Private: Magical Ayutthaya Day Trip with a Local

Head out of busy Bangkok and discover the magical area of Ayutthaya, the former capital of Thailand, called Siam back then. Enjoy a private day trip to the stunning Ayutthaya temples including your private boat tour. Secret gems stops included! After meeting your local guide, get comfortable in your private car or minivan for the ride to the ancient capital of Siam or Thailand as we know it now. Stop at the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace, also known as the Summer Palace. Enjoy the walk through the postcard-like surroundings and listen to stories your private host has prepared for you and your group. After a dozen of beautiful photos and a mix of travelers, school kids groups and colonial architecture, head out to the main visit of the day, the Wat Phra Sri Sanpetch or The Royal Temple of Phra Sri Sanpetch Buddha Image. Take in the breathtaking temple complex as your local host shares with you the history behind it. Next stop is the Wat Maha That or the Monastery of the great relic, an impressive temple which also hosts the famous Buddha stone head entwined within the roots of a tree. Wander around and observe the beautiful and well-preserved relics. By now you and your friends already have gotten a feeling of the magical land Ayutthaya is! It’s time for a delicious lunch by the riverside. Relax as you observe the lazy boats going by on the river. What better way to indulge in the after-lunch dip than going on a slow boat ride around the Ayutthaya island? Take a look at the local houses built on pillars just above the water and learn more about the Thai lifestyle from your private guide. Time for another delicious snack! Go off the beaten track and check out how the Roti Saimai is made right in front of your eyes. We’ll tell you this: it’s sweet and it’s absolutely delicious! Head towards the final stop of your awesome Ayutthaya trip the less known Wat Worachet Tharam Temple where you’ll find out more about its unsettled history. Enjoy the walk around the temple site as there are rarely crowds coming this way. Don’t forget: this tour is 100% personalizable for you and your group, just tell your host about your own travel preferences!
