Denne engang fremragende hovedstad, masterminded 80 km fra Ayutthaya, blev knust af den burmesiske udstyrede magt i 1767 og er i øjeblikket et UNESCOs verdensarvsted. Et bredt antal paladser, templer og chedis står endnu. I 1782 forvandlet Ayutthaya sig til Thailands hovedstad. De vigtigste seværdigheder smelter sammen med de enorme bronzestatuer af Vihara Phra Mongkhon Bophit, derudover Wat Phra Sri Sanphet og Wat Yai Chai Mang Khon.
Det er stort bronzebaseret Buddha-billede eller Phra Mongkhon Bophit er et af de største bronze-Buddha-billeder i Thailand med sine mål på 9,5 meter over skødet og en højde på 12,5 meter. Buddha-billedet sidder i stillingen som at nedlægge Mara. I løbet af Ayutthaya andet fald blev bygningen og billedet dårligt ødelagt af ild. Det nuværende Vihara- og Buddha-billede er blevet rekonstrueret og renoveret i regeringen af kong Rama V. Det åbne område, der ligger øst for Vihara, var tidligere Sanam Luang, hvor kongelige kremationsceremonier fandt sted.
Et af de vigtigste templer i Ayutthaya, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon har en lang og strålende historie. Og i modsætning til mange af de andre gamle steder i Ayutthaya, er dette stadig et aktivt tempel, hvor munke bor. Thaiere besøger Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon for ikke kun at respektere Buddha, men også for at hylde en af de mest respekterede konger i den thailandske historie, kong Naresuan den store.
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet ligger på byens ø i Ayutthayas verdensarvspark i Pratu Chai sub-distrikt. Det er blevet registreret som et nationalt historisk sted af Fine Arts Department siden 5. marts 1935. Dette kloster var det vigtigste tempel i Ayutthaya og beliggende på Grand Palace grund. Det fungerede som en model for templet for smaragd Buddha i Bangkok.
Wat Lokaya Sutha, "Jordens tempel" er beliggende nær den nordvestlige spids af den historiske ø nær det gamle kongelige palads og Wat Phra Si Sanphet. Klosterets højdepunkt er det 42 meter lange tilbagelængende Buddha-billede, normalt indpakket i orange klud. Bortset fra den centrale slynge, der er i forholdsvis god stand, er der kun mere end basen i hovedbygningerne i dag.
Wat Mahathat (Temple of the Great Relics) ligger næsten lige i centrum af Ayutthaya. Bortset fra at være det symbolske centrum, hvor Buddhas relikvier blev nedfældet, var Wat Mahathat også opholdssted for den øverste patriark eller leder af de thailandske buddhistiske munke. Templet antages at være bygget i det 14. århundrede A.D. (den tidlige Ayutthaya-periode).
Bang Pa-in Palace er eldgammelt palads tilbage til Ayutthaya æra. Dette palads blev bygget af kong Prasart Thong og derefter blev det genopbygget af kong Mongkut, efter at det var forladt i lang tid. Slottet er opdelt i 2 zone, en er en indre zone, som for kongefamilien at bruge som et hvilested, den anden zone er ydre zone, der er åben for normale mennesker og turister. Efter en behagelig dag ankommer du tilbage til Bangkok kl. 17:00.

Buddha lived his taught values and Thai Kings led their people, in part by building amazing Temples, to practice Buddha’s best ideals.
Your visit to the breathtaking historical area of Ayutthaya sounds like it was a deeply fulfilling experience. With better planning compared to your last rushed visit, you were able to fully appreciate the beauty and significance of this site. The grounds and the structures, so distinct from anything in America, offer a unique glimpse into a rich historical tapestry. Learning about Ayutthaya's past as an old capital of Thailand and exploring its stunning temples and stupas seem to have been particularly rewarding. Your recommendation for anyone in Thailand to make the short trip from Bangkok to visit this remarkable site is a testament to its cultural and historical value.
The main island is roughly 3 x 2 km. While walking is feasible between nearby sites, using a bike, car, or tour is better for broader exploration, especially as some key sites are off the island. The heat can be intense, even for those accustomed to Bangkok's climate. In Ayutthaya, temperatures can feel much hotter than they are. Essentials include a hat, sunglasses, and taking frequent breaks. Mornings, particularly between 8-11am, are quieter at the sites. After this, they get crowded with tour groups. An early start is advisable. The island features a mix of open spaces, sites, and commercial areas, with cafes never far away. Many unticketed minor sites and evening attractions make it worthwhile to stay overnight. Surprisingly, there's almost no information available on-site about the ancient ruins, not even a paper map. It's best to research online or through guidebooks beforehand. Depending on your interest in either ruins or active temples, plan accordingly. My top ruin picks include Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Maha That, and Wat Chaiwatthanaram. The Chantharakasem National Museum, St Joseph's Church, Baan Hollanda, and Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan are also worth visiting. If driving, approaching the island from the west is preferable, possibly stopping at St Joseph's and Wat Chaiwatthanaram. On the return to Bangkok, consider visiting the Bang Sai royal folk arts and crafts center, which offers unique handicrafts not found in Bangkok. Remember, it closes by 4.30 pm.
Very interesting if you love ancient temples! They are scattered throughout the entire city, so you can drive around, take a tuk-tuk, or join a guided tour. They are very beautiful and atmospheric; take the time to walk around each temple and appreciate it. It's a day trip, or you could consider staying overnight and spending an entire weekend here; the modern city is also quite pleasant.
Ayutthaya stands as a testament to the grandeur of Thailand's past, just an hour's journey from Bangkok. As Siam's longest-serving capital, it is dotted with numerous ancient temples, their ruins at every turn hinting at a city that once glimmered with gold. Our guide, during a half-day tour, narrated the history leading up to the city's fall in wartime. Although the 25-carat gold that once clad these temples is gone, the remaining structures still convey the splendor of bygone eras. Ayutthaya remains an essential visit for anyone wishing to delve into the majestic history of Bangkok's surrounds.
My first visit to Ayutthaya exceeded expectations. Mr. Thanarat was not only punctual but also highly knowledgeable about the sites we visited. If you have an interest in exploring historical Thailand, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
Exploring Ayuthaya with Bravo Tours was a day well spent. The guide was informative, and the ancient temples and ruins were awe-inspiring. The only downside was the heat, so be sure to bring water and wear sunscreen
Booked with your company for a tour to Ayutthaya. Our guide Teddy were the best! He went above and beyond to accomodate everything for us. I couldn’t be happier with their service. Would recommend them to anyone
