Activity itinerary

Wat Chaiwatthanaram
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Your first visit is Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of the most impressive and picturesque temples in Ayutthaya. Built in 1630 by King Prasat Thong, its symmetrical Khmer-style towers and riverside setting make it a masterpiece of Thai architecture. Climb the steps to enjoy panoramic views over the Chao Phraya River and imagine how this temple once served as a royal ceremonial ground during Ayutthaya’s golden age.
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the royal temple of Ayutthaya’s ancient palace complex. Its three grand stupas, perfectly aligned against the sky, once enshrined the ashes of kings. The temple stands as a silent witness to the power and artistry of the Ayutthaya kingdom before its fall in 1767.
Wat Mahathat
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Wat Mahathat, one of the most photographed sites in Thailand. Beneath the shade of banyan trees lies the iconic Buddha head entwined in roots — a timeless symbol of peace, faith, and nature’s embrace of history. Your guide shares stories of Ayutthaya’s 14th-century rise, when the city flourished as one of Asia’s greatest trading powers, rivaling Venice and London in its time.
Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam)
  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
Wat Lokayasutharam, home to the enormous reclining Buddha, 42 meters long and 8 meters high. Draped in saffron cloth, the serene expression of the statue radiates peace and enlightenment. Many travelers consider this a spiritual highlight of the journey.
