En heldagstur till den antika staden Ayutthaya, den thailändska huvudstaden i 417 år, är en av Thailands största turistattraktioner. Många gamla ruiner och konstverk kan ses i en stad som grundades 1350 av kung U-Thong när thailändarna tvingades söderut av nordliga grannar. Under perioden då Ayutthaya var den thailändska huvudstaden, regerade 33 kungar av olika dynastier kungariket tills det plundrades av burmeserna 1767. Området, väl bevarat som en historisk park, har inkluderats i UNESCOs världsarvslista sedan 13 december 1991.
Laem Chabang är en hamnstad i Chonburi-provinsen, Thailand. Det inkluderar tambon Bang Lamung från Bang Lamung District, tambonerna Bueng, Surasak, Thung Sukhla och delar av Nong Kham i Si Racha District. Från 2006 hade den en befolkning på 61 801. Staden har vuxit upp runt hamnen, men fungerar också som ett stort stopp på kustvägen som förbinder Pattaya och Bangkok via Sukhumvit Road. Staden är också känd för att ha värd ett japanskt pensioneringssamhälle med specialbutiker inriktade på dem.
Ayutthaya Kingdom var ett siamesiskt rike som fanns från 1350 till 1767. Ayutthaya var vänligt mot utländska handlare, inklusive kineser, vietnamesiska, portugisiska, indier, japaner, koreaner, perser och senare spanjorer, holländare, engelska och franska, vilket tillät dem att sätta upp byar utanför huvudstadens murar, även kallad Ayutthaya.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon eller Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory ligger utanför stadsön i det sydöstra området i Ayutthaya i nuvarande Phai Ling-distrikt. Tidigare har det andra namn som Wat Pa Kaeo, Wat Chao Phraya Thai och Wat Yai Chaiya Mongkhon.
Inträde på onsdag till söndag. Chao Sam Phraya National Museum på den historiska ön Ayutthaya visar artefakter som upptäcktes under utgrävningar och restaureringar av gamla tempel i Ayutthaya. Museet är uppkallad efter Chao Sam Phraya, kung av Ayutthaya på 15-talet. Utställs är flera tusen artiklar inklusive Buddha-bilder, votiva tabletter, guldföremål och andra skatter som återhämtats från krypten i flera tempel.
Tillträde från måndag till tisdag Ayutthaya Historical Study Center finansieras av den japanska regeringen och ägnas åt forskning om Ayutthayas historia (med fokus på dess era som landets huvudstad). Centret har ett museum och erbjuder en rad information tillsammans med ett välfylldt bibliotek som täcker alla aspekter av stadens historia. Skärmarna är mycket imponerande och täcker utvecklingen av staden och traditionerna i området. Detta är ett bra besök, men kom ihåg att även om innehållet i studiecentret är varierat, kretsar det kring ett enda tema - Ayutthaya. Om du har begränsad tid kan ett besök i Study Center inte vara lika högt prioriterat som andra webbplatser om du inte är en ivrig student i thailändsk historia.
Phra Mongkhon Bophit eller Buddha of the Holy and Supremely Auspicious Ærahet skulpturerades 1538 under kung Stolachas regeringstid (r. 1534-1547) vid Wat Chi Chiang Sai. 1538 accepteras allmänt som året då bilden byggdes, baserad på Luang Prasoet-versionen av de kungliga kronorna i Ayutthaya (de flesta av de andra versioner satte sin konstruktion på 880 av Chulasakkarat-eran eller på något sätt 20 år tidigare)
Wat Phra Si Sanphet, ”Buddha Si Sanphets tempel” var det viktigaste templet i Ayutthaya Kingdom. Som en del av Royal Palace-komplexet användes det mycket stora klostret med dussintals strukturer endast av Ayutthaya Kings; det var ett kungligt tempel utan bosatta munkar.
Ett av Ayutthayas mest imponerande tempel, Khmer-stilen Wat Chaiwatthanaram är ett kungligt tempel som användes av kungen och andra medlemmar av den kungliga familjen. Klostret ligger mittemot sydöstra hörnet av den historiska ön på andra sidan floden Chao Phraya. En båttur runt den historiska ön ger mycket fin utsikt över detta stora, välbevarade 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.
