Ayutthaya Historical Park. The park is an archaeological site that contains palaces, Buddhist temples, monasteries, and statues. Visit the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, originally built in 1632 by King Prasat Thong.
