Une visite d’une journée dans la ville antique d’Ayutthaya, capitale de la Thaïlande depuis 417 ans, est l’une des principales attractions touristiques de la Thaïlande. De nombreuses ruines antiques et œuvres d'art peuvent être vues dans une ville fondée en 1350 par le roi U-Thong lorsque les Thaïlandais ont été forcés vers le sud par les voisins du nord. À l'époque où Ayutthaya était la capitale de la Thaïlande, 33 rois de différentes dynasties ont dirigé le royaume jusqu'à ce qu'il soit destitué par les Birmans en 1767. La région, bien conservée en tant que parc historique, est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis le 13 décembre 1991.

La ville s'est développée autour du port, mais constitue également une étape majeure de la route côtière reliant Pattaya et Bangkok via Sukhumvit Road. La ville est également connue pour accueillir une communauté de retraités japonais avec des magasins spécialisés à leur intention.
Le royaume d'Ayutthaya était un royaume siamois existant de 1350 à 1767. Ayutthaya était amical envers les commerçants étrangers, y compris les Chinois, les Vietnamiens, les Portugais, les Indiens, les Japonais, les Coréens, les Perses et, plus tard, les Espagnols, les Français et les Anglais. pour établir des villages en dehors des murs de la capitale, également appelée Ayutthaya.

Entrée du mercredi au dimanche. Le musée national Chao Sam Phraya, situé sur l'île historique d'Ayutthaya, expose des artefacts découverts lors de fouilles et de restaurations d'anciens temples à Ayutthaya. Le musée porte le nom de Chao Sam Phraya, roi d’Ayutthaya au XVe siècle. Plusieurs milliers d'objets sont exposés, notamment des images de Bouddha, des tablettes votives, des artefacts en or et d'autres trésors récupérés dans les cryptes de plusieurs temples.
Entrée du lundi au mardi Le centre d’études historiques d’Ayutthaya est financé par le gouvernement japonais et se consacre à la recherche sur l’histoire d’Ayutthaya (en mettant l’accent sur son époque en tant que capitale du pays). Le centre abrite un musée et fournit une gamme d'informations ainsi qu'une bibliothèque bien fournie couvrant tous les aspects de l'histoire de la ville. Les expositions sont très impressionnantes et couvrent le développement de la ville et les traditions de la région. C'est une bonne visite, mais gardez à l'esprit que, même si le contenu du centre d'étude est varié, il tourne autour d'un seul thème: Ayutthaya. Si vous avez peu de temps, une visite au Centre d’études n’est peut-être pas une priorité aussi importante que d’autres sites, à moins que vous ne soyez un étudiant passionné de l’histoire thaïlandaise.

Wat Phra Si Sanphet, «le temple du Bouddha Si Sanphet» était le temple le plus important du royaume d'Ayutthaya.

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.
