The 715-acre area has been listed the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991 as it portrays the heydays of one of the largest kingdoms in IndoChina history.

Activities and Experiences:
• Bang Pa-In Royal Palace: This palace complex is set on a lovely landscaped lake garden that was once an island itself. Abandoned after Ayutthaya fell, it was rebuilt by King Rama V (1868-1910) who commissioned additional buildings in an eclectic style that blends European neoclassical and Victorian architectures with Early Ayutthaya and Chinese palace styles.
• Lunch on Rice Barge Cruising: Board our converted traditional teak rice barge and drift slowly along the majestic Chao Phraya River and explore Ayutthaya from the eye of river, enjoying en route a beautiful selection of Thai food.
• Ayutthaya Historical Park: Rest of the day, we will explore Ayutthaya Historical Park such as Wat Yai Chai Mongkol and Wat Mahathat, one of the popular icons of Ayutthaya, located alongside a wall of 'Viharn Lek' (small chapel). The site of the lone Buddha's head entrapped by the roots of an overgrown banyan tree has become a famous - and not to miss - tourist attraction. Responsible Tour:
