All the details
Ayutthaya day trip for groups: 4 temples including Wat Mahathat's famous Buddha head in tree roots & 37m reclining Buddha. English guide, lunch & air-con transport included.
Ayutthaya, capital of Siam (1350-1767)
Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam for 417 years - at its peak in the 17th century, one of the largest cities in the world (1 million inhabitants), trading with China, Persia, France, the Netherlands. The Burmese army completely razed it in 1767. UNESCO since 1991.
Our 4 temples of the tour
- Wat Prasrisanphet, 3 chedis in a row, royal temple from the 15th century.
- Wat Mahathat, the head of Buddha in the tree (mythical photo).
- Wat Lokayasutharam, the giant reclining Buddha.
- Wat Chai Watthanaram, the most photogenic Angkor-style ruins.
Our advice
- Take a cushion for the road (1h30 in the van, sometimes more on the way back).
- Sunscreen + hat + water, open-air temples, little shade.
- Easy shoes to take off/put back on (bare feet in buildings).
Tip: if you are hesitating between an English-speaking group and a French-speaking private group: for a difference of 5,880 THB (for 2 people), the French-speaking private group gives 2 more temples, flexibility, and saves you the return to MBK. Worth it if you don't speak English.
Before you go
Good to know
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Comfortable shoes, light breathable clothing, water and a small backpack for the day.
