What To Expect
Wat Yai Chaya Mongkol
Wat Yai Chai Mong Khon is very famous throughout the world as it’s recognized as the World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1991 and it’s very important because it’s the location of 1 of the 8 great stupas of the country which is the highest stupa in Ayutthaya Island with the height of 62.10 meters.
Wat Phanan Choeng Worawihan
Wat Phanan Choeng was built in 1324, 26 years before the founding of Ayutthaya capital in 1350. The large image hall houses the seated Buddha image of 19 meters in height and 20 meters in width at the lap span. The buddha was built from bricks and plaster covered with black lacquer and gold. The Buddha is regarded as a guardian for mariners and was restored many times until the fall of Ayuttha kingdom. The temple and the Buddha were destroyed by fire.

5.00WOW! That was something exceptional to experience, to visit these temples and all the fun little details like the Buddha head grown into the tree and then we also did a very nice boat tout in Bangkok, it was interesting to see the city from a different place beyond the back seat of a taxi. Staff was very pleasant and helpful

5.00Da was an amazing guide! She showed us all the key temples in one day without making anything feel rushed. The boat ride around Ayutthaya was calm and really lovely such a nice way to see the city. Ayutthaya itself is full of charm and history, and Da explained everything in a clear, engaging way. Great service, great stories, and a tour I’d definitely recommend.
Ayutthaya was beautiful

5.00Annie’s energy won. She pointed out funny carvings on the statues, turned random corners into photo ops, and somehow made history feel like gossip. The boat ride cooled us right down. Great day.

5.00Jenny was an awesome guide on our Ayutthaya tour. She knows so much about the history and made each temple visit interesting with cool stories. Walking around the ancient sites felt easy and relaxed, and the boat ride later was perfect to kick back and enjoy the river views. A really enjoyable day discovering the city’s past.

5.00We had a really nice day with James. Everything was on time, and the trip felt comfortable. We didn’t feel rushed, but we also didn’t stay too long at each place. It was just right for us. The boat ride around the river was my favorite part very calm and a nice way to see the local life by the river. James told us simple stories and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. He also helped us try some snacks at the market and took a few good photos for us, which was really sweet. Overall, it was an easy, relaxing day. I’m happy we booked this tour

5.00Spent the day wandering Ayutthaya with Tina. The ruins were amazing, especially the Buddha head tangled in tree roots I kept snapping photos! The boat ride along the river was super peaceful. Tina was really friendly, pointing out fun details and stories that made the day easygoing and a lot of fun.
A wonderful guide.
