Discover the Wonders of Ayutthaya and Chao Phraya River

Begin your adventure with a guided transfer from central Bangkok to Ayutthaya, the historic capital of Siam and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This thoughtfully crafted day trip brings Thailand’s rich royal and spiritual past to life, letting you explore extraordinary temples, ancient ruins and the summer retreat of kings — before gliding back to Bangkok with a scenic Grand Pearl river cruise.

Explore Thailand’s Ancient Capital

Your journey starts in Ayutthaya where you’ll walk in the footsteps of kings at Bang Pa-In Palace. Here, manicured gardens and ornate pavilions show a unique blend of Thai, Chinese and European influences, a testament to centuries of royal habitation. Wander the tranquil grounds, admire the lakeside structures and learn about the monarchy with your guide’s insights.

Temple Highlights and UNESCO Heritage

The tour continues to Ayutthaya’s best-known temples. See the iconic Buddha head encased in tree roots at Wat Mahathat and marvel at the imposing stupas of Wat Phra Si Sanphet, a royal temple that once formed the heart of the kingdom. You’ll also visit Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit, home to a massive bronze Buddha. Each site reveals layers of history, art and religious heritage, with plenty of time to explore and capture photographs.

Grand Pearl River Cruise: Lunch with a View

Following the temple tour, board your modern and comfortable Grand Pearl cruise ship for a relaxing afternoon journey back toward Bangkok. Feast on a buffet of Thai and international specialties while taking in panoramic river views from open-air or indoor seating.
