Ayutthaya: Day Trip from Bangkok Guide⤵️ Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand, is a UNESCO World heritage Site that offers a rich historical experience. While Bangkok, the modern capital, is bustling & beautiful, in Ayutthaya one can explore the ruins, witness the blends of Thai, Khmer and Burmese influences, and immerse in the city’s fascinating past. Have you been to Ayutthaya or heard about this place? 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐀𝐘𝐔𝐓𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀 ✦ Depending on which part of Bangkok you are, you will take anywhere between 60-80 mins by road to reach this historic city ✦ To avoid crazy traffic of Bangkok, it’s best to start at crack of dawn from Bangkok ✦ For best flexibility, you can rent a car or hire a Grab or taxi. Alternatively you can take a train at Bang Sue railroad station – the journey takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the train type. ✦ The historical site has separate entrance fee to many temples mostly priced 50 baht (US ~1.5) per person for foreigners ✦ It’s a huge historical park of many stunning temples and impossible to visit all in a day trip ✦ My favorite & most beautiful temples to visit: - Wat Yai Chai Mongkon - Wat Ratcha Burana - Wat Chaiwatthanaram - Wat Phra Si Sanphet - Wat Phra Mahathat ✦ If you prefer a more immersive experience, stay a night in Ayutthaya and explore the temples on a bike, experience the floating markets, night life etc. Find more such travel tips, itineraries and adventure @globetrottingsu✨ . . . . . #ayutthaya #bangkok #amazingthailand #amazingnewchapters #thailandtravels

A Journey Through Time and Culture My visit to Ayutthaya Historical Park in Thailand was a mesmerizing experience that allowed me to step back in time and immerse myself in the rich cultural heritage of this ancient city. Ayutthaya, located just a few hours from Bangkok, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases the historical and spiritual essence of Thailand. Getting There: Traveling to Ayutthaya from Bangkok is convenient and accessible. You can opt for a comfortable train ride or take a bus to reach this historical treasure. Practical Tips: Dress respectfully when visiting temples and historical sites in Ayutthaya. Rent a bicycle to explore the vast park, as it offers flexibility and allows you to cover more ground. Take a guided tour to gain a deeper understanding of the park's history and significance. My Experience: Upon arriving at Ayutthaya Historical Park, I was immediately struck by the sheer size and beauty of the ancient ruins. The park is home to numerous temples, each with its unique charm and historical significance. Wat Mahathat, with its iconic Buddha head entwined in tree roots, was particularly captivating. Cycling through the park, I marveled at the architectural marvels of the past. The intricate details and craftsmanship of the temples reflected the grandeur of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. I also had the opportunity to enjoy a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River, which provided a different perspective of the historical park and its riverside temples. As the sun began to set, I found a quiet spot to sit and absorb the peaceful ambiance. It was a moment of reflection and connection with the profound history of Ayutthaya. In conclusion, Ayutthaya Historical Park is a treasure trove of Thai culture and history. Visiting this remarkable site is like taking a journey through time, and it left me with a deep appreciation for Thailand's rich heritage.

Our visit to Wat Phra Si Sanphet was part of a Klook tour, and it turned out to be the temple that truly took my breath away among all the ones we saw in Ayutthaya. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a stunning example of Thailand's rich historical and cultural heritage. Even though the temple is now only ruins, it’s impossible not to imagine what it looked like in its prime. The grandeur of the remaining structures speaks volumes about its past splendor. The three large stupas (chedis) are particularly impressive and offer a glimpse into the architectural prowess of ancient Ayutthaya. It was incredibly hot when we visited, but honestly, I didn’t care. I was too captivated by the site and didn’t want to miss the opportunity to take lots of pictures. The ruins are extensive, and there’s so much to see and explore. Thankfully, they provide umbrellas that you can borrow, which was a big help in the scorching sun. After touring the site, make sure to buy the fresh juice sold outside. What amazed me was that the prices weren’t jacked up to take advantage of tourists. The juice was refreshing and reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. You might also come across elephants outside the temple. However, I didn’t like that they were exploited for tourism, and I hope this practice stops. In summary, Wat Phra Si Sanphet is a must-visit when in Ayutthaya. Despite the heat, the historical significance and beauty of the ruins make it an unforgettable experience. Don’t forget to take lots of pictures and enjoy the fresh juice to cool down afterward!
