Pick up at 07:00. Explore Thailand's ancient capital and cultural heartland by train, boat, and tuk-tuk with this immersive Ayutthaya day trip. The day begins with a morning train ride, approximately 1.20 hours, from Bangkok to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Ayutthaya, passing through verdant countryside and lush paddy fields. Upon arrival in Ayutthaya, which dates back to the 14th century, the morning is spent exploring the breathtaking temple-studded landscape by a unique Kermit tuk-tuk, visiting the city's highlighted temples.See the majestic Wat Yai Chaimongkol, the impressive Wat Phra Srisanphet, and Wat Mahathat, where the Buddha’s face has naturally emerged from the tree. Learn about the history of Ayutthaya, which was once the largest city in the world. Hear the stories of its glory days and how it was eventually brought down by invading forces from Myanmar.

In between temple visits, get a taste of local life with a stop at a vibrant market. Take an interesting walk through the town’s Muslim Quarter, where you’ll have the opportunity to sample an unusual local delicacy—candy floss roti.

After lunch at a local restaurant, the Ayutthaya day trip continues with a leisurely long-tail boat ride, approximately one hour, on the river around Ayutthaya island. This offers the chance to see more historic sites from a different perspective.
