Le palais de Bang Pa-In est un ancien palais datant de l'époque d'Ayutthaya. Le palais royal de Bang Pa-In a une histoire qui remonte au 17e siècle. Le palais est divisé en 2 zones : l'une est la zone intérieure que la famille royale utilise comme lieu de repos, l'autre est la zone extérieure qui est ouverte aux personnes ordinaires et aux touristes. L'architecture et le style artistique de ce palais sont vraiment un chef-d'œuvre : il y a des sculptures sur chaque mur, le sol de la chambre principale est en carreaux de céramique Jay avec de la peinture artistique sur chaque carreau, les environs sont également décorés de meubles et de décorations chinoises.
C'est l'un des temples les plus anciens et les plus importants de l'histoire d'Ayutthaya, car il abritait la relique sacrée du Bouddha. Le temple est situé dans la zone du parc historique d'Ayutthaya, où se déroulaient d'importantes cérémonies royales de l'époque d'Ayutthaya.
La ville historique d'Ayutthaya, fondée en 1350. La ville a été attaquée et rasée par l'armée birmane en 1767 qui a incendié la ville et contraint les habitants à l'abandonner. La ville n'a jamais été reconstruite au même endroit et reste aujourd'hui connue comme un vaste site archéologique. Ayutthaya est aujourd’hui une ruine archéologique, caractérisée par les vestiges de hauts prang (tours reliquaires) et de monastères bouddhistes aux proportions monumentales, qui donnent une idée de la taille passée de la ville et de la splendeur de son architecture.
Construit en 1630 par le roi Prasat Thong en l'honneur de sa mère, le Wat Chai Wattanaram a été conçu comme une réplique du temple d'Angkor. Le style architectural est influencé par le temple d'Angkor au Cambodge. Sa particularité est un grand prang central (pagode de style khmer) entouré de prangs plus petits.
Phra Mongkhon Bophit est l'une des plus grandes statues de Bouddha en bronze de Thaïlande avec ses mesures d'environ 9,5 mètres de largeur et une hauteur de 12,5 mètres (sans le piédestal). L'image de Bouddha est assise dans la position de Soumission de Mara. Wat Mongkhon Bophit est un temple « actif » et tout au long de la journée, de nombreuses personnes visitent et vénèrent l'image de Bouddha.
Le temple n'est pas seulement un site historique important, il est aussi considéré depuis longtemps comme le centre spirituel des Thaïlandais. Wat Phra Sri Sanphet est le monastère royal et par conséquent aucun moine n'est autorisé à y résider. Au cœur du temple, il y a trois pagodes ceylanaises (ou en forme de cloche) adjacentes situées sur des plates-formes rectangulaires. On pense que ces plates-formes étaient la base des maisons royales à l'époque d'Ayutthaya.

Our guide (Wat, whose name is something else but said to call him this) was a wealth of information throughout the whole day. He was also very accommodating to what we wanted to do/see. We weren’t interested in stopping for lunch, which he completely understood and it was nice to have the day shortened slightly by that and get back to Bangkok with time to still spend the day around our hotel.
We had an excellent experience with our guide Rawat for a private tour. He came early for our pick up and explained how the day will proceed. Rawat was knowledgeable about surroundings and spoke about it. The tour can be tailored to how long or short you want to see each site. The tour was seamless as I did not want to think about where to go and the logistics. Driver was great too as he drove efficient and took short cut backroads to avoid traffic. If you don’t want to do the tour group bus thing and want to do a tour at your own pace then check this out.
Dear Guest, thank you! We’re so glad Rawat and our driver made your Ayutthaya day seamless and tailored to your pace. We’ll share your kind words with the team. Hope to see you again!
I could not believe my eyes. It's mesmerizing. While you visit Bangkok. The area that needs to be covered is wide and vast, so take the buggy for sure
Thank you! We’re thrilled you loved Ancient City Ayutthaya. Great tip about the buggy — it really helps cover the whole area. Hope to see you again!
Excellent tour from Bangkok to Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and Auytthaya. Our guide Kulsaya and our driver were excellent. Kulsaya contacted us the day before to introduce herself and check we knew the dress code requirements for the Summer Palace as they are stricter than for temples (i.e. no shorts for men). Pick-up from our hotel was punctual and followed by a drive of around 1h30 to the beautiful Summer Palace, which was amazing to visit. After that we visited three different locations at amazing Auytthaya, a true taste of Thailand's history! Kulsaya was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about the history of all the sights and of Thailand - we learned so much! She was also extremely good at finding the perfect spot for photos! It was an incredibly hot day and we were struggling quite a bit with the heat but Kulsaya was professional, thoughtful and fun the whole time, even stopping to get us ice-cold bottles of water to keep us hydrated and cool when we exited from one of the temple sights. Handy hint - all of the Auytthaya sights we visited had free umbrellas available to borrow to keep the sun off so that did help a bit. Also you can't enter with water or iced drinks etc - if you have any you will have to drink or dispose of them before you'll be allowed to enter. The whole day ran perfectly to schedule, apart from the return journey due to the traffic. But our driver handled it well, knew a few short cuts and drove safely at all times. Definitely a great tour to see two of Thailand's most amazing historical sights, highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the detailed review! We're thrilled you had an excellent day exploring Bang Pa-In Summer Palace and Ayutthaya with Kulsaya and our driver. Your kind words about Kulsaya’s knowledge, care with the water, and photo spots mean a lot, and we’ll be sure to pass them on to her and the team. Thanks too for the helpful tips about umbrellas and entry rules. We know Bangkok traffic can be unpredictable, so we’re glad the driver got you back safely. We hope to welcome you on another tour in Thailand soon!
Rawat was an incredibly knowledgable guide and was fantastic throughout the day. We had a few complex logistics (wanting to end our day at the airport) and he was incredibly accommodating, making a travel day incredibly enjoyable!
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're delighted Rawat made your Ayutthaya day so enjoyable and handled your airport logistics smoothly. We’ll share your praise with him right away. Safe travels, and we hope to explore with you again!
Beautiful day with an experienced guide
Wonderful to hear you had a beautiful day in Ayutthaya! We're glad your guide explained everything well and kept it fun. We'll pass your compliments on to her. Thanks for choosing us, and hope to show you more of Thailand soon!
I really enjoyed this tour. If you like history, architecture or just beautiful places you will love it.
Thanks so much for the kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found Ayutthaya beautiful. History and architecture fans are our favorite guests — hope we can show you more of Thailand soon!
Great day trip from Bangkok. Lots to see in Ayutthaya. Our guide, Wat, was very helpful and well informed. He also took great pictures!
Thanks for sharing your great experience! We're thrilled Wat made your Ayutthaya trip informative and fun. Appreciate you highlighting his helpfulness and photography skills!
I reserved this tour for my family and I but I needed to change the date of the tour because of a work situation and when 2 months before the tour original date I tryed to move forward the date of the tour, this people quoted me the tour on the new date with almost 100% increase in the price. Fortunately they let me cancel the reservation without a charge but we are very disapointed
😔 Sorry to hear about the pricing issue when changing the tour date. Thanks for sharing your experience. Due to the current situation(Midle East war) the fuel price increased by the governement,so that we ca not do this tour wih old price. Sorry again for the disappointment .
Brilliant day, great guide and justice right amount of time.
Thanks for sharing your brilliant experience! We're thrilled your guide nailed the day and gave you just the right amount of time. Appreciate your feedback!
