Step back into the days when Thailand was Siam as you take in the unforgettable beauty of Ayutthaya -- a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ayutthaya was the ancient capital of Thailand from 1350 to 1767. It is a lovely three-hour scenic drive from Laem Chabang by motorcoach to the exquisite Bang Pa In Summer Palace of King Rama V. This eclectic collection of buildings calls to mind a quaint mixture of European and Thai architecture.
Continue by motorcoach to Ayutthaya for lunch at a local hotel. Then, reboard your coach to explore some of Ayutthaya’s most famous and interesting ruins.
Visit Wat Chai Wattanaram -- a replica of the Angkor Wat temple -- and Wat Mahathat, one of Ayutthaya’s oldest temples. Don’t miss the Buddha in a Bodhi tree.
Reboard your coach for the three-hour scenic drive back to the pier.
