Full description

This is a 7-hour experience from Bangkok, built around Bus/coach, Wat Chaiwatthanaram and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. Your place is held with the operator before we treat your booking as final.

Ayutthaya was the capital of Siam for 417 years until the Burmese sacked it in 1767, and its ruins, 80 kilometres north of Bangkok, are a UNESCO site of brick prangs and headless Buddhas spread across an island in the river. The Buddha head held in the roots of a bodhi tree at Wat Mahathat is the image everyone comes for, and the etiquette is to crouch so your head is lower than its own. Wat Chaiwatthanaram on the riverbank is the best-preserved complex and is lit at night. The heat is fierce by 11:00; tours that start early and use a bicycle or a tuk-tuk between temples see more than those on foot.

The price covers Travel insurance, guide and Round trip transportation. It does not cover Lunch, Personal expense and Admission fee, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

River City Bangkok. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date before treating your booking as final. If the date cannot be confirmed we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

I recommend it only if you are spending many days in Bangkok. Our guide Mr Boy very kind and well prepared he gives even too much info. Unfortunately lunch break too early ( 11:25 am ), but clean and good restaurant. Pretty but ruined temples.

Our tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable and gave enough information to learn but did not overwhelm you with facts. He was extremely nice and kind and gave a great tour of Ayutthaya. Our driver Ms Mac was reliable and drove wonderfully. You even get complimentary water. Kelly, if you’re reading this: thank you so much for your time, I learned a lot yesterday!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

River City Bangkok
The price does not cover lunch, personal expense and admission fee (80 baht / temple / person). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Shoulders and knees covered, for men and women, and no ripped jeans, vest tops or leggings; the Grand Palace turns people away at the gate and hires out sarongs. Shoes come off in every building with a Buddha image, so slip-ons save time. Sit with your feet pointing away from the Buddha and do not climb on any statue for a photo.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
