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 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 motor coach to Ayutthaya where you will enjoy lunch at a local hotel. Re-board your coach to explore some of Ayutthaya’s most famous and interesting ruins including 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. Re-board your coach for a three-hour drive back to the pier.
