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 an approximate three-hour drive on a motorcoach to the historic city of 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 Yai Chai Mongkon, the Great Monastery of Auspicious Victory against the Burmese. The monastery was constructed by King U-thong in AD 1357.
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 a three-hour drive back to the pier.
Notes:
Modest attire is required for visiting temples; no fitted or collarless tops are allowed; shirts/blouses must cover shoulders; trousers must cover knees; shorts and mini-skirts are not permitted. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Minimum age is 6 years. Tour order may vary.
