Ancient Wonders of Ayutthaya with Return Scenic River Cruise
Overview
Embark on a full-day adventure as you journey north of Bangkok to the historic city of Ayutthaya, once the capital of a 14th-century Siamese kingdom. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its remarkable archaeological wonders, including magnificent palaces and temples.
Your exploration begins at the impressive royal monastery, where you'll admire the striking white pagoda situated at the heart of the ancient compound. Next, visit Wat Mahathat, famous for the iconic tree with a Buddha head entwined in its roots.

Around 1:00 PM, you'll board a boat for a scenic cruise along the serene Chao Phraya River, enjoying a delightful buffet lunch as you soak in the beautiful riverside views.
