"Explore the Historic Heart of Ayutthaya"
One Day Trip – A Relaxed Journey Through Ancient Wonders

Begin your day with a scenic train ride from Bangkok to Ayutthaya Railway Station. Upon arrival, rent a bicycle or hop on a local tuk-tuk to explore the charming old city at your own pace. This route takes you through the heart of Ayutthaya Island, home to some of the most significant temples and historical landmarks in Thailand.

Start your journey at Wat Mahathat, one of Ayutthaya’s most iconic sites. Don’t miss the famous Buddha head entwined in the roots of a Bodhi tree, a symbol recognized around the world. Once a spiritual center of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, the temple is now a serene site filled with ancient ruins that tell stories of a glorious past.

Just a short walk away lies Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the former royal temple located within the grounds of the old Grand Palace. The site is renowned for its three majestic chedis, which stand as a symbol of Ayutthaya's golden age and served as a model for the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok.

Next, make your way to Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon, one of Ayutthaya’s most visited temples. Admire the towering golden chedi that dominates the skyline and climb its steps for a panoramic view of the area. This temple marks a significant victory in Thai history and offers excellent photo opportunities for visitors.

Nearby, pay a visit to Wat Phanan Choeng, an ancient temple housing Luang Pho To, a large seated Buddha image highly revered by locals. This temple predates the founding of Ayutthaya and holds deep historical and spiritual significance.

Wrap up your day at the charming Ayothaya Floating Market, where traditional Thai culture comes to life. Browse for souvenirs, sample authentic local dishes like boat noodles and Thai desserts, and enjoy cultural performances in a nostalgic riverside setting.
