Ayutthaya Day Tour

Day 1: Ayutthaya Day Tour

Depart for the tour to visit Bang Pa-In Summer Palace comprises a collection of buildings of various ages and various architectural styles surrounded by a lake. Originally built by King Prasattong in the Ayutthaya era, Bang Pa-In was the place for the kings in the Ayutthaya period to visit and enjoy, but it was left unoccupied when Bangkok became the capital. Its importance was reestablished when King Rama IV and King Rama V restored the palace, and some new buildings were built. Then, take a long tail boat for a short trip to explore the hidden charm of the beautiful temples in the old city of Ayutthaya. Visit Wat Yai Chai Mongkol is situated in the southeast and opposite Ayutthaya city. A large Chedi of this Wat can be seen from a far distance. This monastery was built by King U-Thong in 1357 A.D. for the use of the monks who had returned from Ceylon after studying under Phra Vanarat Maha Thera. Visit Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. This is the most important temple within the Royal Palace compound and the original from which the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok has been copied. Three outstanding Ceylonese style pagodas were built during the 15th century to enshrine the ashes of three Ayutthaya kings.
