About this experience
Go beyond a typical temple tour and discover Ayutthaya through its living Buddhist traditions. Begin at Wat Phanan Choeng, one of Ayutthaya's oldest living temples and home to Thailand's Giant Golden Buddha. Experience authentic Thai culture by making merit, offering prayers, feeding the sacred giant river fish for good luck, and trying Kau Cim (fortune sticks), a traditional ritual still practiced by local worshippers today.
Continue to Wat Mahathat, one of Ayutthaya's most iconic UNESCO World Heritage temples, famous for the Buddha head embraced by ancient tree roots. Learn the fascinating history of Thailand's former capital as your guide brings the ancient kingdom to life.
Enhance your journey with an optional traditional boat ride along the Chao Phraya River, passing historic temples, riverside communities, and scenic landscapes before rejoining the tour. Guests who do not select the boat option will travel comfortably by air-conditioned vehicle and visit the same attractions.
Enjoy an authentic Thai lunch featuring local specialties before exploring the magnificent Wat Chaiwatthanaram, one of Ayutthaya's most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage temples and a masterpiece of Khmer-inspired architecture.
This all-inclusive experience includes travel by standard mini van (9–12 seats per van), temple entrance fees, an authentic Thai lunch, a professional English-speaking guide, and basic travel insurance. More than simply sightseeing, you'll discover Ayutthaya's UNESCO World Heritage sites while experiencing authentic Thai Buddhist traditions that continue to thrive today.
