Overview

Ayutthaya was the capital of the Siamese kingdom from 1350 to 1767 and holds several historical temples. This full-day bus tour from Bangkok lasts about 10 hours and includes visits to notable temples in Ayutthaya before traveling to Lopburi to see the famous monkey temple. The tour begins with a visit to Wat Phra Sri Sanphet, located on Ayutthaya’s city island. This site features three restored chedis housing the ashes of three kings. Next, the group stops at Wat Yai Chaya Mongkol, known for its large prang built during the 14th century under King U Thong. Wat Mahathat follows, one of Ayutthaya’s oldest temples, with remains including pagodas, royal halls, and the well-known Buddha head entwined in tree roots. Admission fees to these sites are not included and must be paid on-site. After touring Ayutthaya, the bus travels to Lopburi. The first stop is Phra Prang Sam Yot, a Khmer-era monument from the late 12th or early 13th century, recognized for its resident wild monkeys. Visitors should note that sightings of monkeys are not guaranteed and the entrance fee is paid in cash. The tour continues with a walk around Lopburi’s old town, where ancient Khmer-style ruins and Buddhist temples can be seen. The day concludes with a return to Bangkok. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off from hotels in the Khao San Road and Siam Square areas, an English-speaking guide, one bottle of drinking water per person, and travel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Food, lunch, admission fees, and gratuities are not included. Group size is limited to 10 participants.
