Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Feel history come alive as you tour the ruins of Ayutthaya, once the world's largest city with over one million inhabitants. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, magnificent historical sites are scattered around the modern city. Upon arrival, you'll visit the beautiful 200-year-old Bang Pa-In Summer Palace. Used by the royal court in the 17th century, its delightful Thai-style pavilion stands in the middle of an artificial lake and an observatory on a small island commands wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. Then, stop for photos at Yaichaimongkol Temple, built by King U-Thong in 1357 for meditation. Refuel with a buffet lunch before continuing to Mahathat Temple where the Buddha's head is encased in fig tree roots. Last but not least is a visit to the majestic Wat Phra Si Sanpet, the holiest temple on the site of the old Royal Palace.
