Detailed itinerary

Established in 1395, Wat Phu Khao Thong stands as a significant landmark in the northwest of Ayutthaya. This monastery has witnessed numerous alterations in 1569, 1587, and was last reconstructed in 1744, the design of which remains visible today. The compound encompasses an operational temple constructed on top of age-old ruins and provides breathtaking sweeping views from its heightened foundation. As a vibrant symbol of the area's deep-rooted history, it remains an active site of Buddhist devotion.

Wat Mahathat is a historically significant 14th-century temple renowned for the iconic stone Buddha head entwined in a Bodhi tree's roots. Despite its destruction during the fall of the Ayutthaya Kingdom, it remains a popular tourist destination, with its ruins offering a fascinating insight into Thailand's rich history..

Wat Phra Si Sanphet is a significant historic site and was once considered the grandest temple in the ancient capital. This temple was used exclusively for royal ceremonies. It houses the ashes of three Ayutthayan kings. This impressive complex reflects the architectural style of the late Ayutthaya period and serves as a symbol of a once-thriving kingdom.

Home to the Phra Mongkhon Bophit, one of Thailand's largest bronze Buddha statues crafted in 1538, Viharn Phra Mongkol Bophit is a grand assembly hall within a Buddhist temple, as indicated by the term "Viharn". Over the centuries, this remarkable statue, also known as "Phra Mongkol Bophit", has been relocated and conserved by a succession of Thai monarchs and undergone multiple restorations following incidents including lightning strikes and fires.
