Overview

Step back in time on a private full-day ride from Bangkok to Ayutthaya, Thailand’s UNESCO-listed former capital. Begin at Wat Mahathat, home to the iconic Buddha head entwined in banyan roots. Continue to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, once the royal family’s temple, where three grand chedis dominate the skyline. Explore riverside Wat Chaiwatthanaram, with its Khmer-style prang and sweeping views over the Chao Phraya River. End at Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, an active monastery with a towering chedi and rows of Buddha statues that blend past and present. With pickup, drop-off, and flexible timing, this customizable journey offers a seamless blend of history, spirituality, and striking architecture before returning through the scenic countryside to Bangkok.

Activity itinerary

Wat Mahathat Yuwaratrangsarit
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Famous for the iconic Buddha head entwined in tree roots, this 14th-century monastery once stood at the spiritual center of Ayutthaya. The ruined prangs and crumbling chedis scattered across the site give a vivid impression of the city’s former grandeur, even in decay.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Once part of the royal palace complex, this temple was used exclusively by kings and royal family members. Its three grand chedis, lined in a row, have become a symbol of Ayutthaya and stand as one of the city’s most photogenic historic sites.
Wat Chaiwatthanaram
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Built in Khmer style along the Chao Phraya River, this temple complex features a towering central prang surrounded by smaller spires. Its riverside setting and symmetry make it one of Ayutthaya’s most atmospheric ruins, especially popular for photos at sunset.
วัดใหญ่ชัยมงคลวรวิหาร
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket not included
Known for its massive chedi that dominates the skyline, this temple remains an active monastery today. Rows of seated Buddha statues in saffron robes line the terraces, creating a serene contrast to the more ruined temples elsewhere in the city.
