A full day tour, bringing you to visit the former capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya, situated approximately 75 kilometres north of Bangkok and one of those destinations, you have to see. The mixing of cultures in Ayuthaya began in the mid-16th century when ships from Ayuthaya plied the Asian seas, trading with neighbouring countries.   When the Dutch began showing up in the 17th century, Ayuthaya became a port city and trade routes were extended to China, Japan, Indonesia, Portugal, Holland and France and up to the Scandinavian countries later. Although the ancient villages of foreign traders lining the Chao Phraya riverbanks were abandoned when the city was sacked by Burmese troops in 1767, some remnants survive to showcase the cities past glory.

The tour starts at the Summer Palace of the late King Rama V), commonly known as “Bang Pa-In”, which is another touch of beauty.   You continue to the magnificent ruins of early splendour that Ayuthaya is famous for all over the world.   We will pass or visit all the most impressive ruins of this World Heritage Site for taking sufficient pictures.   Lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Ayuthaya.   We return to Bangkok by coach, where we will bring you back to Bangkok hotel.
