Reisroute
De historische stad Ayutthaya herbergt Wat Phra Si Sanphet, de grootste tempelruïne in Ayutthaya die is uitgeroepen tot UNESCO-erfgoed. Deze tempel is een must voor alle Ayutthaya-reizigers, aangezien deze tempel de persoonlijke tempel was van Thaise koningen in de Ayutthaya-periode. Het hoogtepunt van deze tempel zijn de drie grote stoepa's die in het midden van de tempel staan. De stoepa's werden gebouwd voor het bevatten van relikwieën van alle koningen van Ayutthaya. De tempel is zeer waardevol voor mensen die de Thaise geschiedenis willen bestuderen. Ter informatie: Wat Phra Si Sanphet bevond zich in het Grand Palace van Ayutthaya en diende als de koninklijke kapel, zoals Wat Phra Kaeo doet in Bangkok. In de hoogtijdagen van Ayutthaya was dit de grootste tempel van de stad. Toen koning Borom Trai Lokanat het bevel gaf over de bouw van nieuwe woonruimten, werd dit woonpaleis omgevormd tot een tempel en de oprichting van Wat Phra Si Sanphet.
Viharn Pra Mongkolborpit herbergt een van de grootste bronzen Boeddhabeelden in Thailand. Veel Thaise boeddhisten bezoeken deze tempel om de schoonheid van het enorme gouden Boeddhabeeld te koesteren. Het Boeddhabeeld is in de houding van het onderwerpen van Mara. Dit Boeddhabeeld heeft een schootmaat van 9,55 meter en een hoogte van 12,45 meter. Je moet omhoog kijken naar het plafond om de enorme omvang van dit Boeddhabeeld te bewonderen.
Wat Mahathat is een UNESCO-werelderfgoed. Deze tempel is bekend bij reizigers over de hele wereld vanwege het hoofd van de Heer Boeddha ingebed in de Bodhi-boom. Historisch gezien was Wat Mahathat een koninklijke tempel van het Ayutthaya-koninkrijk. Het is een van de oudste en belangrijkste tempels in de geschiedenis van Ayutthaya omdat het de heilige relikwie van de Boeddha huisvestte. Attracties in Wat Mahathat zijn onder meer overblijfselen van oude gebouwen zoals pagodes, achthoekige pagodes, een koninklijke zaal, kleine tempels, muurschilderingen onder een Bodhi-boom en het beroemde zandstenen Ayutthaya-achtige hoofd van het Boeddhabeeld in de wortel van een boom.
Wat Phra Ngam is een andere must-go oude tempel in Ayutthaya. De schoonheid van deze heilige plaats kan worden gezien door de prachtige architectuur van de gestructureerde achthoekige pagode en het "Tijdportaal", de gewelfde ingang gemaakt van bakstenen die worden geknuffeld door de gigantische Bodhi-boom. Het exotische uiterlijk van deze opmerkelijke boog wordt de plek om foto's te maken voor trendy buitenlandse toeristen.
Wat Na Phra Meru is de enige tempel in Ayutthaya die niet door de Birmezen is verwoest en toont de meest complete visie op de architectuur van Ayutthaya. Je ziet hier de oorspronkelijke schoonheid van de 500 jaar oude Ayutthaya-tempel. Bovendien herbergt de tempel het groene stenen Boeddha-beeld dat dateert uit de Dvaravati-periode. Dit stenen Boeddhabeeld staat in een zittende positie, wat slechts een van de vijf is die er in Thailand zijn. Na een bezoek aan deze tempel, zul je een authentiek diner met Thaise smaak hebben, aanbevolen door onze gids.
Wat Chaiwattanaram is een van de meest bezochte historische bezienswaardigheden van Ayutthaya. De tempel werd in 1630 gebouwd door koning Prasat Thong ter ere van zijn moeder, met de bouwstijl beïnvloed door de Angkor-tempel in Cambodja - het unieke kenmerk is een grote, centrale prang (pagode in Khmer-stijl), omringd door kleinere prangs, symboliseert de berg Sumeru, de berg van de goden volgens het hindoeïstische geloof. De verlichting 's nachts maakt de tempel nog exotischer en mooier. Als bonus bij je tour nemen onze gidsen je mee op een boottocht bij zonsondergang, waar je de romantische zonsondergang op de oever van de Chao Phraya-rivier zult zien, voordat je teruggaat naar je comfortabele hotel.

This afternoon tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Thailand. The historical sites of Ayutthaya are absolutely breathtaking, and each location has its own unique story and atmosphere. The famous Wat Mahathat with the Buddha head entwined in tree roots was incredible to see in person. Wat Lokayasutharam and its impressive Reclining Buddha were equally memorable, while Wat Na Phra Meru offered a fascinating glimpse into Ayutthaya’s rich past. The Portal of Time Temple was another beautiful and unique stop that made the experience even more special. A special thank you to our guide Lin, who made the entire tour unforgettable. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and always happy to answer questions. Her explanations brought the history of these ancient temples to life, and her warm personality and positive energy made the day even more enjoyable.

We had a truly unforgettable day in Ayutthaya and so much of that was thanks to our guide and driver, who were exceptional from start to finish. More than just taking us from place to place, he guided us through stories. Every temple, every ruin, every detail came to life through his deep knowledge, always shared in a light, engaging, and fascinating way. It felt like traveling back in time, understanding not only what we were seeing, but the meaning behind it all. On top of that, his care throughout the day made all the difference. He was always attentive to our pace, our needs, and even the smallest details, cold water, well, timed breaks, spot-on suggestions all delivered with patience and genuine kindness that made the experience even more special. The combination of knowledge, attention, and a true desire to create the best possible experience turned a simple tour into something memorable. More than a guide, we had a true host who elevated our visit to another level. Without a doubt, an experience we will carry with us forever. Thanks for: @Adam Bravo @🐒Guide Lin🐵

A magnificent discovery of Ayutthaya thanks to Kwin, a professional and passionate guide. The visit was made on foot between the different temples, in a very pleasant rhythm. We also had lunch in a very typical restaurant, excellent. Our driver was always present and attentive, with water at every stop. The tour ended beautifully with a boat trip, offering a superb view of the temples at sunset ☀️
Chère Maryse V, Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé cette magnifique expérience ! Nous sommes heureux que Kwin vous ait transmis sa passion pour l'histoire et que notre chauffeur ait veillé à votre confort tout au long de la journée. C'est un plaisir de lire que le déjeuner typique et la vue au coucher du soleil ont contribué à rendre votre visite inoubliable. Cordialement, Thailand Insight Travel et la guide Kwin --- Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience! We are happy that Kwin shared her passion for history with you and that our driver ensured your comfort throughout the day. It is a pleasure to hear that the local lunch and the sunset view helped make your visit unforgettable.
As far as the tour is concerned it was good. We paid for a private tour, but it was disappointing that the company wanted to penny pinch on the lunch. The positives: - Good tour guide - Flexible, but then again, it was a private tour. the negatives: - the vehicle provided was an old SUV which compared to other private tours felt a bit cramped. - the tour comes with a "complimentary" lunch which is at a restaurant of their choice. The budget that they had allocated per person ( 200 baht) covers only the cheapest meal ( 180 baht) and a water. Initially we weren't even given the choice to order what we wanted. Later when we said that we don't want the meal that they ordered, they agreed to allow us to choose with the condition that we pay for anything extra. Considering we had paid close to £240 ( almost 10,000 baht) for the tour, penny pinching for a few hundred baht just spoiled our experience.
Dear Sarath_P, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the quality of your tour guide and the flexibility that comes with our private tour service. Regarding the vehicle, we have taken note of your comments. We aim to ensure our fleet meets standard comfort levels. We will ensure to select vehicles that better match the comfort standards expected for a private tour in the future. Regarding lunch, our complimentary meal is planned to include a standard local dish and a drink. While this allowance typically covers a complete and satisfying meal at local prices, we understand that the set options may feel limited for some guests. Our intention is not to restrict your choices, but to provide a simple selection that aligns well with local cuisine and ensures a smooth dining experience. Your feedback means a great deal to us. We will coordinate with the restaurant to confirm the updated food prices, and if the current budget proves insufficient, we will request approval for an adjustment. This will help us maintain a smooth and pleasant experience for all future guests. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Thailand Insight Travel
Boombiim was so amazing she guided us through the temples and the history behind the stories and traditions of Bangkok. She helped us navigate Bangkok and arranged another tour that catered to all the things and places we wanted to explore. Her attention to our needs was outstanding. This tour is a must and if you want an experience that you will not regret book this tour and ask for Boombiim. We also need to shout out to the driver he was also outstanding. It was 33 degrees and he was ready with water and cold cloth when we got back to the car.
Dear Kim R, Thank you for your lovely words! We’re so glad you had a great time exploring with Boombiim and appreciated her care and knowledge. It’s wonderful that the driver helped make your day comfortable too. We truly value your warm recommendation and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again soon! Warm regards, Thailand Insight Travel and guide Boombiim
