Wat Yai Chai Mong Khon is very famous throughout the world as it’s recognized as the World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1991 and it’s very important because it’s the location of 1 of the 8 great stupas of the country which is the highest stupa in Ayutthaya Island with the height of 62.10 meters.
Wat Phanan Choeng was built in 1324, about 26 years before the establishment of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It is one of the oldest temples in Ayutthaya and has played an important role in Thai religious history. The temple is well known for its large seated Buddha image called Luang Pho Tho, which is about 19 meters high. The statue is deeply respected by both Thai and Chinese worshippers, and among the Chinese it is called “Sam Pao Kong.” According to a legend, the temple is connected to a Chinese princess named Soi Dok Mak, who died tragically before her wedding to a Siamese king. The temple was later built on the site related to her story.
Wat Mahathat temple was built in the late 14C. This temple is very famous because the great holy relics of Lord Buddha was once enshrined in the central prang tower and it’s the location of the sand stone buddha head embedded in the tree’s root which is the highlight of Ayutthaya province.
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet is world class famous because it is listed as the world heritage sites recognized by the UNESCO in 1991 and it was the most important temple in the golden era of Ayutthaya kingdom as it was the royal chapel of the palace used for the religious functions of Ayutthaya Kings and it is considered as architectural prototype of the Emerald Buddha temple in Bangkok

Exceptional tour with NocNoc travel and tours. The guide, Henry and driver Mr Noom were absolutely fabulous. This was one of the best tours we have ever done. We were picked up at our hotel and as this was a private tour we were explained the visits and what to expect and given the options of places to visit in the old Capitol. Also for lunch. Everything was explained. Lots of fun and laughter and our guide Henry was very knowledgeable on Thai history and culture. There was cold bottled water and towels in the van so we could have some relief from the hot weather. What made this tour so good was that nothing was left unfinished and our expectations were not only met but surpassed. We would book again and again with this top quality tour. Very appreciated.
We really enjoyed our private all day tour with Som! She arrived to our hotel early for our 8:30 pick-up. She also checked in with us the day before to make sure we had appropriate clothing to enter her temples. Her tour of the temples were very informative. Our driver Peter was always there to meet us when we needed to go to a different stop and it was great since it was so hot! I would highly recommend this tour with Som! At the end she gave us a Ayutthaya treat that can only be found here. I would highly recommend this tour!

NocNoc travel and tours were brilliant and we had a fantastic trip from Bangkok to Ayutthaya. Our guide and driver were very kind and took excellent care of us during the day. Every part of the trip was fun and informative. The boat trip is a great way to say the city from the river and we were taken to a lovely restaurant for lunch. Highly recommended if you want to get out of Bangkok for the day.

We only had one day to spare and this was the perfect way to spend it. Tina was super efficient but didn't make us feel like we were on a treadmill. The mix of walking and the boat ride was a perfect balance. My legs may be tired, but my heart is full!

Me and my mates had a bit of a rough night in Bangkok before this, so we were dragging. Annie was so patient and didn't rush us at all. She brought these cold aromatherapy towels that were actual heaven. The ruins are massive and way more impressive in person. Seriously, just get the private tour, it’s worth every cent for the AC alone.

Our trip to Ayutthaya was quite simply brilliant. It was a full day tour with Johnny Be Good and our most excellent driver Mr Ta Tum. We visited 5 ancient temples and had a boat trip on the river. Our happiness throughout the day was Johnnys main priority, looking after us and sharing his vast knowledge of the ancient city and the sites with us. The temples were breathtaking and we learnt so much about Buddhism and the history of Thailand. Johnny knows every photo opportunity there is and we have some amazing memories captured by him. The restaurant for lunch was super, with a meal and drinks for two for less than £18. This tour is worth every penny you spend and allows you time out of Bangkok to learn more about Siam country. We were also kept well hydrated with plenty of water throughout the day. Thank you Johnny and Ta Tum. We will always remember this quote “good thoughts, good words and good deeds” from our day with Johnny Be Good!
