What To Expect

Wat Mahathat

Wat Mahathat, “the temple of the Great Relic” was one of the most important temples in the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Located on the historical island the large monastery features a huge central prang, a very large principal viharn and ubosot and a great number of subsidiary chedis and viharns. The upper part of its once massive central prang has collapsed. Today only the base remains.

Wat Phra Sri Sanphet

Wat Phra Si Sanphet, also known as the "Temple of the Holy, Splendid Omniscient" was the holiest temple in Ayutthaya during the Ayutthaya period and until the city was destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. It was the grandest and most beautiful temple in the capital and it served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.

The land and the river cruise itinerary was great. It gave us the opportunity to see Thailand from both perspectives.
Loved it.

So good! Our guide was awesome and sooooo informative! I only had a couple of days in Bangkok and this definitely covered a lot of cool things. Worth it if you don’t have much time. The boat ride back is epic, the bridge is so low we had to duck down to the floor if you were on top deck. Hilarious and awesome.

Nice trip, the tour is pleasant. The boat itself does not leave on the spot but you are still on bus for about 1 hour. The return trip takes about 3 hours.
