Your Ayutthaya Day
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
Explore one of Ayutthaya’s most important historic temples and the former royal temple of the ancient capital. Its three distinctive chedis are among the city’s best-known landmarks.
Wat Mahathat
See the famous Buddha head embraced by the roots of an ancient tree — one of Ayutthaya’s most recognisable and photographed sights.
Wat Chaiwatthanaram
Admire the impressive Khmer-style towers of Wat Chaiwatthanaram beside the river. The temple’s distinctive architecture makes it one of Ayutthaya’s most memorable locations for photography.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon
Discover this important Buddhist temple, renowned for its large reclining Buddha and impressive chedi surrounded by rows of Buddha images.
Bang Pa-In Summer Palace
Continue to the beautiful Bang Pa-In Summer Palace, a former royal retreat surrounded by landscaped gardens. Its unusual combination of Thai, Chinese and European architectural influences makes it very different from Ayutthaya’s ancient temples.
