Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ontmoet je gids in River City Bangkok
Rond het middaguur gaat u naar de pier bij de Pasak-rivier en vaart u langs de Pasak-rivier om de Chaophraya-rivier te ontmoeten terwijl u geniet van een internationaal lunchbuffet. Onderweg vaar je langs een koninklijk klooster, een kerk en een moskee. Ooit een belangrijk centrum van wereldwijde diplomatie en handel, is Ayutthaya nu een archeologische vindplaats, gekenmerkt door de overblijfselen van hoge prang (reliekschrijntorens) en boeddhistische kloosters van monumentale proporties, die een idee geven van de vroegere omvang van de stad en de pracht van haar architectuur .
Bezoek dan Wat Mahathat Ayutthaya. Een van de oudste en belangrijkste tempels in de geschiedenis van Ayutthaya, het was ooit het heilige relikwie van de Boeddha. Bewonder het beroemde Boeddhahoofd verstrengeld in de wortels van een Bodhi-boom.
Je volgende stop is Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, dat deel uitmaakt van het koninklijk paleiscomplex, waar royalty's rituelen uitvoerden. Het wordt beschouwd als de belangrijkste tempel van Ayutthaya.
Bezoek Viharn Pra Mongkolborpit, gelegen aan de zuidkant van Wat Prasrisanpetch en hier staat het bronzen Boeddhabeeld in de stijl van het onderwerpen van Mara. Dit Boeddha-beeld heeft een schootmaat van 9,55 meter en een hoogte van 12,45 meter. Dit is een van de grootste Boeddhabeelden in Thailand.
Reis vanuit Bangkok in een comfortabel voertuig met airconditioning naar je eerste stop in Ayutthaya, Wat Lokayasutha. Deze ongelooflijke tempel staat bekend om zijn gigantische liggende Boeddha-beeld, verbazingwekkend een van de weinige structuren die hier intact zijn gebleven.

Informative and Educational and Boy our tour guide was very helpful and full of knowledge
Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear that you found the tour informative and educational. It is fantastic to know that your tour guide, Boy, was so helpful and full of knowledge. He always goes above and beyond to share insights into our culture and history, and your kind words will mean a lot to him. We will happily pass your lovely feedback along to Boy!
Very good tour, complete, with good infrastructure. The guide Mindy always friendly, explaining everything, in addition to very available to clarify doubts. The lunch at the end of the tour was great, with a good variety of meals and in an air-conditioned place.
Great tour ! It was a very relaxed tour .. we chose to get the one way hotel transfer . We were picked up by taxi and transferred to the river city location.. given stickers so we knew which group we’d be in for the day. As we waited for other travellers to join we were able to grab brekky/snacks. Then off we went in an A/C coach .. our group was about 13 which was great cos there was so much room to spread out. We went straight to the ruins and went to 3 locations .. we had plenty of time to explore and our lovely guide gave us facts about each stop. Our guide Paisam (sorry I spelt his name wrong) but he was so knowledgeable and friendly!! Such a great person .. any questions he was happy to answer .. After seeing the temple ruins + Buddha we went on a cruise back towards the city. We had a beautiful lunch / tea and coffee ! Lunch consisted of a mixed buffet of Thai and western food .. staff were friendly. Once we made it to port we were all transferred back to the starting point at River city. Transfer back to your hotel is not included however it’s very easy to catch a tuktuk or grab Would definitely recommend this tour esp. cos of Paisam!! **NOTE - we made a stop at one of the temples and had to use the bathroom. They don’t charge entry but ask for a donation BUT there’s no toilet paper. They charge 10THB for toilet paper so take your own. After we made our donation to go bathroom we found out after the fact, toilet paper is extra . 10THB is like 0.47cent AUD so it’s cheap but we had no small change as we gave the only cash change we had as donation. So I’d recommend to bring your own toilet paper OR make sure u have cash on hand.
Wow, what an amazing day! Uncle Sam was a great guide and we saw some brilliantly interesting temples - so much history in such a short time. Buffet lunch in the middle of a great day and loads of drinks - which was much needed as it was hot!!!
Relaxing and enjoyable. Lots to see and learn. Buffet lunch was great. The cruise down the Choa Phraya River was very relaxing.
Our guide had an encyclopedic knowledge of Bangkok and Thailand, the trip itself was very organised and enjoyable. The buffet was excellent.
Thank you very much.
Our guide Jome was excellent. She knew the history and her English was good. The site is much larger than I expected so the bus took us to 3 different areas. Lunch was on the cruise and was a buffet and excellent. There was afternoon tea also.
Company is not very responsive. River ride was great and food was very good. Guide didn't speak English very clearly and was a bit repetitive. There was lots of talking at the sites and little time to actually explore. Yet, I don'to think the deep history and significance of these sites were covered. Some sites were quite expansive and could have been covered more efficiently by driving.
I booked this tour and received a confirmation of the hotel pickup time. I waited and waited, but they never showed up and never communicated with me. I had to go back and get a refund. I would definitely never book through Big Country Vacations again.
- Hotel transfer is good, very punctual, - Visit to the old palaces/statues/ Temple good & pleasant by bus, Pauses are taken (Toi.), - Tour guide does not speak so well English & likes to listen to speeches, - ... then the change at lunchtime to which has been in the years straight excursion boat: cold lunch buffet !!!!! and tasteless coffee/tea later.... really grottobad and not worth its money ! Too bad... :-( ( conducted on Saturday, 09.02.2019, 06:30 - 16:15, booked via EMIRATES portal, € 48.68/pers. ).
