Itinerary

Your journey back in time begins at 07:00 AM with a private van transfer from your hotel to the impressive Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal. From here, you’ll board a train for a scenic, one-hour journey to Ayutthaya, offering an authentic and comfortable perspective of the Thai countryside. In 2026, this rail experience perfectly bridges the gap between modern efficiency and local charm, providing a peaceful window into everyday life as you pass through lush landscapes and vibrant local communities. Upon arrival, you will explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site by traditional "frog-nose" tuk-tuk, visiting the iconic Wat Mahathat to see the famous Buddha head entwined in tree roots, the towering royal chedis of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, and the majestic 42-meter-long reclining Buddha at Wat Lokayasutharam.

Following a yummy lunch at a local restaurant, you will enjoy a cultural tasting of Roti Sai Mai—Ayutthaya’s signature candy floss crepes. This sweet art form, consisting of silky hand-pulled sugar wrapped in thin flour crepes, has been passed down through generations and is a must-try local delicacy.

Your day concludes at the magnificent Wat Chaiwatthanaram, where the striking Khmer-style architecture sits majestically along the Chao Phraya River, offering one of the most photogenic vistas in Thailand. After a full day of deep immersion, you will enjoy a relaxing return to Bangkok by private van, expecting arrival back at your hotel around 06:00 PM.

Note: Please wear modest clothing (covering shoulders and knees) and comfortable walking shoes for the temple grounds.
