Ayutthaya temple day trip in pictures
6 photos
Overview
An hour or so north of Bangkok lie the ruins of Ayutthaya β the former royal capital of Siam, a city that from the 14th to 18th centuries was one of the largest and richest in the world before it was destroyed, and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site of temple ruins, brick prangs and headless Buddhas. This full guided day trip takes you through the highlights with the history that makes them legible.
You'll visit the great temples of the old capital: Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the royal temple with its three restored chedis; Viharn Phra Mongkol Bopit, housing one of Thailand's largest bronze Buddhas; the towering Wat Phu Khao Thong ('Golden Mount') just outside town; and Wat Lokaya Sutha with its enormous reclining Buddha. A guide brings the fallen city back to life across a full, well-paced day from Bangkok.
