Full description
Witness the glory of the ancient capital of Siam, Ayutthaya, on a private guided tour. Discover the temple and palace ruins of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Lopburi Monkey Temple. Meet your guide your hotel lobby at 9 AM. Depart for Ayuthaya, which is about 1 hour from Bangkok. First, visit Wat Phu Khao Thong, or the Monastery of the Golden Mount, which is located just outside Ayuthaya. Then, proceed to the ancient palace and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Make a stop at Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit, one of the largest bronze Buddhas in Thailand. After lunch at a local restaurant, drive another hour to the province of Lopburi, one of the oldest cities in the country. Discover how this city was historically within the large Khmer empire and was briefly the capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The biggest tourist draw in Lopburi is Phra Prang Sam Yod - also known as the Monkey Temple. See mischievous macaques that live in the temple grounds and surrounding streets, happy to relieve people strolling by of snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and other items. After saying goodbye to the monkeys, return to your hotel in Bangkok.

The tour was excellent. Our guide John was very nice and knowledgeable. The drive was comfortable and while we drove John told us stories and showed us around. The monkey city, Lop buri, is really worth seeing and it was really worth it to learn about the city and the monkeys and knowing how to behave around them. Ayutthaya is so beautiful and special. It is really worth it to take the trip to see it with your own eyes.

It was a great journey near the city of Bangkok. Transport was good, with air conditioning. Driver was local, quite and polite. My guide was prepared and so polite. At the end, because we had a bit time more, he brought me to an unexpected place: the jewellery factory. I strongly advice the entire tour.

Tao and Art were amazing!!! They went above and beyond our expectations! Tao was so informative and helpful. He suggested the best spots for photos and even took the majority of them so we could be in them. Art was a great driver and opened my door for me at every stop. Both Tao and Art were phenomenal and the tour itself was very well thought out. We saw the monkey temple in Lopburi first (it was amazing!) as it was the longest drive and worked our way back. I am vegan, and Tao made sure we stopped at a restaurant with vegan options for lunch. I highly recommend this tour!
