Bang Pa In Palace

• We’ll start the tour with a stop to see Bang Pa-In summer Palace, an old palace built in the Ayutthaya period by King Prasat Thong. The site was first used by the royal court as a summer retreat in the 17th century. However, the Palace was destroyed with the fall of Kingdom of Ayutthaya and was restored by King Rama IV in the mid-19th century. Most of the buildings that exist today date from the reign of King Rama V, who regularly spent his summers there. The structures represent a variety of architectural styles, set in a large park around ponds and waterways.
• Admission included.

Wat Yai Chaya Mongkol

• visit Wat Yai Chai Mangkon, the tallest pagoda in Ayutthaya. This temple is hypothesized to be built in the early phase of Ayutthaya Era. Its original name is Wat Pa Kaeo. This temple was greatly renovated in the reign of King Naresuan the Great,
• After the fall of Ayutthaya, Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon was abandoned and restored in A.D. 1957 when it was turned into a functional temple with monks residing inside. Since then, the temple has been developed consistently.

Wat Mahathat

Wat Mahathat, also located in the city of Ayutthaya, and see why a Buddha head with tree trunk and roots growing around it and is over a hundred-years-old has become a strange beauty that has made this temple famous to both Thais and foreigners. Have lunch at a local restaurant (cost of lunch is not included in the tour fee) and continue to see the last two temples on the tour.

Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

Wat Phra Si Sanphet, an important temple built in the Royal Palace that enshrines Phra Si Sanphet Dayan, had all its gold burned when the city was destroyed in 1767.The Temple is not only a significant historical site, but also considered as the spiritual center of Thais for a long time. Situated within the royal Palace grounds, Wat Phra Sri Sanphet is the royal monastery and therefore no monk is allowed to reside at. However, the temple served to conduct ceremonies within the royal court, such as the ritual to drink an oath of allegiance. It is also regarded as an equivalence of Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai and a model for Wat Phra Sri Ratana Sasadaram (the royal temple of the Emerald Buddha) or Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.

Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Lokayasutharam)

Wat Lokayasutharam, it is assumed that it was built in the middle of the Ayutthaya period and this temple houses the largest reclining Buddha statue in Ayutthaya. The open-air site of the large reclining Buddha, which is made of brick and covered with plaster, is approximately 29 meters long. The ruins of large hexagonal pillars near the image are believed to be the ruins of the Ubosot.
