WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Wat Mahathat, “the temple of the Great Relic” was one of the most important temples in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Located on the historical island the large monastery features a huge central prang, a very large principal viharn and ubosot and a great number of subsidiary chedis and viharns. The upper part of its once massive central prang has collapsed. Today only the base remains.
2.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet, also known as the "Temple of the Holy, Splendid Omniscient" was the holiest temple in Ayutthaya during the Ayutthaya period and until the city was destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. It was the grandest and most beautiful temple in the capital and it served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.
3.
Housing a large bronze seated Buddha image of 12.45 meters high (Phra Mongkhon Bophit), it was originally enshrined outside the Grand Palace to the east. It could be dated to the 15th and has a long history prior to being enshrined and to being covered nowadays with a Mondop. To know more, please ask our guide who will be delighted to provide you with further explanations.
4.
Wat Lokayasutharam is situated at Pratoochai District, behind the Ancient Palace and the Pratoochai Primary School, in the area 0f Wat Worapoh (Wat Rakhang) and Wat Worachettharam. Wat Lokayasutharam is 800 meters from Wat Phra Mongkon Bophit. Wat Worachettharam and Wat Worapoh are also closeby. Nevertheless, we had quite some difficulty finding Wat Lokayasutharam, likely our otherwise good Ayutthaya map, was a bit off the mark.
5.
Cruise and Lunch on the Chao Phraya River by Cruise Boat
6.
Pass by boat
7.
Pass by Boat
8.
A new shopping complex located on the banks of Chao Phraya River.

I was picked up at my hotel, drove over an hour in an air-conditioned bus to see 3 temples, have a delicious buffet lunch, a river cruise - all with a kowledgable and entertaining tour guide- then we were dropped off at our hotel. All day for under $100! What a great day!

I was completely knocked out by the scale of the stupas and ruins. Bigger and more spectacular than I imagined.
A great historical experience.
And a relaxing cruise back down the river with a nice lunch.

Donna is a native resident of Ayatthuya and her knowledge was amazing. She made it fun to learn and see the sites. The river cruise and banquet was a pleasant surprise and we found the food tasty and service was super.
