FULL DAY AYUTTHAYA BANG PA-IN BY VAN WITH LUNCH ON RICE BARGE

Begin your day early as your guide picks you up from your hotel by car or van (depending on the group size). Your first stop will be the Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, a stunning royal complex once used by the Kings of Thailand as a summer retreat. This charming pavilion and surrounding gardens were favored by Kings Rama V and Rama VI and offer a glimpse into royal life from the 19th and 20th centuries.

After visiting the Summer Palace, enjoy a luxurious lunch on a rice barge while cruising along the picturesque Chao Phraya River, soaking in the serene landscapes of the riverbanks.

In the afternoon, your guide will take you on a Tuk Tuk Tour through Ayutthaya’s historical park to discover the incredible ruins of ancient temples. Visit Wat Phra Si Sanphet, one of the most iconic and photographed temples in Ayutthaya, and Wat Phra Mahathat, famous for its Buddha head entwined in tree roots. Continue your exploration at Wat Mongkhon Bophit and Wat Ratburana, both showcasing impressive architecture and history.

The day concludes with a visit to Wat Yai Chaimongkhol, home to one of the largest reclining Buddha images, and the ruins of the former Grand Royal Palace and nearby temples.

At the end of this cultural journey, your guide will return you to your hotel, filled with unforgettable memories of Ayutthaya’s rich history and stunning temples.
