Hoteller i nærheden af Ayutthaya Shore Excursion
Beskrivelse
En heldags tur til den gamle by Ayutthaya, den thailandske hovedstad i 417 år, er en af Thailands største turistattraktioner. Mange gamle ruiner og kunstværker kan ses i en by, der blev grundlagt i 1350 af kong U-Thong, da thailændene blev tvunget sydpå af nordlige naboer. I den periode, hvor Ayutthaya var den thailandske hovedstad, regerede 33 konger af forskellige dynastier kongeriget, indtil det blev fyret af burmeserne i 1767. Området, der er godt bevaret som en historisk park, er blevet inkluderet på UNESCOs liste over verdensarv siden 13. december 1991.

Laem Chabang er en havneby i Chonburi-provinsen, Thailand. Det inkluderer tambon Bang Lamung fra Bang Lamung District, tamboner Bueng, Surasak, Thung Sukhla og dele af Nong Kham i Si Racha District. Fra 2006 havde det en befolkning på 61.801. Byen er vokset op omkring havnen, men fungerer også som et vigtigt stop på den kystnære motorvej, der forbinder Pattaya og Bangkok via Sukhumvit Road. Byen er også kendt for at være vært for et japansk pensioneringssamfund med specialforretninger rettet mod dem.
Ayutthaya-kongeriget var et siamesisk rige, der eksisterede fra 1350 til 1767. Ayutthaya var venligt over for udenlandske handlende, herunder kineserne, vietnameserne, portugiserne, indianerne, japanerne, koreanere, persere og senere spaniere, hollændere, engelske og franske, hvilket tillader dem at oprette landsbyer uden for hovedstadens mure, også kaldet Ayutthaya.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon eller Det store kloster for lykkelig sejr ligger ved byens ø i det sydøstlige område af Ayutthaya i det nuværende Phai Ling-underdistrikt. Tidligere bærer det andre navne som Wat Pa Kaeo, Wat Chao Phraya Thai og Wat Yai Chaiya Mongkhon.
Adgang onsdag til søndag. Chao Sam Phraya National Museum på den historiske ø Ayutthaya udstiller artefakter, der blev opdaget under udgravningsarbejder og restaureringer af antikke templer i Ayutthaya. Museet er opkaldt efter Chao Sam Phraya, konge af Ayutthaya i det 15. århundrede. Udstillet er adskillige tusinde genstande inklusive Buddha-billeder, votivtabletter, guldartifakter og andre skatte, der er indvundet fra krypter i flere templer.
Optagelse fra mandag til tirsdag Ayutthaya Historical Study Center er finansieret af den japanske regering og dedikeret til forskning i Ayutthayas historie (med fokus på dens æra som nationens hovedstad). Centret huser et museum og giver en række oplysninger sammen med et velassorteret bibliotek, der dækker alle aspekter af byens historie. Skærme er meget imponerende og dækker byens udvikling og områdets traditioner. Dette er et godt besøg, men husk, at selvom indholdet af studiecentret er varieret, drejer det sig om et enkelt tema - Ayutthaya. Hvis du har begrænset tid, er et besøg i Studiecenteret måske ikke så højt prioriteret som andre steder, medmindre du er en ivrig studerende i thailandske historie.
Phra Mongkhon Bophit eller Buddha of the Holy and Supremely Lykkelig Ærlighed blev skulptureret i 1538 i regeringsperioden for King Chairacha (r. 1534-1547) ved Wat Chi Chiang Sai. 1538 accepteres generelt som det år, hvor billedet blev bygget, baseret på Luang Prasoet-versionen af Royal Chronicles of Ayutthaya (Det meste af det andet versioner satte konstruktionen i 880 af Chulasakkarat-æraen eller på en eller anden måde 20 år tidligere)
Wat Phra Si Sanphet, ”Buddha Si Sanphet's tempel” var det vigtigste tempel i Ayutthaya Kingdom. Som en del af det kongelige paladskompleks blev det meget store kloster med snesevis af strukturer kun brugt af Ayutthaya Kings; det var et kongeligt tempel uden bosiddende munke.
Et af Ayutthayas mest imponerende templer, Khmer-stilen Wat Chaiwatthanaram, er et kongeligt tempel, der blev brugt af kongen og andre medlemmer af den kongelige familie. Klosteret ligger overfor det sydvestlige hjørne af den historiske ø på den anden side af floden Chao Phraya. En bådtur rundt på den historiske ø sørger for meget flot udsigt over dette store, velbevarede tempel.

The ancient capital of Ayutthaya is well worth a visit. Totally different to Bangkok with a charm all of its own. We were very glad that we had booked this tour. Our guide Giftsy was very knowledgeable and helpful. She took us to some wonderful sites.Our driver Danny was very professional and the car was extremely comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, thank-you.
This is full of history which I love! If you are not a history buff there are other tours that do more of an overview. There is lots of walking and climbing. Really great to see!
Great insight to the ancient civilisation, the royal family and the hierarchy of this Thai dynasty. The size of the site is quite large , Unfortunately many parts are ruins, however it gives an idea of how large it was for the original capital before being moved to where Bangkok is now
The trip was absolutely wonderful. Although it's a long way our wonderful driver made it there in record time safe and sound and in fact made it back as well because we were all coming off a cruise line ship which is typically 2 to 3 hours away. The ruins were amazing and my husband said he even liked them better then the ruins in bangkok. Monica was an excellent tour guide who gave us a lot of history and imparted tremendous knowledge on what all of the different symbols and shapes meant. It was an excellent trip and worth taking.
Best TOUR EVER. THE COMPANY IS ABSOLUTELY PROFESIONAL. I have nothing negative at all to say about it. I felt safe all the time being a woman traveling alone. Don't hesitate, just do it!
Amazing tour everything is absolutely stunning. Great food, great driver (Dani). Amazing guide (Giftsy) felt I was traveling with a close friend. Respectful, safe... one of the beat tours of my life.
Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand apparently, but it is still a vibrant little city today. The ancient temples and the modern city are mixed together. We picked about 5 temples we most wanted to see --- Wat Mahathat, Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, Wat Phra Ram, and Wat Chai Watthanaram. Seeing these gave us the Buddah head embedded in the trunk of a growing tree and the giant reclining buddah--plus lots of other beautiful things. It is free to go to Ayutthaya---a couple of the temples had a tiny entry fee, but for the most part you just wander around as you want to. Ayutthaya is about a one hour drive from Bangkok, but it is absolutely worth the time to get there! If we had not gone I would still be kicking myself. We could have hired a grab for the day, but this time we decided to ask our hotel to get us a driver. He spoke good English and showed us a few extra temples he really likes---I think paying him was a good call. So for us, Ayutthaya came in thethird and final week of our trip. We spent the previous week in Cambodia exploring many breathtaking temples. The big difference with Ayutthaya's temples is that they were much closer together, and because town is basically laid down all around them, you didn't have the long walk to reach them as you often had in Cambodia. After three weeks of climbing, walking, etc. I was perfectly happy to be able to step out of the car and walk 30 feet to a temple. The temples are absolutely beautiful! Really spectacular. I'm so glad we got to see them!
We embarked on the Ayutthaya tour with Mr. Ohm, and it was truly fantastic. A captivating journey that not only entertained us but also deepened our understanding of Thailand's rich history. Both our guide and driver were exceptionally friendly, making the trip incredibly comfortable and engaging. We explored various sites in Ayutthaya, caught glimpses of rice fields (keeping in mind that visibility is limited during the dry season), and enjoyed a delightful lunch at a local restaurant. The comfortable air-conditioned car was a welcome relief on hot days, and the provision of cold wet wipes added a thoughtful touch for cooling down. We felt exceptionally well taken care of throughout the tour. A heartfelt thank you for enriching our experience with the incredible culture of Thailand.
I was promptly picked up from my cruise ship by Raht, whose excellent English made communication seamless for non-Thai speakers. Embarked on a full-day excursion to Historical Ayutthaya, and it truly lived up to expectations. The temple ruins are awe-inspiring; if you find yourself in Bangkok, allocate a day for this experience (approximately an hour away). Enjoyed a delightful lunch, though be cautious – the Thai concept of mild spice is a touch spicier than the American counterpart :). Returned to the ship after a fulfilling day.
This excursion stands out as one of the most enjoyable I've experienced – impeccably organized, with an outstanding guide and a wealth of beautiful scenery and historical sites. The visit to the Ayutthaya temples proved to be the highlight of my stay in Bangkok. A full-day tour to Ayutthaya commenced with an early morning hotel pickup and concluded with a late afternoon drop-off. We explored the ancient capital of Siam, enjoying breathtaking views of temples, ruins, and Buddha monuments lining the Chao Phraya River. Notable moments included a visit to the reclining Buddha statue at Wat Chai Mongkol and another Buddha whose head was entwined in tree roots. The summer palace of King Rama IV, reached through picturesque gardens along a river, showcased an intriguing blend of Thai, Chinese, Gothic, and even Greek influences. The palace, doubling as a small museum, offered a fascinating glimpse into history. Lunch was a delightful buffet served on a ship during a river cruise along the Chao Phraya River, featuring a variety of soups, a DIY salad bar, and delectable desserts. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion to anyone seeking a blend of cultural richness, historical exploration, and scenic beauty in the heart of Thailand.
