The tour’s highlight is the visit to Ayutthaya’s historic temples, including Wat Phanan Choeng, Wat Mahathat, and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. Visitors explore the ruins and see notable features such as the 19-meter tall Buddha statue at Wat Phanan Choeng and the Buddha head entwined in Banyan tree roots at Wat Mahathat. The tour includes stops at these sites with time to walk through temple grounds and appreciate their historical significance. Earlier in the day, the journey begins at the Mae Klong Railway Market, where vendors pull back their awnings as a train passes through the market’s center. This market has operated since 1905 and is known for its unique setting on active railway tracks. Visitors have about two and a half hours here, including travel time from Bangkok. Next, the tour continues to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Guests take a ride on a traditional long-tail boat through the market’s canals, seeing colorful stalls along the water. This market was created in 1866 to connect two rivers and improve transport. Although it is popular with tourists, the market still shows the canal trade lifestyle. The boat ride and time at the market last around two hours. The full-day trip lasts about 10 to 11 hours and is conducted by air-conditioned vehicle. The guide speaks English and hotel pickup and drop-off are included if the hotel is on Khao San Road or Siam Square. One bottle of drinking water per person and the long-tail boat ride at Damnoen Saduak are also included. Entrance fees to temples and meals are not included in the price. The group size is limited to 12 participants.

Itinerary
Mae Klong Railway Market (Hoop Rom Market)
This market has been active since 1905 and served as a key local spot for selling fish and produce. When the railway was built to transport goods, the market adapted by selling directly on the tracks. Vendors quickly pull back awnings and move goods just before a train passes through the middle, then resume business as usual. The stop includes the travel time from Bangkok and lasts about two and a half hours in total.
150 min
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
This floating market, established in 1866 by King Rama IV, links the Mae Klong and Tha Chin rivers and was intended to improve transport between provinces. Visitors board a traditional long-tail boat to navigate narrow canals lined with colorful market stalls. Although it has become tourist-focused, the market still provides a view of canal life. The visit here lasts around two hours.
120 min
Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan
Founded in 1324, Wat Phanan Choeng is one of Ayutthaya’s oldest temples, established 26 years before the city itself. It is known for its 19-meter tall seated Buddha image called Luang Pho Tho, regarded as one of Thailand’s most beautiful. The temple remains actively used and attracts many Thai Buddhists who come to pay respects and make merit. An entrance fee of 20 THB per person is not included and must be paid in cash on the tour day. The stop duration includes travel time from Damnoen Saduak to Ayutthaya.
180 min
Wat Mahathat
Once the spiritual and political center of Ayutthaya, this temple housed important Buddha relics and was the Supreme Patriarch’s seat. It played a key role in royal ceremonies and is known for the stone Buddha head entwined in Banyan tree roots. Visitors walk among ruins including chedis, walls, and Buddha images. The entrance fee of 80 THB per person is not included.
60 min
Wat Phra Sri Sanphet
Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the grandest temple in Ayutthaya’s Royal Palace complex, reserved exclusively for royal religious ceremonies and without resident monks. It once housed a 16-meter tall standing Buddha covered with over 150 kilograms of gold, which was melted down during the 1767 Burmese invasion. Although much of the temple was destroyed, three bell-shaped stupas containing ashes of Ayutthaya kings still stand. An entrance fee of 80 THB per person is not included and must be paid in cash on the tour day. The stop duration includes travel time returning to Bangkok.
